My @TorontoStar column: Critics said multiplexes were madness. It turns out they provide cheaper and larger places to live. (No major parking problems, either!)
With the data they've got, council should have no doubt: sixplexes are the sensible move.

There's a record number of Toronto condominiums on the market right now, and nobody seems to want to buy them. @dzlo discusses what’s behind the recent sales slump. bit.ly/3RGXT51

Is your property tax fair? Inside a troubling trend hitting some of Toronto’s cheapest homes while many mansions catch a break thestar.com/news/investigati… via @torontostar
Oooooh, excellent questions! The overassessment we’re seeing in our Toronto database is tied to the most affordable end of the housing market, which tends to be … condos. Are we paying a higher $ amount but lower tax rate relative to our neighbours? Will get back to you on that.
Replying to @dzlo
The experts! Are properties in Toronto overvalued compared to our neighbours bc of the market here and thus do we pay higher dollar amount but lower percentage? And do condo owners pay more tax compared to freehold?
Interesting approach. Thanks for raising it. Let’s talk more :)
Maybe instead of raising Toronto property taxes we could just tax mansions based on what they're actually worth today rather than based on faulty underassessments from 2016... Just a thought 🤔...

This helps answer a question I had when we were talking about property taxes this past election cycle… sort of
Thanks @alysanmati :) Wonder how many people will guess the correct number of houses it will take for the City of Toronto to make up the shortfall created by a Rosedale mansion that’s been undertaxed by 20 per cent because of its low assessment value … spoiler: it’s in the story
Do you miss all the yelling about property taxes during the election? Well this is the story for you from the @TorontoStar’s @KenyonWallace and @dzlo

Could not be prouder of my hometown girls hockey club that is making the game more accessible + equitable for athletes of all ages and abilities. This is a great feature by @CBCTheNational on a wonderful moment showcasing first-class sportsmanship.

This is shocking. I follow covid and would not have known our deaths are more this year than previous.
