Would $10k Make You Feel Better About Having To Move?
March 3, 2026 1:47 pmAs councillors are set to debate a proposed high-rise near the intersection of Ridout and Kent – people who would have to move for the building to be constructed are set to receive a big offer.
York Developments has offered the potentially soon to be displaced tenants $10,000 for their move if they get the go ahead to build a 30-storey, 500+ unit tower on the property.
London Deputy Mayor Shawn Lewis joined Craig on the podcast to talk about that development – and councillors taking campaign donations from builders in the city.
Does that create a conflict of interest?
