How Our Homes Shape Our Culture | Ep 117

Toronto’s “Missing Middle” is finally getting attention—but is it too late?   In this episode, we unpack insights from the Buildstak summit: why the city’s Yellow Belt is under pressure, how multiplex conversions are leading the charge, and what 452 new permits reveal about housing trends. We explore how suburban sprawl reflects values like independence and privacy—and whether today’s housing choices are isolating us. From the politics of COA approvals, NIMBY resistance, and family-sized units, this is a deep dive into the relationship between housing, policy, and the kind of communities we’re really building. - - - Send your feedback to [email protected]
