SEDRA, the South Eglinton Davisville Residents Association, has emailed members about what is known Expanding Housing Option in Neighbourhoods. It is said to propose as many as five housing units per lot. It seems fair to call the notion radical. City Council, as presently formed, has many ideas to increase density (or add homes) to the City of Toronto. Like the Garden Suites concept, now a legal option available to any homeowner, it seems to challenge fundamentally the present makeup of single-family neighbourhoods (ie one lot, one house, one family). This historic concept is apparently considered not viable and perhaps old-fashioned. You may well have your own view. And SEDRA is asking homeowners to attend a Webex meeting scheduled for Wednesday at which this will be discussed.
Need to modify Garden Suite legislation
And the Leaside Residents Association is asking members to send mail to Councillor Robinson about the need to modify the Garden Suites legislation as it presently exists. Below is a video of “investors” talking last year about how Garden Suites as an investment will soon “sweep across Ontario”. One might say that if it doesn’t scare you, nothing will.
