Solving Affordability with John Fox of Robins Appleby LLP

CRE Podcast · Solving Affordability with John Fox of Robins Appleby LLP
Aaron and Adam are speaking with John Fox, Partner at Robins Appleby LLP, in this episode. He has a long-standing relationship working with both public and private housing sectors on developing affordability.
 
Because of John’s expertise, today’s episode focuses on affordable housing in the Greater Toronto Area. The guys discuss the time John spent working with the TCHC, how COVID-19 has made an impact on affordable housing, and the challenge of finding appropriate land for development.
 
Additionally, Aaron and Adam are introducing a new segment today: the CRE Podcast Aftershow. This discussion follows the interview with John and gives our hosts the opportunity to reflect on topics that came up during the show. Check it out in all future episodes, too!
 
Topics covered include:
• John’s beginnings working in a law office.
• What drew John to work in affordability.
• Varying definitions of affordability across the real estate market.
• John’s time with the Toronto Community Housing Corporation.
• Partnerships between private and public housing to address affordability.
• Why there’s nothing better than supply.
• Advocating for future tenants in a given area.
• How government has encouraged the development of new supply.
• Inclusionary zoning and its obstacles.
• Finding land that allows for the building of affordable housing.
• The effects from COVID-19 on land prices in Toronto.
• Programs that developers are using to offset the loss of rent.
• The pandemic’s impact on non-profits up until now and going forward.
• Continued construction operations despite the economic downturn.
• What John would implement to make the world better from an affordability perspective.
