Yes to the City: Millennials and the Fight for Affordable Housing

This is an evening talk with Dr. Max Holleran (University of Melbourne) about the growing Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) housing movement in North America. Join us for a fun and thought-provoking conversation about YIMBYs, and the causes – and solutions – to the current affordable housing crisis in Toronto and beyond.
