I think by doing that they keep away the "locals"

All the space along sentinal road is filled in with town houses so the "moat" on the south side is pretty much gone. I guess that infill will happen from the other directions as the university sells off land to build more "student space" so that our undergrads can protest without upsetting one another...Oh that's easily understood. Unfortunately, York, despite its vast size, is completely isolated - it isn't integrated into the urban fabric and doesn't interact with its surrounding neighbourhoods at all. Most of its campus is safely tucked away from the big, bad city right in the centre of the huge land it sits on bordered by Jane, Keele, Steeles, and Finch. It's ridiculous that its closest buildings of any consequence are a good 10 minute walk from the "outside", no matter which direction you're coming from. It's great that they keep expanding but they really need to start putting buildings along the main streets.
Actually, just 2 weeks ago I randomly decided to walk up George street ...
Crime in Toronto is concentrated around pockets of poverty often in clusters of certain apartment buildings, surrounded by middle class or wealthy housing which making most of these places seem completely normal. ...
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Regent Park yet. I've heard most of Toronto's drug dealers live in that area. Probably one of the poorest neighbourhoods too.

But from what I've been told most of North Scarborough is pretty crime-ridden. And Northern Etobicoke is pretty consistent with low income housing (from what I can tell).

Well the piece bounded by Parliament, Oak, Sackville and Dundas ... but that's only 1/6 of the area north of Dundas maybe 1/10 of the entire area.Regent Park is mostly a construction site at the moment.
I don't see why I would be more inclined to take your word over the people I've been hearing it from. It's all pretty relative as demonstrated below. But even internet sources say Regent Park is or has been know to experience a high rate of violent crime. So don't get snappy just because you think it's wrong.Seriously... who do you keep "hearing" these things from? I suggest that you stop listening to whomever it is because they clearly don't know what they're talking about.
