Great to chat about #affordablehousing with Councilor Parthi Kandavel HousingNowTO at IMFG reception!
Good ideas, and public policy for that matter, stand the test of time! Great too see the resurgence of co-op housing after governments abandoned co-op building programs in the 1990's! #affordablehousing
