467 and 469 Spadina Road. Formerly 17 affordable and mid-range two-bedroom apartments. Vacated in 2006. Neighbours objected to a 2013 proposal to renovate the interior to accommodate 31 units - concerns included the proposed tenure of the units (rental). Still boarded up in 2023.
putting blocks down and picking them up. that's the job of the city.

Hello please read through this thread and especially the call to action at the end. Evicting encampments as winter sets in without any reasonable and humane alternative is violent and lethal. We should be ashamed of our representatives and hold them to account.

Hello. On Saturday, November 24, 2023, from roughly 9:30 am to 11:30 pm, the City of Toronto moved forward with a plan to evict residents from the encampment in the yard at the Church of St. Stephen-in-the-Fields. The day was long and brutal. We have some thoughts. 🧵
nice work @MayorOliviaChow in turning a church and last refuge into a monument of hostile architecture. progressive.
My daughter is getting evicted. Today she looked at a studio apt. with a mini fridge & no stove (it’s not up to code for a stove) $1600 a month plus utilities. And no one is doing a fucking thing about it.
Dianne Saxe cycled past the church and gave us a dirty look again today. This is now our entire relationship with our city councillor.
Important: There have been no mass #encampment evictions in @cityoftoronto since 2021 — until now. The eviction happening tomorrow morning is in @DianneSaxe's ward, and she is absolutely its architect. Hold her to account!

Okay... one more. Sale price of this home in #ldnont (London, ON, Canada) by year: 2005: $257,500 2010: $275,000 2016: $428,000 2022: $1,080,000
You can still buy these small starter homes. Here's one in London, Ontario, Canada. $700,000. The issue isn't "kids today" wanting too much. It's that these homes literally cost 5 times what they did 20 years ago.
Kids today wonder how our parents were able to survive with one paycheck. This is exactly how it was done. See the size of this house. This was normal when I was growing up. No 5 bedroom homes with 5 baths. Living and buying within your means. Starter homes.
Happy anniversary to this special weirdo, i.e., my partner Sachin, who is my favourite person in the world. Here's to year four together and to our inevitable future as broke Millennials living in a dumpster in the post-apocalyptic world of 2040. Love you.

@creiglamb Concerned more about the health of the trees than the encampment residents.. omg!!
Hello. On Saturday, November 24, 2023, from roughly 9:30 am to 11:30 pm, the City of Toronto moved forward with a plan to evict residents from the encampment in the yard at the Church of St. Stephen-in-the-Fields. The day was long and brutal. We have some thoughts. 🧵
If churches can't perform charity according to the government, why do religious institutions have tax free status?
nice work @MayorOliviaChow in turning a church and last refuge into a monument of hostile architecture. progressive.
@creiglamb @MayorOliviaChow Toronto caters only to the rich.
@creiglamb @nejsnave @MayorOliviaChow Jerks. I’d just put a tent on top of it and thank them for building me a floor.
I voted for @chloebrown4TO I have not regretted this. Olivia Chow was never going to be the progressive mayor many of you who voted for her dreamed of.

DYK that the pervasive 'white cube' aesthetic of modern gallery space was created in the 1930s by NY curator Alfred Barr? Meant to invoke 'platonic' or transcendental space, its design ultimately erases the political/historical/social context of artifacts — including colonialism.
@dgrdon What progressive thing has Olivia Chow done yet?
@MayorOliviaChow Indigenous people are at far greater risk of homelessness. Stop clearing encampments
@lorrainelamchop Must be nice to work from home in Forest Hill while you evict unhoused people.
Important: There have been no mass #encampment evictions in @cityoftoronto since 2021 — until now. The eviction happening tomorrow morning is in @DianneSaxe's ward, and she is absolutely its architect. Hold her to account!
What is really imperative at this time is to hold Saxe to account for these actions; it is only HER ward where there has been mass organized evictions since 2021. Call her office, email, and let her know that you do NOT approve of displacing encampment residents w nowhere to go.
@MayorOliviaChow @JoshMatlow You win the award for disappointment of the year
@MayorOliviaChow is it too late to revoke my vote for you
