Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today.
My
mother
has
mend
and
I
are
here
to
request.
The
council
deny
our
neighbors
application
for
exemption
from
pen
size
restrictions
in
the
city
by
law.
My
family
ally
and
I
live
at
1:28,
Park
Road,
the
masonry
wall
runs
the
length
of
our
property
line
at
the
rear
of
our
property,
and
both
of
our
properties
are
heritage
properties,
and
we
have
known
had
no
direct
contact
with
this
neighbor.
In
several
years
before
the
wall
was
built.
C
We
had
a
five
foot
high
chain-link
fence,
which
ran
along
the
property
line.
It
was
a
ravine
naturalistic
setting
privacy
was
assured
through
both
our
and
our
neighbors
plantings
on
both
sides
of
our
property.
Our
neighbors
started
building
his
wall
in
2016
and
it
was
largely
finished
in
the
summer
of
2017.
He
has,
however,
continued
to
add
to
the
walls
since
that
time.
In
April
last
year,
over
a
period
of
five
days,
he
increased
the
height
of
the
wall
to
over
three
meters.
This
was
done
without
our
consent
and
without
any
prior
notification.
C
C
The
increased
height
of
the
wall
has
had
a
very
negative
impact
on
our
property.
The
wall
is
a
massive
and
O'war
size
presence
in
our
backyard.
It
now
feels
like
our
backyard
about
to
prison
from
mid-november
to
May,
with
no
leaves
on
the
trees.
It
is
truly
a
horrible
menacing
presence.
We've
had
people
ask
us
where
the
guards
are
from
the
prison.
C
This
is
a
hi-tech
photo
of
my
husband
next
to
a
wall,
he's
6
foot
1
and,
as
you
can
see
it
towers
over
him.
The
plan
in
the
submission-
that's
actually
with
the
report
from
the
city,
is
our
neighbors
plan
and
it
shows
the
elevations
from
his
side,
not
from
our
side
and
from
our
side.
It
is
substantially
higher
the
garden.
The
increased
height
of
the
wall
had
a
very
negative
impact
on
our
garden.
It's
drastically
reduced
light
and
air
flow.
C
Our
grass
and
many
plantings
have
died
and
our
trees
and
remaining
plantings
are
at
increased
risk.
According
to
our
advisors,
many
of
our
shrubs
did
not
flower.
Last
summer,
this
has
been
difficult
to
watch
as
we
are
active
gardeners.
We
previously
submitted
letters
from
central
tree
care
care
who
had
did
a
lot
of
the
plant
selection
and
trees
after
the
wall
was
built
for
us
and
which
details
the
risks
to
our
garden
and
what
has
happened.
There's
also
a
letter
from
Dale's
gardening,
which
I
hope
you've
had
a
chance
to
look
at.
C
C
We've
tried
to
come
up
with.
You
know
why
someone
would
build
a
fence
like
this,
and
these
the
only
things
that
we
came
up
with.
We
don't
think
it's
noise,
we
live
a
very
quiet
lifestyle
and
I've
never
had
a
complaint
from
a
neighbor
from
a
security
perspective.
We
have
lots
of
security,
alarms,
cameras,
avanti,
etc.
We
haven't
never
had
a
break-in
and
no
one
has
broken
into
the
neighbors
from
our
property
and
there
are
easier
ways
to
get
into
his
place.
He
leaves
his
front
gates
open
all
day
and
all
night
privacy.
C
We
have
multiple,
mature
trees.
The
totally
obscured
our
yard
from
the
back.
Also
his
entertaining
area
is
very
set
back
from
our
property,
so
you
can
see
the
distances
there
in
2008
when
he
put
in
his
hot
tub.
We
actually
installed
the
beach
a
hedge
here
to
obstruct
views
from
his
to
our
kitchen,
because
we
didn't
want
him
looking
in
our
windows,
but
since
2016
he
has
actually
chopped
down
nine
trees
along
the
property
line
on
his
size
that
we're
not
protected,
and
here
you
can
see
this
is
May
2018.
C
Before
the
wall
was
increased
in
height,
you
can
see,
we
can't
see
his
backyard,
we
can't
see
its
backyard,
and
this
is
autumn
of
last
year,
arts,
though
height
was
increased,
but,
as
you
can
see
the
star
hedging,
that
is
providing
the
privacy
and
not
his
wall.
So
in
closing
up,
we
just
like
to
say
you
know
the
heightened
prophecies
of
this
fans
have
severely
and
negatively
impacted
our
property.
We
do
not
have
an
enormous
garden,
but
it
used
to
be
beautiful,
is
not
dominated
by
a
prison-like
wall
and
grass
and
plants
would
grow.
C
A
A
B
A
B
Representing
mr.
Barry,
here
too
mr.
Rick
McClanahan,
we
submitted
for
an
exemption
to
fence
by
law
based
on
a
couple
of
things.
The
property
is
a
historical
property.
One
of
the
oldest
in
Rosedale
apparently
has
a
fence
or
wall
on
the
south
and
east
sides
of
the
property.
The
wall
in
question
today
is
of
the
same
nature
but
higher,
and
it
goes
along
the
back
wall
of
one
to
four
Park
Road.
B
A
E
A
B
A
F
G
A
B
C
H
H
H
Can
you
please
lower
your
voice?
I
would
ask
us
all
to
stand
in
silence
to
remember
the
tenant
who
lost
his
leg.
The
tenants
that
cannot
be
here
because
of
the
upheaval
of
their
lives
in
2015
at
the
hands
of
bizarre,
continues
to
take
its
toll
to
this
day
and
for
the
tenants
that
are
lost
in
the
wind
missing
from
our
community.
H
H
H
No
to
any
and
all
proposals
from
bizarre
unless
they
provide
a
legally
binding
contract
that
stage
three
specific
things
number
one.
They
agreed
to
replace
the
twenty
seven
dwelling
Luna
units
they
originally
D
tenant,
'add
that
the
tenants
who
originally,
who
originally
displaced,
be
given
the
first
right
of
return
and
that
they
returned
at
the
same
rate
that
they
were
unlawfully
evicted
at.
Let
us
be
clear:
the
city
of
Toronto's
attempt
to
omit
and
downgrade
the
impact
this
potential
development
has
had
and
will
have
in
Parkdale
will
act
as
proof
of
the
city's
complicity.
H
A
I
A
I
I
I
I
I
People
are
putting
a
building's
left
right
and
center
people
like
us.
We
can't
afford
those
places
we're
on
ODSP.
One
welfare
I
mean
like
in
reality.
Okay,
I'm,
not
blaming.
You
are
not
blaming
you
the
constituents,
but
where
does
it
stop?
You
know,
make
something
happens.
It's
gonna
help
us.
You
know
it's
really
a
shame.
I've
lost
four
people
that
I
know
of
through
suicide
clubs.
One
I
can
go
on
and
they'll
probably
be
more
I
have
a
friend.
He
lost
his
foot.
Why?
I
I
He
threw
out
stuff
didn't
why
don't
we
threw
it
out
or
the
guys
that
took
it
walked
out
with,
but
a
lot
of
it
went
and
a
lot
of
it
was
mine.
I
had
gold,
ingots
I
had
other
valuables
that
were
taking
watches
stuff
like
that
I
was
told.
Oh
yeah,
you
can
come
back
and
get
him
where
I
didn't
see.
One
thing
come
back
to
me,
belong
to
me
and
I
think
like
it
was
not
cheap
stuff.
This
was
given
to
me
by
my
parents
that
rips
my
heart
other
people.
I
Maybe
we
don't
have
much,
but
we
do
have
one
thing
we
have
pride.
We
have
pride
in
our
neighborhood.
We
have
pride,
the
people
that
live
there
and
I'm,
not
gonna,
stand
by
and
watch
some
guy.
That's
got
money,
walk
in
and
say:
well
you
you
know
what
I
mean
it's
not
fair,
you
guys
got
a
sink
before
something
drastic
happens
and
it
will
happen.
I
I
It
should
be
stopped
here
and
now,
because
all
it
is,
is
a
money
grab
kicked
out
to
tenants
now
he's
got
this
shabby
hotel
boy,
which
is
not
really
I,
don't
know
how
the
city
passed
it.
This
is
not
a
hotel,
I've
run
a
hotel.
I
know
a
hotel.
I
can
I
could
go
through
everything
in
the
hotel
that
place.
Not
one
thing
in
there
follows
the
guidelines
of
hotel
I've
run
Oh
the
Hyatt
Regency
walk-around,
so
tell
the
Prince
like
this
is
garbage.
I
I
A
J
J
Five
minutes
I
have
no
no
conclusion
other
than
to
say
that
when
we
were
evicted,
it
was
done
seemingly
room
by
room
and
I
was
there
in
a
patient
at
Donna,
Medical
Center
I
had
been
sleeping
outside
and
the
landlord
there
took
me
in
because
I
lost
my
toes
to
gangrene.
I
got
frostbite
sleeping
on
the
bench
at
University
and
Queen
Street,
which
is
fairly
close
to
Queen
I.
Guess
I,
don't
wander
too
far,
I've
been
living
here
for
about
10
or
11
years,
and
while
I
was
there,
I
had
to
walk
to
Dunn
Street.
J
That
was
fine.
I
had
therapeutic
boots
and
the
like,
but
I
had
a
chance
to
meet
Tom
and
Paul
and
Clive
and
and
Betty,
and
a
few
other
people
that
were
tenants
there
and
I
really
appreciated
having
a
rent
that
I
could
afford
on
ODSP
to
five
hundred
and
thirty-five
a
month
and
it
was
sort
of
like
a
family
there.
It
was
a
place
where
I
could
get
better
after
seeing
a
lot
of
indifference.
I
guess
you
know,
people
sleeping
on
the
street
and
the
lake
and
mr.
J
I
didn't
ask
for
anything
in
the
original
suit,
because
I
figured
well
I'm
just
a
tenant
there
and
I
don't
need
to
know
the
landlord's
business
or
the
rest
of
it.
So
for
me,
I
thought
you
know,
landlords
are
like
this
rather
than
ask
for
something
other
than
an
apartment
or
a
different
place
to
live.
It
seems
seems
to
be
sort
of
a
contradictory
to
making
good
terms
with
your
landlord,
but
I
see
this
is
going
on.
It's
been
many
years
raining.
A
K
Hello,
so
my
name
is
Joshua
Barnes
and
executive
director
of
the
Parkland
neighborhood
Land
Trust,
also
a
resident
on
BT,
so
I
live
just
a
few
doors
down
from
this
address
so
I'm
here,
both
as
a
community
member
and
also
resident
who's
gonna,
be
impacted
by
this
development.
I
was
there
when
the
unlawful
eviction
that
you've
heard
about
already
occurred.
K
It's
may
be
important
to
state
some
facts
about
that
in
2015
from
what
we
understand,
bizarre
development
developer,
purchased,
1521,
Queen,
Street,
West
and
tuned
into
their
ownership.
In
the
summer
of
2015,
they
delivered
what
you
would
call
legally
an
unlawful
eviction
notice
asking
the
tenants
there
to
leave
within
seven
days.
They
claimed
that
folks
there
were
hotel
guests
when
in
fact
they
had
been
living
there,
many
of
them
for
quite
a
long
time.
Multiple
years
and
a
lot
of
the
tenants
had
been
actually
having
their
rents
paid
through
ODSP
directly
to
the
landlord.
K
So
there
is
a
paper
trail.
So
what
we?
What
we
knew
at
that
time,
when
we
saw
this
happen,
is
that
we
thought
we
thought
oh
they're,
trying
to
get
the
tenants
out
so
when
they
build
a
new
or
proposed
a
new
structure,
they're
not
going
to
have
to
do
undertake
rental
replacement.
They
don't
want
the
liability
of
tenants
and
they
feel
that
they
think,
as
developers
come
into
our
community,
that
they
can
just
erase
people
erase
us.
But
as
you've
seen
here
today,
we
are
organized.
K
Our
community
is
willing
to
stand
up
against
this
type
of
behavior
from
investors
in
our
community
who
are
willing
to
hurt
and
harm
our
fellow
residents,
and
so
since
then,
we've
actually
been
really
working
with
the
city
to
try
to
address
the
type
of
process.
That's
reflected
their
exemplary
of
this
of
this
eviction.
I
should
say
that
the
the
eviction
was
deemed
through
quota
through
a
court
process
to
be
unlawful
by
the
province.
K
The
province
actually
investigated
this
and
the
developer
pled
guilty
to
four
counts
of
unlawful
eviction.
There's
actually
a
legal
term
to
it.
I
camera
the
exact
wording,
in
any
case
the
the
the
problem.
The
prosecutor
understood
that
there
were
actually
around
twenty
seven
people
living
in
the
in
the
building
prior
to
the
eviction.
However,
the
prosecutor
decided
to
select
four
select
tenants
who
would
be
willing
to
go
through
a
longer
court
process
rather
than
bringing
all
all
of
those
units.
You
know
all
of
those
unlawful
evictions
forward.
K
K
If
anyone
was
at
that
meeting,
it
was
a
hundred
residents
yelling
at
them
for
an
hour-and-a-half
asking
for
them
to
be
held
accountable
for
the
city
to
hold
them
accountable
for
their
past
actions
and
for
this
application
not
to
be
approved
not
to
be
taken.
And
then
there
again,
the
developers
underlined
you'll
see
there
are
proposing
that
that
their
application
be
looked
as
in
force,
so
policies
in
force
and
and
ignore
the
the
other
planning
processes
that
have
been
underway
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
to
deal
with
equitable
development.
K
The
last
thing
I'll
say
is
that
this
development
is
asking
for
only
three
parking
spaces.
According
to
the
city,
zoning
bylaw
there's
a
requirement
for
around
fifty
one
point:
two
spaces
under
the
residential
just
for
the
residents
residential
component.
I
live
on
BT
and
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
there
is
not
enough
parking
there's
a
church
on
the
corner
that
doesn't
have
parking
or
shaft
s.
K
L
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
Mercedes
sharp
and
I
work
as
the
planning
coordinator
for
the
Parkdale
people's
economy
at
Parkdale
activity,
Recreation
Center
I'm
actually
going
to
be
taking
my
five
minutes
to
share
the
story
of
a
former
tenant
of
the
Queens
Hotel,
who,
unfortunately,
couldn't
be
here
due
to
health
circumstances.
You've
actually
heard
his
name
mentioned
in
a
couple
of
the
previous
deputations.
His
name
is
Paul
Schneider.
You
can
see
him
here,
unfortunately,
due
to
compromised
health
and,
as
you've
heard,
loss
of
a
foot,
he
could
not
make
it
here
today.
L
My
name
is
Paul
Schneider
and
I've
experienced
at
firsthand
the
suffering
and
displacement
that
often
results
from
a
neighborhoods
rapid,
unchecked
gentrification.
My
meager
savings
ran
out
in
2013,
forcing
me
to
relocate
from
a
lovely
rent,
controlled
bachelor
apartment
in
Riverdale
to
a
lowest
common
denominator
of
a
flophouse
called
the
Queens
Hotel
in
South
Park
Dale.
It
is
there
that
I
was
introduced
to
the
sorts
of
stressors
which
plagued
the
impoverished
and
marginalized
from
bedbugs,
roaches
mice
and
rats.
Two
major
repair
issues
to
negligent
landlords.
L
The
Queens
had
it
all
and
yet
I
was
grateful
for
a
place
to
live,
however,
substandard,
as
I
had
come
within
days
of
homelessness.
Moreover,
I
discovered
a
little
community
at
Queens.
My
fellow
tenants
had
all
experienced
poverty
or
mental
illness
or
addiction,
and
they
understood
my
struggles
without
needing
them
to
be
explained.
The
Queens
billed
itself
as
a
hotel,
but
in
point
of
fact
it
operated
as
a
de-facto
rooming
house
sheltering
20
or
25
of
the
community's
most
vulnerable
residents
over
a
period
of
months
and
years.
L
There
were
no
short-term
guests,
no
reception
desk,
no
amenities
comment,
even
the
cheapest
motels
in
2015,
when
the
so
called
Bazaar
group
of
companies
purchased.
The
Queens.
My
home
became
a
place
of
instability
for
your
intimidation
and
uncertainty,
even
as
company
representatives
personally
assured
us
that
their
homes
were
safe
behind
the
scenes,
mash
nations
were
underway
that
which
would
ensure
the
OP
sit.
A
campaign
of
harassment
ensued,
the
hot
water
was
permanently
turned
off,
the
bathroom
doors
were
removed,
depriving
us
of
privacy
and
dignity.
L
Dozens
of
frivolous
calls
to
police
were
made
against
several
of
our
more
outspoken
residents.
Same-Day
evictions
were
common,
including
the
evening
expulsion
of
a
woman
whom
they
knew
was
facing
a
spinal
cord
surgery.
The
following
morning,
finally,
one
day,
I
arrived
home
to
find
a
notice
to
my
door,
informing
us
that
we
were
being
evicted
with
six
days
notice.
The
morning
concluded
with
a
promise
to
toss
out
any
and
all
personal
possessions
left
behind
those
six
days
were
hellish
and
chaotic.
L
The
company's
contention
was
that
as
a
hotel,
the
innkeeper's
act
legally
afforded
them
the
right
to
expel
us
with
no
forewarning.
Well,
we
fought
them
taking
them
to
the
landlord-tenant
board
and
charging
that
the
queens
was
functionally
a
rooming
house,
and
that
eviction
was
there
by
Lee
illegal.
It
was
eventually
settled
in
mediation.
This
move
did
not
stay
us
of
our
expulsion.
L
However,
on
August
7th
2015
I
arose
to
find
the
bank
biker
goon
standing
outside
the
front
entrance
thick
tattooed
arms
crossed
guarding
against
any
incursions
by
media,
our
MVP
at
the
time,
Cheri
diNovo
or
any
other
outsiders.
We
had
to
be
out
at
precisely
11:00
an
and
those
who
failed
to
complete
the
move
by
then
were
prevented
from
finishing
the
job
and
some
are
Samara
expelled
without
any
of
their
personal
effects.
Several
lost
everything
they
owned
of
the
20
odd
tenants.
Three
quarters
of
us
wound
up
on
the
street
or
in
the
shelter
system.
L
I
was
one
of
the
lucky
ones.
At
the
11th
hour,
I
landed
a
dreadful
room
in
a
squalid,
rooming
house.
The
woman
with
the
surgery
date
wound
up
convalescing
in
a
pup
tent,
a
good
friend
of
mine
was
assaulted
twice
in
the
shelter's,
resulting
in
a
broken
jaw.
One
tenant
sadly
ended
up
committing
suicide
with
bad
credit
and
spotty
references.
There
are
still
a
few
of
us
20
months
later,
who
have
yet
to
find
stable
housing.
L
This
part
is
for
council.
This
is
the
human
toll
of
unchecked
gentrification.
It
ruins
and
costs
lives.
It
is
a
cruel
and
amoral
free-market
force,
which
week's
habit
on
the
lives
of
the
disadvantaged.
Sadly,
it
appears
there's
a
very
little
political
will
to
meaningfully
address
the
issues
created
by
gentrification
in
South.
Park

were
out
here
on
our
own.
The
Land,

and
others
are
trying
to
keep
the
area
livable
for
us
in
lieu
of
any

from

L
L
G
Thank
you.
My
name
is
David
Colin
I'm
a
volunteer
with
the
park,
a
Land,
Trust
and
I'm
here
to
read
a
statement
by
one
of
the
neighbors
of
development
Adrienne
Delano
councillors.
My
name
is
Adrienne
Delano
I
reside
on
Beatty
Avenue
in
the
park.
Dale
neighborhood,
just
south
of
the
side
of
this
proposed
development
I'm
also
the
community
for
the
coordinator
at
greenest
city,
a
charity
that
operates
in
Parkdale
I
apologize.
I
cannot
be
here
to
address
the
council
in
person.
Park
Dale
is
community
in
Toronto
that
has
a
deep
history.
G
The
neighborhood
is
punctuated
by
landmarks
that
write
this
history
in
the
built
environment
that
is
Parkdale.
Some
of
these
landmarks
speak
to
the
optimism
and
resilience
of
this
community.
The
number
of
growing
small
businesses
from
newcomer
communities,
the
dedicated
collection
of
agencies
and
organizations
that
serve
the
residents
here
and
the
compelling
articulation
of
community
autonomy,
as
illustrated
by
the
Parkdale
people's
economy
and
community
benefits
framework
they
have
put
forward.
We
can
also
see
this
history
in
the
transitions
from
large
single-family
homes,
turned
rooming
houses
and
now
luxury
micro
bachelors.
G
Another
landmark
on
the
map
of
Parkdale
is
the
former
Queens
Hotel
at
1521
Queen
Street
West
I
do
not
want
to
speak
on
behalf
of
those
who
are
forcibly
and
unlawfully
removed
from
their
residences
at
this
site
to
make
way
for
the
application
before
council
today,
as
I,
don't
think
I
could
give
their
ordeal
the
depth
it
deserves,
but
I
can
speak
as
a
resident
and
a
community
worker.
Please
review
that
history
and
their
experiences
yourself,
but
it
is
plain
to
me
that
this
developer
has
acted
in
bad
faith.
G
First
in
its
unlawful
repossession
of
units
that
were
providing
housing
for
vulnerable
residents
and
now
in
their
benevolent
characterizations
of
the
proposed
development,
when
they
pled
guilty
to
four
counts
of
unlawful
possession
of
rental
units,
they
acknowledged
their
own
predatory
behavior
but
seemed
to
justify
it
through
a
conflagration
of
excuses.
Denials
emissions,
legal
technicalities
and
most
obscenely
by
the
claim
of
contributing
to
the
housing
stock
of
the
city.
G
They
paid
the
paltry
fourteen
thousand
dollar
fine
mandated
by
their
guilty
pleas,
but
that
does
not
absolve
them
of
their
place
in
this
history
or
provide
solace
for
those
who
had
to
pick
up
their
belongings
off
the
street
and
find
new
housing.
It
is
simple:
a
profit-driven
developer
is
using
the
failures
of
our
housing
system
to
justify
their
predation
on
some
of
your
city's
most
vulnerable
people.
G
They
are
also
requesting
that
they
not
be
held
to
their
basic
civic
responsibilities
to
replace
the
affordable
housing
stock
they
destroyed
by
way
of
the
revisionist,
convoluted
and
self-serving
history
that
they
have
put
forward
to
complement
their
proposal
today.
It
is
crucial
that
council
hold
Bazaar
accountable
for
their
actions
and
craft
a
way
forward
that
does
not
only
seek
to
expand
a
luxury,
cosmopolitan
housing
stock,
but
fundamentally
promote
the
right
of
the
city's
residents
to
live
in
dignity
and
safety.
G
Otherwise
we
have
again
allowed
a
part
of
this
community's
history
to
be
written
by
the
highest
bidder
with
the
most
efficient
ethical
practices.
Please
take
the
time
to
look
at
the
ground-level
history
of
the
site
over
the
past
five
years
and
decide
if
this
is
how
you
want
to
develop
communities.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
A
A
No
okay:
are
there
any
questions
of
staff
nope
all
right,
I'll
speak
to
this
briefly,
am
I'm
going
to
be
moving
the
staff
recommendation,
so
I
want
to
I
think
the
members
of
the
community
who
came
out
and
who've
come
out
to
so
many
meetings
on
housing
and
land
use
and
Community
Development
for
years
now,
I
wish
the
rest
of
Toronto
City
Council
had
been
here
this
afternoon
to
hear
this
story
and
to
hear
also
the
strength
of
the
community
bonds
in
Parkdale.
It's
very
powerful.
Thank
you.
A
City
staff
and
the
planning
department
are
mindful
of
this
story.
They
are
doing
work
to
make
sure
that,
as
as
the
application
goes
forward,
that
we
get
the
best
deal
possible
within
the
law
for
rental
replacement,
there's
hard
work
to
do
there,
but
I
can
assure
you,
the
rental
rotation
replacement
planners
are
on
this
and
I
know
that
they've
spoken
with
some
of
you
directly
I
also
want
to
make
sure
you're
aware
that
at
least
the
councillors
in
this
room
take
this
kind
of
renovation
very
seriously.
A
Councillor
Fletcher
chairs,
a
committee
that
we
struck
with
herself
and
councillor
Bradford
and
I
to
see
if
the
city
can
step
up
and
try
to
fill
some
of
the
gap
left
by
a
provincial
government
who
treats
tenants
as
second-class
citizens.
I
will
make
sure
that
you
are
part
of
those
conversations.
I
know
many
of
you
have
been,
but
it's
very
sobering
hearing
what
you've
had
to
say
today
and
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
coming
up.
F
E
E
The
bottom
of
that
pecking
order
is
the
municipality
and
tenants.
It's
just
very
unfortunate
and
again
a
reminder
of
how
upside-down
planning
in
the
province
of
Ontario
is
giving
municipalities
who
have
to
manage
housing.
Crisis
have
to
manage
local
transportation,
have
to
manage
local
delivery
of
services.
How
we
are
constantly
constantly
being
passed
over
in
order
to
maintain
the
power
at
the
provincial
level
and,
in
fact,
even
more
recently
give
more
power
to
developers,
and
this
is
just
one
of
those
sad
reminders.
E
E
Finally,
when
we
finished
our
canvassing,
we
were
only
managed
to
ensure
that
ten
ten
tenants
stayed
and
knew
their
rights
had
knew
not
to
take
what
was
a
disgusting
buyout
package
by
the
developer
or
the
previous
landlord
I'm,
hoping
that
maybe
this
will
change
in
time,
maybe
with
us
taking
a
human
rights
approach,
some
other
governments
will
start
to
clue
in
and
say
it's
just
not
fair
and
it's
not
within
keep
taking
that
approach.
But
it's
not
gonna
happen
until
the
actual
rules.
M
M
I
do
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
it
it
was
heard,
and-
and
sometimes
these
are
the
most
difficult
conversations
that
we
have,
especially
since
where's
we're
only
lurk
looking
at
what
seems
to
be
an
early
onset
process
called
a
preliminary
report
and
there's
the
going
out
to
the
community
to
have
that
sort
of
more
formalized
discussion.
The
the
lack
of
planning
controls
that
we
we
don't
seem
to
have
when
it
comes
to
single
room
occupants.
M
Hotels,
sort
of
larger
rooming
houses
is,
is
part
of
the
reasons
why
we're
in
such
a
state
of
of
difficulty
in
challenges
when
it
comes
to
sort
of
more
affordable
units.
I've
got
the
Inglewood
arms
in
my
own
ward,
at
295.
Jarvis
I
know
that
there's
about
a
hundred
residents
there,
a
hundred
households
that
are
that
are
living
in
in
fear
about
what
happens
in
the
future
and
and
again
it's
a
situation
where
we
had
the
preliminary
report.
M
We
had
a
community
meeting,
we
don't
have
the
final
report
and
it's
actually
now
sitting
in
front
of
the
Ontario
Municipal
Board
and
elpac,
along
with
the
the
the
rooming
house,
bylaw
that
the
City
of
Toronto
passed.
That
now
has
to
go
off
to
defend
and
and
most
recently
we
we
heard
about
the
big
acquisition
and
sale
of
the
Fillmore's
hotel
in
the
Jason
parking
lot,
and
that
is
not
necessarily
a
rooming
house,
but
certainly
I
know
that,
even
though
it's
designated
as
a
hotel
and
I
believe
it
was
run
as
largely
as
a
hotel.
M
There
are
still
what
I
know
to
be
people
who
called
those
hotel
rooms,
homes
and,
and
once
again,
even
though
it's
several
years
after
the
295
Jarvis
Inglewood
acquisition
and
even
the
zoning
application,
as
is
move
forward,
were
still
not
settled.
With
respect
to
new
and
stronger
rules
at
the
City
of
Toronto,
so
it's
been
a
number
of
years
and
more
and
more
of
what
we
see
as
affordable
types
of
homes
do
fall
to
the
wayside.
M
M
Community
chambers
is
to
is
to
recognize
how
difficult
those
stories
are
when
you
come
forward
and
tell
them,
and
just
to
say
that
I
know
that
everyone
here
is,
is
listening
and
and
extremely
energized
to
continue
to
fight,
even
though
it
is
a
very
steep
and
uphill
battle
which
we
will
do
together.
Thank
You.
D
Councillor
Bradford
thanks
very
much
to
the
chair
and
want
to
thank
all
the
deputies
for
sharing
your
experiences
today,
very
impactful
deputations,
as
you've
heard
from
everyone
here
on
the
committee
and
emblematic
of
a
huge
problem
that
we're
facing
in
Toronto.
You
know
when
I
listen
to
this.
It
just
becomes
so
acutely
apparent
that
if
the
intent
of
the
policy
provincially
into
the
City
of
Toronto,
if
the
intent
of
the
policy
is
to
protect
rental
units,
protect
rental,
tenants,
then
certainly
when
it
comes
to
these
sort
of
circumstances,
we
are
missing
the
mark.
D
If
we
want
to
protect
rental
units,
then
we
need
to
protect
all
rental
units
and
clearly
people
are
capitalizing
and
taking
advantage
of
the
the
language
in
the
legislation
where
there
are
blatant
loopholes
that
persist.
But
again
it
gets
back
to
the
intent
of
the
policy.
What
we
actually
want
to
do
with
the
policies
which
you
know.
We
have
broad
consensus
here,
certainly
on
this
committee
at
the
city
of
Toronto
and
yet
in
practice,
the
legislative
framework
obviously
makes
that
very
challenging.
For
us
to
do
so.
We're
not
where
we
need
to
be.
You
know.
D
I
know,
councillor
perks,
count
councillor
Layton,
councillor,
Fletcher,
council
viola
have
been
working
on
this
councillor
a
long
time
for
many
years
now,
and
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
I'm
new
to
this
discussion,
but
I
do
appreciate
you
sharing
your
experiences.
It's
very
impactful
and
it's
a
conversation
we're
going
to
need
to
continue
to
have
a
council
and,
frankly,
really
turn
the
screws
on
the
province,
because
this
is
this
is
an
issue.
That's
not
going
to
get
better.
D
A
F
We
don't
have
that
much
control,
but
we
certainly
are
there
to
fig
tree
whatever
we
can
to
the
table
from
the
city,
side
and
I
think
more
quickly.
If
we
can,
then
we
have
been
because
dealing
with
people
who
are
getting
renovation
notices
who
just
leave
that's
happening,
a
lot
they're
afraid
they
think,
oh,
my
god
have
to
get
out
of
here
rather
than
knowing
their
rights
rather
than
backing
them
up.
F
Rather
than
saying
you
stay,
you
could
have
a
right
to
return
and
all
the
old
parts
of
the
city,
all
along
Queen
Street
with
all
of
the
mid-rise
development,
are
forcing
a
lot
of
these
changes
into
communities
that
have
been
stable
communities
for
for
people
for
low-income
people
for
a
long
time.
If
and
all
the
services
are
all
there,
so
somehow
the
policies
that
we
put
in
place
around
mid-rise
has
this
is
an
unintended
consequence
of
clearing
people
out
of
communities
and
I.
F
Don't
know
how
to
go
back
and
look
at
that,
but
I'm
all
for
that,
because
when
we
said,
let's
build
european-style,
let's
build
8
storeys,
let's
have,
as
a
very
six
storeys
I
didn't
think
would
mean
as
of
right,
shutting
down
places
where
poor
and
low-income
people
are
living
and
I
do
believe.
It's
an
unintended
consequence.
It
wasn't
part
of
wasn't
forecast
that
that
might
happen,
and
that
is
happening.
F
Are
we
catching
up
we're
going
to
come
up
next
to
the
TCH,
see
application
for
those
tenants
who
are
in
Toronto
Community
Housing
that
landlord
has
a
requirement
to
bring
people
back.
There
is
a
right
of
return
in
that
new
development,
and
maybe
that
should
be
our
focus,
there's
always
a
right
to
return
baked
into
development
and
applications.
This
is
probably
and
close
to
an
as
of
right,
mid
rise
building.
How
do
we
go
from
that
to
something
that
includes
housing
and
to
be
able
to
hold
landlords?
F
A
N
Laughs,
thank
you.
I
didn't
hear
that
the
deputations,
but
since
the
beginning
of
my
term,
I
always
said
that
the
most
difficult
situations
that
I've
have
to
deal
to
deal
with
is
when
somebody
walks
into
your
office
and
asks
for
help
with
housing
and
used
to
be
that
a
lot
of
those
conversations
with
people
on
the
waiting
list
and
looking
for
more
affordable
housing.
N
Let
me
tell
you
that
over
the
last
few
years
has
been
more
and
more
tenants
being
evicted
from
their
homes,
their
communities,
places
of
that
they've
lived
and
have
their
families
for
many
many
years
and
at
the
same
time,
in
a
lot
of
these
situations,
tenants
being
exploited
a
lot
of
situations
of
you
know:
I
have
people
renting,
closets
I
have
people
being
you
know,
put
into
homes
with
1517
people,
I
have
people
putting
into
homes
where
the
fire
department
is
saying.
We
can't
allow
this
there's
bars
on
basement
winds.
N
N
Think
every
one
of
us
could
tell
you
about
these
situations
that
we
face
and
that
that
we
feel
so
powerless
because
you
want
to
get
out
there.
You
want
to
be
able
to
help
people
and-
and
we
need
to
move
quick
with
these
policies
and
see
how
we,
what
we
need
to
ask
the
order,
order
it
orders
of
government
and
really
put
pressure
to
get
these
things
moving
a
lot
quicker,
because
these
are
people's
lives
affected
in
the
city
every
day,
every
single
day
we
hear
these
stories
more
and
more.
A
A
F
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
chair
I
have
series
of
motions
related
to
this
are
going
up
on
their
which
have
to
do
in
particular
with
community
services
and
facilities,
including,
as
you
may
well
remember,
the
pool
that
we
had
to
reopen
after
a
year
it's
in
their
school
facilities
and
how
available
they
will
be.
Also.
F
Is
there
any
way
to
increase
the
affordability
in
any
way
of
the
existing
units
or
the
regular
market,
any
way
of
doing
that,
and
then
some
of
the
traffic
issues
that
were
raised
at
the
public
meeting
and
to
me
in
writing
and
public
realm
and
access
issues
to
be
reviewed
in
the
in
the
report
on
the
rezoning.
So
I
just
want
to
say
quickly
on
this
one
note
to
speak
for
a
minute.
I
just
want
to
welcome
carly
bowman
as
the
new
manager
for
East
End.
F
It's
a
mix
that
the
Auditor
General
said.
That's
the
type
of
mix
that's
necessary
when
Toronto
community
housing
is
revitalizing
to
add
the
affordable
housing,
so
I'm,
very
proud
of
the
community
and
all
the
work
everybody
has
done
to
get
us
to
this
new
standard
and
in
general,
everybody
understands
that
this
is
a
great
site.
F
Bradford
for
your
support
is
right
on
our
border
and
it
will
be
a
development
that
will
complement
businesses
and
everything
else
throughout
both
all
of
Queen
Street
East,
so
there's
still
more
to
go,
but
we're
at
a
very
important
threshold
to
date.
Passing
this
getting
this
done
and
getting
on
with
the
development.
That's
my
commitment
now
that
we
have
the
proper
mix
there
and
I
do
want
to
just
personally
thank
everybody
who
got
us
to
this
place
today
and
happily
move
these
amendments
and
the
staff
report.
A
A
A
N

You
just
write
a
note
to
councilor
Bradford
to
remind
him
that
it
doesn't
work.
Okay,
so
I'm
on
the
motion.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carriage,
I
couldn't
resist

couldn't
resist
