#KitchenerON - Building for the Future!
#Engagewr has been described as "the closest thing the Region has to participatory democracy, in that it posts projects that the cities/townships/region are working on and solicits feedback from the people living there / using the amenities to guide the ways in which they are doing the project."
Welcome to Kitchener 2051!
"As Kitchener grows to become a city of up to 450,000 people, we need a new plan. A new Official Plan will guide growth and shape the way that neighbourhoods evolve and change. The new Official Plan needs to be ambitious and clear in our intentions as we plan for the Kitchener of 2051.
Kitchener 2051 is about the people who call Kitchener home today and in the future
That includes #IndigenousPeople, #newcomers, longtime residents, business owners and entrepreneurs. It’s about our community today but also about the people who are not yet here. Like the young people who will grow old in our community, the family looking to move to Kitchener, or the student who will call our community home after graduation. Kitchener 2051 looks at how we move around the city and the places in between. It is about what we will need to do together to grow, adapt, and succeed in a #resilient and complete city.
Kitchener 2051 needs to consider a full range of perspectives to ensure that the Official Plan reflects the needs of all. This includes communities often underrepresented in these processes, like equity-denied communities, renters, and people who have experienced #homelessness, #poverty and #HousingPrecarity.
Along the way, we will learn from the community as we shape an Official Plan that reflects who we are, what we value, and the Kitchener we can become."

🌎 [EN] 🏠✊ Blackstone expanded after the 2008 crisis by buying cheap homes to rent and speculate. A basic human right turned into a financial asset, driving up prices and pushing families out. Housing is for living, not profit. #HousingForAll #StopSpeculation #RightToHousing

This article is from 2022, but I'm sure the problem has gotten way worse! Also, any #HUD studies about this have disappeared off of government websites, and of course, #VOA has had their funding cut!
Investors Snap Up Affordable Homes, Especially in Black Neighborhoods
October 15, 2022 6:32 AM
By Dora MekouarExcerpt: "The housing situation in Parramore isn’t unique. It’s being repeated in major U.S. cities across the country. More than 13% of all homes sold in 2021 were sold to investors, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). First-time homebuyers are 30% of the market right now. In a healthy market, 40% of buyers are first-time homebuyers, NAR says.
" 'It's been very difficult for homebuyers to find affordable or #StarterHomes. And when they're buying lower cost homes, they're competing with #investors who are coming in with cash offers and that's difficult to compete with,' says Anne Ray, a researcher at the Shimberg Center for Housing Studies at the University of Florida.
"It’s a trend that accelerated during the pandemic, according to NAR.
" 'We have seen, during the pandemic especially, that investors, whether it's a mom-and-pop investor or an institutional investor, are coming into the marketplace for rental properties,' says Jessica Lautz, NAR’s vice president of demographics and behavioral insights. 'Investors are jumping into the market understanding there's demand for rental properties and this allows them to actually increase rents and to have this as an investment property that can be income generating.'
"And technology is making it easier for investors to buy affordable homes on a large scale.
" 'I think what's relatively new is these large investors picking up lots of properties and using a lot of automated tools and working at scale to acquire properties,' Ray says. 'That used to be harder to do.'
"When prospective buyers can’t afford to buy, the ripple effect can extend to the rental market.
" 'It also makes it more difficult for other people to find affordable rental housing,' Ray says, 'because people who would have moved on from a rental to an ownership unit are staying in the rental unit.' "

I love articles like this that try to garner sympathy for hard done by landlords: "if I don't get my own way I may have to sell my FOUR homes" - cry me a river!
