Liberal-voting Toronto has a significantly large homeless population (this irony of Liberal cities always gets me). At least 9,200 that the government knows about. I'm sure it's actually way more. I find it hard to believe that only just over 0.3% of Toronto is homeless. I understand why the NIMBYs over at Mount Pleasant/Eglinton don't want them moving into a hotel. It's very expensive to have people stay in a hotel. However the NIMBYs who resist construction of affordable housing at every turn because they don't want the poor living near them are a big part of the reason why homelessness is rampant in Toronto in the first place.
Toronto has a housing shortage. NIMBYs want the homeless to stay homeless because they are worried that more housing would devalue their homes because they treat their home like a gambling chip and expect it to keep going up in value. And you literally have real estate speculators who treat their second+ home like a casino. They just let it sit vacant because they see it as a way to make money rather than a place to live in. Our government also imports tons of cheap brown slave labour to serve white liberal yuppies in Toronto. Brampton is literally a suburb city full of cheap brown slave labour to serve Toronto's wealthy elite.
It amazes me how many NIMBYs live in a Liberal/NDP-voting city like Toronto. My sister votes Liberal, lives downtown and is a huge snob. When some Conservatives openly share their contempt for the poor and homeless, it doesn't shock me. It's disgusting when Liberals pay lip service to the poor and then undermine them privately.

Based.
Also we must consider the outflows on other communities.
