General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

Province limits affordable housing to region’s ‘urban spine’

I applaud Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge for wanting affordable housing everywhere inside their boundaries. I can see where the Province is going with only advocating for affordable housing with 800m of transit stations (eg affordable housing shouldn't be transit deserts).

I wonder if there is a way that the three Cities could counter propose "inclusionary zoning" within 200m (or some other number) of a bus route. But then you wouldn't want residents advocating against transit altogether as a means to prevent affordable housing.
