π¨π¦ What Toronto Looked Like Before It Became UNLIVABLE
In 1971, a TTC bus driver bought a brick semi on Carlaw Avenue for $27,000. Three and a half years of his salary. That same house lists today for $1.2 million.
This video goes back to the Toronto that working people could actually afford β the red streetcars on Queen, the Silver Rail on Yonge, the Leafs at the Gardens for a dollar seventy-five. And it follows exactly what changed, when, and why the city that Frank Rossi built is no longer the city his grandson can live in.
