Fuck Farhi
London's biggest slumlord is hoarding our city. It's time to fight back.
The Problem
59%
of downtown vacant commercial space owned by Farhi
31.4%
London's office vacancy rate — highest in Canada
10,000+
acres controlled by Farhi across Ontario
25%
increase in London homelessness (2022-2024)
While Shmuel Farhi sits on thousands of empty properties waiting for land values to rise, Londoners are sleeping on the streets. Property hoarding isn't just bad business — it's a weapon against our community.
Use It or Lose It
We demand an end to property hoarding. Vacant buildings must be taxed heavily, occupied within mandatory timelines, or expropriated for social housing.
"Empty buildings while people sleep outside is a policy choice. We can make a different choice."
Our Demands:
- Aggressive vacant property taxes that escalate yearly
- Mandatory occupancy timelines with real enforcement
- Expropriation of chronically vacant properties for social housing
- Transparency on all property holdings by major landlords
Take Action
