As went our street, so goes Toronto. It's becoming a city of extremes. The middle class is disappearing, and the affluent and the poor are increasingly segregated by neighbourhood.
In Toronto, the child poverty rate is as high as 32 per cent.
Meantime, as real-estate prices soar, middle-income folks move out. From Toronto, they move to Ajax, Barrie, Guelph and anyplace where they can buy a house for less than $466,000 (the current Toronto average). Jobs have migrated, too. In Southern Ontario, the greatest job growth is outside Greater Toronto.
the real challenge is how to grow, promote and sustain the middle class. "Cities have been so dominated by promoting hip coolness that they haven't focused on creating good new blue-collar jobs."
Toronto's struggle to restore the middle ground will be long and hard. It will be the greatest challenge the city's leaders face in the coming generation.
亲眼目睹了toronto的变化,上面的这些说法完全是toronto 的真实写照。
Toronto is getting worse and worse.
Right-wing policies or Left-wing policies are to blame.?
