<blockquote><div class="quotetitle">Quote from <a class="profile-link highlight-admin" href="https://strongrh.ca/community/profile/strh-admin/">Editor</a> on April 20, 2026, 9:57 pm</div>We’re seeing more development proposals across Richmond Hill—but not everyone agrees they’re solving the right problems.
Are we:
<ul data-start="1305" data-end="1433">
<li data-section-id="pgfd95" data-start="1305" data-end="1342">building enough family-sized homes?</li>
<li data-section-id="gumf56" data-start="1343" data-end="1395">focusing too much on certain types of development?</li>
<li data-section-id="1niusc3" data-start="1396" data-end="1433">missing opportunities near transit?</li>
</ul>
Or is the bigger issue that we simply haven’t built enough, period?
Some say we need more density near transit. Others worry about traffic, neighbourhood character, and infrastructure keeping up. And for many, affordability is still the biggest concern.
So let’s talk about it:
<ul data-start="743" data-end="878">
<li data-section-id="119fa06" data-start="743" data-end="773">Where should new housing go?</li>
<li data-section-id="mpz8dw" data-start="774" data-end="819">What types of housing are missing (if any)?</li>
<li data-section-id="fizbz1" data-start="820" data-end="878">What concerns you most about current development trends?</li>
</ul>
Curious where people land on this—especially if you’ve been following local projects closely.
👇 What do you think we’re getting right (or wrong)?</blockquote>
