Let's talk about buying a 🏠 in #Markham #Ontario.
At today's fixed rates of 4.5% & a 30 year amortization, a 750k house with 20% down will give approximately a $3000 per month mortgage. Currently, there are ZERO houses in Markham available for 750k.

Notice there are also zero properties available in #RichmondHill & #Vaughn. So let's up it to $850k. The result is....yup, still ZERO!

Let's go to 950k. NOPE!

#Vaughan Block 41 Public Meeting 7pm. Subject of a #Greenbelt removal & downgrading of #Greenbelt protection from prime agricultural to rural to allow active urban parks (#ROPA7)
It's a mess. 1/x
Agenda Link: pub-vaughan.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?I…
LiveStream: vaughan.ca/council/minute…

First figure is the Block Plan as submitted by the Landowners Group. It's not in compliance with the PPS, Greenbelt Plan, CAA.
The second figure is the Secondary Plan approved by Council in 2019, reaffirmed by the tribunal approval in 2021 (OPA 50) 2/x
omb.gov.on.ca/e-decisions/pl…

Landowners never had any attention of complying w/ the Secondary Plan as approved by Council & reaffirmed by 2021 tribunal decision. Always planned illegal #Greenbelt parks...As is evident by this 2017 figure 3/x

Attention #Markham, we need to talk about YCDSB trustee candidate Luca Mele, running in Wards 1,2,3 & 6. Luca Mele is a far-right conspiracy theorist who should not be anywhere near a school board seat. 1/

Of course, your first hint is that on his campaign website, he rants about “extreme leftist woke curriculums,” but let’s dig a little deeper. 2/

Luca has run for office before, most recently with the New Blue Party, getting a little over 2% in the 2022 provincial election. New Blue is one of two far-right splinter parties in Ontario; for more information see my previous thread on Glen Armstrong:

Attack on #YorkRegion's #Greenbelt ROPA 7 requests portions #Greenbelt prime agr. to be re-designated to rural in #Markham #Vaughan. Lipstick on a pig. ROPA 2, ROPA 3 brought lands into urban boundary & areas subject to ROPA 7 protected as Regional Greenlands System 1/x

Vaughan, Markham & York Region staff don't support ROPA 7 b/c it's premature. Areas called 'Greenbelt Fingers' part of ongoing Policy Direction review for #YorkRegion's #OfficialPlan2051. About protection of watersheds, habitat connectivity & corridors, urban agr. 2/x

Applicant is over simplifying the request. Rural recreational uses are not well defined, for eg. a golf course could be allowed. Explained well in #Markham's Staff Report 3/x

Personal experience thread on COVID appointments. I am beyond frustrated, and @Fordnation's lack of planning and communications ineptitude is now affected my personal life.

From a person who has book thousands of people.

Please unroll. /1

Myself and a band of volunteers started markhamvaccinates.com late February when we realized that asking seniors to navigate an online system to book their appointments is going to be painful. /2

The BIGGEST problem we have now is "Policy by Press Conference", with absolutely NO tangible information for anyone to look up online. This leads people to jump to conclusions and get really excited at the prospect that they are next up in line. /3

This photo is not about me. It’s to welcome people to contact me if they have Qs on why there are protests happening for Black lives, why we need to do something, how we can help, etc. I’m also open to hearing different perspectives & learning from you as well.

@YorkRegion

I can admit that almost a decade ago, I did not know much about this, nor care about it as much as I do now, so I believe that everyone has the potential to learn, care and grow. DM me for questions and convos.

Lots of gratitude to the youth organizer, her fam (@Nicole_Baxter21) & them putting their trust in me to speak abt the need for more support from non-Black folks, my students & friends who came out on June 13 for the #BLM #Markham protest, & Markham leaders who came out as well.
