Brian Crombie focuses on more affordable housing by intervening two lawyers at Robins Appleby about the Ontario a housing Affordability Task Force which recently released 55 recommendations many of them dramatically restricting municipal government zoning and regulations.

“There is the disclaimer about affordable housing followed by all kinds of affordable housing stuff: there is the vexing question about unlimited height and elimination of parking requirements and the push to rental in established neighbourhood. There is wonderful admission that we have the land we need in Urban areas now but cities just aren’t approving them.” My guests are:

- Leor Margulies. As head of Real Estate Group, Leor represents financial institutions on all forms of commercial and construction real estate lending.  He also has a significant land and residential development practice representing both established and newer real estate developers and builders.
- John Fox. Also a partner at the law firm Robins Appleby specializing in development and housing law. At one point, before returning to law, he ran the development division at Toronto Community Housing. Now, about half of his practice relates to social and affordable housing.
