At the risk of taking this thread on a left turn, what counts a housing start in order to be added to the tracker? In Waterloo's case, given the amount of construction underway, I can't believe that only 547 units were started in 2023. Ditto Kitchener at 1176 and Cambridge at 781. Also, if the municipalities can't compel a developer to build after their a project has been approved with an eye towards that goal, then what happens?
