Long post, but he’s referring to the “pre-application” applications… its a Kafkaesque situation nearly every Ontario municipality did to avoid complying with approval timeline legislation.
Long thread, but if you're into the nuances of the housing development application process in Ontario, you'll want to read this. Here is the simplest explanation about what's behind Mayor Chow's claim about "80% timeline improvements". I want you to imagine a scenario where the.

Why did Toronto put a cap on the number of bedrooms any multiplex can have? Because barely 2 per cent of 222 applications it reviewed appeared to be rooming-house-like

I mean. it's a pretty anti-social act to revoke organ donor status because you don't want Boomers to take anything else from your literal corpse; but if this was a real trend it would say a lot more about how frayed our social bonds have become overall.
haha. revolt against the boomers. "You've hoarded houses and voted for policies that make them unaffordable. we'll hoard our healthy organs. GFY". Thoughts?
