Mississauga city council voted down a proposal on Wednesday that would have allowed fourplexes across the city but it decided instead to ask staff to consult on the feasibility of the idea and report back.

In a tie vote, council defeated the motion moved by Ward 2 Coun. Alvin Tedjo and seconded by Ward 5 Coun. Carolyn Parrish. The motion, which aims to address what is widely referred to as the “missing middle” of housing availability, called on the city to allow four units “as of right” in Mississauga. A fourplex is a residential building with four separate dwelling units.

Seems like that’s about 61 storeys wasted. I don’t blame them!
