๐Toronto officials advocate for a provincial rule amendment to enable the city to purchase surplus land from the public school board for housing development. Currently, the requirement to sell at "fair market value" hinders such deals, deemed unaffordable for social good projects. With over 600 properties, the Toronto District School Board holds significant land assets that could aid in addressing the housing crisis. Mayor Olivia Chow emphasizes repurposing public land for housing and community spaces instead of selling it off. Collaborative efforts have already yielded success, as seen with the development at Davisville Junior Public School. The city urges a shift towards utilizing public land to address pressing needs rather than disposing of it permanently.โ . ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐ & ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐ฐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ก๐๐ฌ๐! ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฃ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ก ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ซ +๐ (๐๐๐) ๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฃ.๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ค๐ค๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ง@๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐.๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ฒ๐จ๐ญ๐.๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐ฏ๐, ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐จ๐ง, ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ @mukkadan.joseph . . #TorontoHousingCrisis #PublicLandUsage #SchoolLandSales #CommunityDevelopment #AffordableHousing #UrbanPlanning #CollaborativeEfforts #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
