Toronto is often accused of being over-regulated. It’s a fair criticism.<\/p>\n
For example, photographer and urbanist commentator Dan Seljak<\/a> tells us how he stumbled upon the small Finch Store selling espresso, fighting to stay open in the face of City zoning laws.<\/p>\n For more of the story, and how Finch Store was granted a reprieve, we speak to local City Councillor Alejandra Bravo<\/a>.<\/p>\n And we speak to Councillor Gord Perks<\/a>, chair of the Planning and Housing Committee, about why Toronto works on complaints-based bylaw enforcement, and how we can improve the system for small businesses, special events, and more.<\/p>\n Subscribe to the podcast on\u00a0Apple Podcasts<\/a>,\u00a0Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0Google Play<\/a>, or\u00a0SoundCloud<\/a>, or follow our\u00a0RSS feed<\/a>.<\/p>\n
