London, Ont. Resident Satisfaction Survey shows drop from 2021, city hall reports
The recorded five percentage-point drop from last year’s survey comes as an additional report, prepared by Watson and Associates Economists, forecasts a significant rise in incoming residents within the next 30 years, estimating a population jump to 650,000 by 2051.
Referencing the population report, Morgan said the pressure on housing affordability and availability is “not going anywhere.” “It’s really important for us to recognize that we have to get housing affordability under control with other levels of government to ensure that Londoners can afford a good quality of life in our city,” he said.
“We do have robust municipal processes that manage this,” he said. “I think that the growth numbers in the survey that we will use for the basis of our decision-making are probably on the low end of where the growth will be, or at least lower than where we probably end up landing.The 2022 Resident Satisfaction Survey is set to go before the strategic priorities and policy committee on Monday at 4 p.m.
