π Why arenβt we building more homes in Timmins?
We hear a lot about opening new land and creating new subdivisions. But what happens when lots have already been available for years and people still arenβt building?
I went out to Abbey Lane to look at the issue firsthand β and the numbers help explain the problem.
Then thereβs another part of our housing supply we shouldnβt ignore: the homes already standing in our community.
Before we spend millions creating something new, we should be asking how we can make housing easier to build, repair and actually afford.
Use what we have.
Fix what we can.
Make housing easier to create.
Iβm Robert Crocco, candidate for Timmins City Council β Ward 5.
This election, the power is yours.
