Fourplex apartment buildings are a big part of Sault Ste. Marie’s plan to reach our housing target, but Ontario's Premier is no fourplex fan
Premier Doug Ford's antipathy to fourplexes as a solution to Ontario's housing shortage may not affect the city's decision last week to allow fourplex, fiveplex, even sixplex apartment buildings in neighbourhoods consisting largely of single-family detached dwellings.
"This should be the case because we are positioned to determine what works best in our community — a one-size-fits-all approach across Ontario won’t work," the mayor said. "The challenges in Sault Ste. Marie are different from what municipalities in southern Ontario are facing," the mayor said.
