Brad Bradford on Housing Supply","description":"For most listeners of the show, the housing crisis is a very prominent issue; affecting careers and finances. But it is actually a much bigger conversation for the entire population of the city. Today, we are bringing you a very special episode of the Sync or Swim Podcast: a live recorded interview with Brad Bradford from the Toronto Roadshow! Tuning in, you\u2019ll hear about Brad\u2019s assessment of Toronto\u2019s housing supply, the affordable housing crisis, the problems with old housing policies, and more! We delve into the political nature of housing in Toronto before discussing how to create a regulatory environment that incentivizes what the market needs (in this case, more rental units). Finally, Brad shares his opinion on the potential evolution of Toronto\u2019s housing market over the next five to 10 years. Thanks for listening in!    Key Points From This Episode:   Today\u2019s topic: a live recording from Toronto Roadshow with Brad Bradford.  Brad assesses Toronto\u2019s performance in terms of housing supply over the last few years.  How old policies are causing the breakdown of the housing market.  The disconnect in the industry between time and affordability.  Why the housing agenda is so politically charged.  The importance of defining what affordable housing actually is.  How to create an environment that incentivizes what the market needs most.  Brad shares how he sees the housing market in Toronto evolving over the next few years.    Quotes:   \u201cIt seems like the sort of story of the day here in Toronto is we do lots of press conferences about housing, but we don\u2019t actually do any housing, and I think that\u2019s a big problem.\u201d \u2014 @BradMBradford [0:06:02]   \u201cThe most affordable housing that we have is the housing that\u2019s already there. Nothing that you are building today or tomorrow is going to be more than what we already have.\u201d \u2014 @BradMBradford [0:27:45]   \u201cNow is the time to respond to the challenges in front of us with the type of bold leadership and action that recognizes the way forward is not the same way we\u2019ve been doing things.\u201d \u2014 @BradMBradford [0:41:41]   \u201cWe need to write a future together if that empowers partnership with the market with the private sector because it is your capital and your talent that is actually going to address the big challenges.\u201d \u2014 @BradMBradford [0:41:55]   Links Mentioned in Today\u2019s Episode:   Brad Bradford Brad Bradford on LinkedIn Brad Bradford on Instagram Brad Bradford on X Gabriel Diamond on LinkedIn Rentsync Sync or Swim Podcast Sync or Swim Email   ","author_name":"Sync or Swim: The Multifamily Growth Show","author_url":"https:\/\/www.rentsync.com\/resources\/podcast","html":"
