Toronto councillors reached a compromise regarding the implementation of sixplexes, approving them only in nine specific wards while allowing other wards to opt-in. Councillor Gord Perks pushed for broader city-wide adoption but ultimately settled for a motion for eight specific wards, emphasizing the need to increase housing density. The decision aligns with federal commitments to boost low-rise housing and addresses concerns about the city's infrastructure capacity to support such developments. Officials believe this is a pivotal step towards enhancing Toronto's housing solutions.
Coun. Gord Perks mentioned, "I've spent a considerable amount of time and effort... trying to find majority support for doing what this council already committed to in 2023..."
The decision allows councillors from 16 wards to opt-in for sixplexes, demonstrating a pathway for increased housing density in Toronto.
