These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform. 01 ### Make life affordable His plan page says he would introduce property-tax discounts for first-time young buyers and for seniors who have owned in Toronto for decades, with relief of up to 25 percent for seniors who have contributed to Toronto’s tax base for 25 years. It also says he would freeze property-tax increases and work to lower utility costs.

[Adam Pham · Make life affordable ](https://adampham.ca/plan/make-life-affordable/) 02 ### Housing that fits His plan page says Parkdale-High Park needs low-rise and mid-rise buildings and no more high-rises. It says he would give tax breaks to small landlords who keep rent low, enforce standards already on the books through the City’s Municipal Licensing and Standards division, and improve repairs and cleanliness at Toronto Community Housing.

[Adam Pham · Housing that fits ](https://adampham.ca/plan/housing-that-fits/) 03 ### Bike lanes and High Park access His plan page says he would build separated bike lanes on suitable routes, bring Bloor Street West back to two lanes each way for traffic with alternative bike routes, and keep full car access to High Park alongside safe space for cyclists and pedestrians.
Read the full position The Local describes the same positions. No recorded vote is cited here.
[Adam Pham · Bike lanes done right ](https://adampham.ca/plan/bike-lanes-done-right/) 04 ### Policing, transit and the City budget His home page says police should move minor tasks to other agencies and use technology, that the TTC needs faster subway expansion and better maintenance and cleanliness, and that the City budget, which it says grew from 5 billion dollars in 2001 to 19 billion dollars in 2026, needs transparency and efficiency.
Read the full position The budget figures are the campaign’s own and voche.me did not check them against City budget documents.
[Adam Pham · home page ](https://adampham.ca/) [Adam Pham · About](https://adampham.ca/about.html) Research status ## What voche.me has checked Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, its Members of Council page and the Ward 4 Councillor profile, the home, About and three plan pages of his campaign website (affordability, housing, bike lanes), The Local’s Ward 4 candidate page and The Green Line’s Ward 4 guide. The sitting Ward 4 councillor is Gord Perks, listed on the City’s Members of Council page. He is not on the City’s list of certified candidates, and The Local and The Green Line report that he is not seeking re-election. Every statement taken from his campaign website is written as the campaign’s own account. Gaps. His plan pages on safer streets, transit and land and budget were not opened, so those topics rest on his home page. The Local also describes a 2018 campaign advertising item that it says made headlines. voche.me did not open a primary record for it, so it does not repeat it. The 2018 Progressive Conservative candidacy comes from The Local and was not checked against Elections Ontario. His degrees, business and years of experience come from his own site and LinkedIn as reported by The Local, and were not checked with a university or a registry. The questionnaire has not been sent.
