Varying only in degree, the leaders and their political machines advocate : 1. Massive doses of money to acceleâ€" rate construction ; 2. Large scale public housing conâ€" struction and limited rent accomâ€" modation ; 38. Satellite cities to bring the price of housing down to sane levels. Unfortunately, the adoption of any one, or, all three of these schemes will fail to bring housing within reach of the middle and lower income Fraser & Simms The opposition Liberals and New Democrats, therefore, blame the shortage and skyrocketing rents and real estate prices on the provincial Conservatives. The Conservatives, in turn, claim that the Federal governâ€" ment is responsible.

Perhaps the land speculator. has them all in his hip pocket. s 5B Multiply this tax lossâ€"by the thouâ€"_â€"|â€" sands of otherâ€"industrial slums, vaâ€" cant lots, and soâ€"called farms throughout Metro and it is easy to see why the growth of Metro is slow and painful and why taxes for people who do build homes and factories are so terribly high. Tax bonuses for specuâ€" lators and penalties for legitimate builders are making Metro an imposâ€" sible. place for people to live and work. â€" The leaders of Ontario‘s three parâ€" ties are all aware of the coming deâ€" mise of Toronto. The best alternative they can offer is to turn their backs to it and mouth off: "Let‘s build elseâ€" where." The situation is almost identical in the suburbs. North York Controller Basil Hall earlier this year put his finger on the problem when he comâ€" plained that one wealthy industrialist pays $10,000 a year taxes on his strategically situated farm that would yield $300,000 to the borough if it was occupied by homeowners. Great areas of slum property in downtown Toronto are ripe for reâ€" development, but continue to drain the lifeblood from the city because the tax setup rewards those who speculate in land and penalizes those who build. family homes may again be built at $12,000 to $15,000 a unit, (the price of a residential lot today) land values must be assessed and taxed at full market value to eliminate speculative profits. At the same time, crippling taxes must be gradually reduced on homes and factories and other imâ€" provements. * s t automatics.
