Hey Toronto! City staff are developing a new by-law to curb "renovictions"—when you get evicted because the landlord claims they need to do renos—and for the next month, you can tell them what you think: https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/housing-shelter/rental-housing-tenant-information/understand-fight-evictions/renovictions-bylaw-development/

There's an online survey as well as a Zoom session and in-person events.

Just 13 short years after inviting #BoulderCouncil candidates over to the Masala Co-op for tea and cakes to discuss repealing occupancy limits that discriminate against unrelated people, and 28 years after Cedar Barstow got busted for living in an intentional community in her own home and was sentenced to community service, which she used to help found the Boulder Housing Coalition.

The first speaker, Cedar Barstow, has worked on this issue for 27 years. In the 1990s she was caught living overoccupied and sentenced to community service (after having to kick out her housemates).

She used her community service hours to help start the Boulder Housing Coalition, a non-profit #cooperative #housing developer.
