Chris Spoke, Co-Founder of Housing Matters, joins us this week on the Morrison Report. Housing Matters is a community of urbanists, activists, and others working towards a growing dynamic and affordable Toronto. This episode dives into the Housing Matters initiative, 'Yes In My Backyard' (YIMBY), a departure from the 'Not In My Backyard' (NIMBY) movement.

• How the 'Not in My Backyard' (NIMBY) movement affects Chris
• Is NIMBY only a concern for millennials?
• The reception of the Housing Matters organization
• How large of a movement Chris feels they have
• Do YIMBY groups exist elsewhere in North America? Do they have any connection to those groups?
• What Chris has to say to those critics who feel that millennials should stop spending their money on Starbucks and Avocado Toast
• What Chris would you like to see the leaders of our city do to increase the supply of housing
• Can the millennials get the support of their boomer parents on this to impact more changes?
