Can more townhouses and apartments address Toronto’s housing crisis? a CBC News story on Sunday, May 12th, 2024 quoted Gord Perks as stating,
Coun. Gord Perks pushed back at suggestions that this type of housing doesn’t belong in some neighbourhoods in Toronto.
“Frankly, the form we’re discussing here exists on side streets in the ward I represent, on tiny little dead ends,” he said. “There are apartment buildings built to this form that were built 100 years ago.”
Perks also rejected the idea of exempting streets from the proposal.
“It just opens the door to everyone pulling out a street here, a street there, until the whole sweater unravels and we have no policy,” he said.

The quote was concerning the fact that Toronto councillors have approved changes to zoning bylaws which restricted where townhouses and small apartments could be built across the city.
