It's becoming impossible to live in Toronto.

Fast-track non-profit, co-op, supportive, and purpose-built rental housing on public land. Use city tools to approve housing faster near transit, legalize more homes in more neighbourhoods, and prioritize homes people can actually afford over speculative luxury projects.

Stop sitting on city-owned land while rents explode. Dedicate more public sites to non-market housing, mixed-income housing, and family-sized units, and make sure public land delivers long-term public benefit instead of short-term land deals.

Cut delays for rental, co-op, and supportive housing projects while demanding good design, infrastructure, and livable neighbourhoods. The city should be strict about quality, not addicted to delay.

Expand proactive apartment inspections, enforce property standards aggressively, publish landlord compliance records, and go after illegal renovictions, neglect, and demovictions. Tenants should not have to become private investigators to get basic repairs.

Reduce the pressure on working people through lower transit costs for those who need it most, better access to affordable childcare spaces, and targeted city relief for low-income residents, seniors, and families.

Toronto cannot set provincial rent law on its own, but it can lead. Push for stronger rent protections, a more functional Landlord and Tenant Board, and provincial rules that stop tenants from being priced out through abuse and loopholes.

Restore trust in transit with better bus and streetcar frequency, all-door efficiency, bus lane enforcement, and a rider-first service standard. People should not need to budget an extra 30 minutes just in case the TTC fails them.

Improve safety with more visible staff, faster crisis response, better station design, and non-police mental health teams for people in distress. Riders want order, predictability, and help when something is going wrong.

Set a higher bar for station cleanliness, washroom access, lighting, elevator uptime, and snow clearing. Public transit should not feel neglected.

Deliver cleaner sidewalks, parks, transit stops, and public spaces with faster litter pickup, graffiti removal, illegal dumping response, and better bin placement. Small signs of neglect add up fast.

Repair broken lighting, damaged sidewalks, unsafe intersections, and neglected streetscapes faster. City services should respond before small problems turn into a permanent feeling of disorder.

Improve snow clearing, sidewalk maintenance, washroom access, tree care, and park upkeep so public space works in every season, not just on paper.

Invest in outreach, supportive housing, mental health care, and addiction treatment so fewer people are left cycling between the street, the TTC, shelters, hospitals, and emergency services.

Public parks, sidewalks, libraries, and transit should be safe and welcoming for everyone. That means expanding housing, treatment, and crisis supports so people are not left without options, while reducing the strain that unmanaged crisis places on shared spaces.

Prioritize evidence-based programs that actually help people regain stability — including supportive housing, mental health care, addiction treatment, and case management — and track outcomes so city funding is tied to reduced crisis, better health, and long-term recovery.

Make it safer for kids, seniors, and families to cross major streets and move through neighbourhoods with better crossings, lower-speed design, clearer curb management, and traffic calming where it is actually needed.

Target the corridors and intersections where people are getting hurt with signal fixes, daylighting, safer turning design, better signage, and faster implementation instead of endless study.

Enforce bus lanes, loading zones, and no-stopping areas properly, coordinate construction better, and design streets so deliveries, transit, cycling, and driving can function with less daily conflict.

Make permits, patios, signs, inspections, and storefront changes faster and simpler. Small businesses should not need a consultant just to navigate city hall.

Support vibrant commercial strips with cleaner streets, safer public space, vacancy reduction tools, and construction coordination that does not wreck local businesses for months at a time.

Use city procurement and local economic development to keep more money circulating in Toronto, especially in manufacturing, food, repair, culture, and neighbourhood services.

Protect funding for libraries, recreation centres, pools, parks, and community spaces. These are some of the few parts of city life that still work for everyone.

Expand access to study space, youth programming, newcomer services, digital literacy, job support, and climate-safe indoor space where people already gather.

Invest in playgrounds, washrooms, splash pads, sports fields, shade, seating, and maintenance so public spaces are not just available, but genuinely usable and welcoming.

Push for more childcare spaces, safer school zones, better crossings, and easier access to camps, pools, playgrounds, and recreation programs.

Improve sidewalk accessibility, benches, lighting, public washrooms, and local services so seniors can stay active, independent, and connected in the neighbourhoods they know.

Families and older adults should not have to navigate a maze to access transit, recreation, permits, or support. City services should be simpler, more local, and easier to use.

Make it easier for independent venues, galleries, artists, and community cultural spaces to survive rising costs, permitting headaches, and redevelopment pressure.

Protect the independent shops, restaurants, makers, and gathering places that give neighbourhoods their identity instead of letting every strip become interchangeable and hollow.

Build more housing and welcome change without flattening the heritage, street life, and local culture that make Parkdale–High Park worth living in.

People should be able to count on the city to answer 311, fix broken things, issue permits, and keep public space functioning without endless delays and handoffs.

Cut consultant bloat, reduce duplication, and force better coordination across departments so residents and businesses are not stuck paying for city dysfunction.

Publish clear timelines for repairs, permits, complaints, and maintenance, then report publicly on whether the city is actually meeting them.

Toronto should have more control over housing, transit, revenue tools, and local planning. A city of this size should not have to beg the province for permission to act like a real government.

Toronto carries big-city costs that benefit the whole region and country. The city needs stable provincial and federal funding for transit, housing, shelters, and infrastructure.

Collaboration is good when it delivers results. Fight when necessary, partner when useful, and stop treating performative conflict as a governing strategy.

Shift more of the burden upward through progressive revenue tools, fairer taxation of high-value property and land uplift, stronger enforcement, and an end to giveaways that do not deliver public value.

Audit low-value spending, consultant bloat, and vanity projects. Put money into housing, transit, cleanliness, safety, and neighbourhood services people actually notice.

Aggressively pursue provincial, federal, institutional, and non-profit partnerships so Toronto is not trying to solve every problem from the property tax base alone.
