Your City Hall is actually doing stuff about housing, fam!
Okay, but real talk—the Planning and Housing Committee had a big day on April 14, 2026. The RentSafeTO Update Report *and* an Official Plan Amendment Application for 105-109 Vanderhoof Avenue and 10 Brentcliffe Road both passed unanimously, 4-0. Councillors Gord Perks, Frances Nunziata, and Jamaal Myers all voted "Yes" on both items.
What does this mean for us?
* **RentSafeTO:** This is huge for renters across the city, especially with how wild things are right now. This program is supposed to make sure landlords are keeping buildings safe and up to code. Seeing it updated and approved means they're trying to keep up with the issues, though we all know the enforcement needs to be stronger.
* **Vanderhoof/Brentcliffe:** This application for Vanderhoof Avenue and Brentcliffe Road is about shaping how our neighbourhoods grow. These are often the first steps for new developments, and seeing a unanimous vote means the committee is on the same page about what they want to see happen in that specific area. I'm always watching these, dude, because it's where we see the city actually changing.
The next thing to watch is how these plans get implemented. It’s one thing to vote it through, it’s another to see it actually make a difference on the ground.
Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.
