As someone who’s spent years helping families and individuals find their place in Muskoka, I see firsthand how Ontario’s housing affordability crisis impacts real people. With home prices now more than seven times the average annual income, it’s no wonder so many feel overwhelmed. High taxes, mounting fees, and layers of regulation only add to the challenge. The path forward? It’s clear Ontario needs housing reforms that prioritize real relief—like easing tax burdens, streamlining approval processes, updating building codes, and reconsidering land transfer taxes. My time as an MPAC property inspector taught me how these policies shape not just dollars and cents, but the lives behind every front door. Change here isn’t just about numbers—it’s about making it possible for more families to find a place they’re truly happy to call home.
