Toronto Deputy Mayor Says Downtown Isn't for Families
He argues against requiring developers to build family-friendly units downtown.
Downtown Toronto is not for families, according to the city's deputy mayor.
At a recent city council meeting, Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday raised concerns about a policy requiring the developer of a proposed 47-story downtown residential tower to provide a minimum of 10 percent of the units with at least three bedrooms. Requiring these units, geared toward families, has been pushed by the area's council representative and the city's acting planning chief.
