Mayor can’t afford to buy a house in her own town (kitchener.ctvnews.ca)

Time to loosen zoning restrictions and say no to NIMBYs Ms. Mayor. *

Despite earning around $90,000 a year between her work as mayor, regional councillor and with the local electric utility, she says she can’t afford to buy a home in the municipality she leads.

* yeah, she's still paying off student loans, and I don't know what zoning restrictions are like in her community. But still.

I'm guessing the next federal election will be on pocketbook issues. I don't know where home ownership will fit in there.
