"The Town of Tecumseh will not allow fourplexes to be built in established neighbourhoods.

At its meeting Tuesday night, councillors voted 4-3 to reject a plan, introduced by Councillor Alicia Higgison, that would have permitted up to three additional housing units on properties with a minimum 18-metre frontage, and a minimum of 35 per cent of the lot area as landscaped open space."

"Last spring, the Town received $4.4 million in funding from the federal government's Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF). As part of the grant approval, the town agreed to allow fourplexes "as of right" in all residentially zoned properties. Of that funding, $3.2-million was tied to the allowance of fourplexes.

The rejection of the fourplex plan may put that $3.2-million at risk. The Town will now contact the Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation (CMHC) to inform it of council's decision, and await a response."

So if you can't get affordable housing in Tecumseh, blame "Councillors James Dorner, Rico Tonial, Tania Jobin, and Deputy Mayor Joe Bachetti" for voting against this. I hope they enjoy the character of Tecumseh as the next generation sleeps on their porches when they cannot afford housing. Voting against such housing measures AFTER accepting federal funding is just ridiculous. This is the peak of selfishness and blindly serving one's own interests. This will set Windsor backwards from being a competitive modern Canadian city.
