Split on housing
“We need more housing options for more people in more neighbourhoods. Sixplexes are part of that future.”
“Surging home prices and rents have created an affordability crisis. It's harder than ever to find an affordable place to live in Toronto. Our city must act.”
Bradford's Instagram record on safety and crime is extensive and centers on a recurring theme that Toronto "feels less safe." Bradford ties this to specific files: TTC safety (motion to place officers in all subway stations, improve lighting/cleanliness, build platform edge doors), encampments near schools/daycares/playgrounds (a 200m/48-hour clearance proposal), bubble zones around places of worship, schools, and daycares (advocacy from 2024 through passage in May 2025), gun violence ("no bail, go to jail"), and youth violence prevention via community partnerships. Bradford also pushed motorized watercraft restrictions at Woodbine Beach, jet ski licensing, road safety/Vision Zero measures, school safety zones, automated speed enforcement, and Bail Compliance Units inside Toronto Police.
