In late July, Lindsay Dworkin, a senior project manager at a medical tech company, received a text message from her downstairs neighbour. Their landlord, the neighbour said, was putting the home Dworkin lived in with her husband and two-year-old daughter up for sale. Her family would have to find a new place to live.
In a normal city, at a normal time, that wouldn’t have been a big deal. But in the Toronto of 2023 it was devastating. “I couldn’t function,” Dworkin said. “I had to get my parents to come over and take over child care duties.”
The Star’s solution is to turn Toronto into a giant slum! Well it’s already on its way there.
