On January 29, 2024, Kitchener Planning Staff proposed to increase the density of housing and require some affordable housing around seven ION light-rail stops. Many property owners and developers objected. Council expressed substantial reservations. An opportunity to produce 800+ affordable homes over the next 10 years is at risk. If Kitchener refuses to require some affordable housing, other municipalities in the Region of Waterloo and throughout Ontario may do so as well.
