Endorsement Quote: "Ottawa is in the middle of a housing affordability crisis affecting the majority of its population. Building more houses quickly is essential to the health of our city, but we must also build them in a way that creates vibrant, affordable, sustainable communities across the city. Starts With Home has a platform of strong ideas, which I am proud to endorse, that will help make Ottawa an affordable, sustainable, world-class city."
| 1. Stop the Loss | ✔️Tenants Protections | ✔️Housing Acquisition:"Done well, this strategy may also allow us to protect recent homebuyers from financial ruin by offering them a guaranteed buyer, and to obtain land on which to infill denser housing with additional units. This is core to my own platform as well." |
| 2. Create More | ✔️Inclusionary Zoning | ✔️Increased Budget |
| 3. Preserve the Quality | ✔️Landlord Licensing: "Landlord licensing with a public directory can also help keep rents more stable. Huge rent increases between tenants will be bad PR if they are public knowledge." |
