Not a Camping Trip

Toronto's mayoral by-election is on Monday. A *huge* issue is the lack of affordable housing in the city and how to address it. In the meantime, some people have resorted to camping out in public parks (a controversy I won't even touch). But here we are.

A very poignant photo Heather I hope there is a solution

They make their point, Affordable housing is a global issue.

A lovely shot of what looks like a peaceful sene. These issues are worldwide and only seems to be getting worse.

It’s the same the world over in big cities, a well captured social issue Heather:)

[John Falconer]

Well documented.

Nice as a camping site. Housing problems are all over the world and most governments are not capable of sorting them out.

Heather we have the same problem here. This looks a lot neater than the ones here

@bkbinthecity To be honest, Brian, this is probably too pretty of a scene. Many of the encampments are quite rough looking, including this one further on.

All my life this is, and has been, the biggest problem for our country. And I do n`t see a solution if nearest future too.

I feel for the youngsters starting out and looking for an affordable home nowadays. They will get noticed taking over the park I hope things improve but it will take time unfortunetly.

This is a serious problem that the rulers do not want to see. Although when they are in opposition, they are very concerned about it until they take over the government.

Good picture, big problem everywhere

[CC Folk]

It is much worse here...wish I knew the answer.

This photo and your description really tells a story Heather. A lack of affordable housing is a big issue here too as I’m sure it is in many countries. It’s inexcusable in 2023.
