And people wonder why we can't get housing built. Toronto city council has overwhelmingly voted to block the proposed housing at 160 Homewood Ave, based on:
- Proposed 3-storey 4-plex covers 34.8% of the lot, compared to 30% permitted
- Height of 10.65 metres, compared to 10.0 metres allowed, "posing massing and coverage issues disproportionate to the neighbourhood".

Be sure to vote our Election Night Edition this upcoming Monday, as the polls close at 9:30 PM. Then, come for the pizza and stay for the tech discussions. We don’t know if the venue (Victory Cafe, 440 Bloor St. W.) will turn on the TVs for election results. We usually adjourn before that time, anyway. The festivities start at 6 PM!
