Drug users pay taxes too, mate.

For real, have you seen the cost of a bottle of wine?

How do the shelters collect property tax from their clients?

Im not saying, but I'm just saying....name me a park that isn't an injection site.

The concentration of lost souls is a bit much, I agree and they should do more to fix that, but the sanctioned injection site was put there for good reason. As opposed to the poor reasoning behind cramming as many lost souls as possible into a small area.

We should put a supervised injection site in every park ...good suggestion....don't forget to tell the cops that they have no right to patrol the area since some people are scared of uniforms.

They don't. Your question also has nothing to do with my statement. So, let me ask you a question: what was your question?

Holy shit, you're on a roll. I reckon your reading comprehension could use some work though. Try reading what I wrote more slowly and carefully.
That way you can avoid coming up with meaning that isn't in the text you read.

Your response had nothing to do with my post. Sorry, I guess you responded to the wrong post.
Why not re-read it and respond, if you like

Aww, that's cute. When you have nothing, you attack the messenger.

Run along little incel...your anger is showing

I'll give you one thing, you sure are special, mate.


Learn to read, then come at me.

I did answer your question. How bad is your reading comprehension?

Mein Gott, get some sleep, or exercise....maybe a holiday. You're stagnating.

Doesn’t Sherbourne St. already have a higher portion of affordable and emergency housing than much of the city?

Berlin voted to seize homes from corporate landowners. Should Toronto do the same to make cheaper housing?

A referendum in the German city is fuelling an ongoing debate in Toronto about expropriating property for affordable housing.

I was driving eastbound on Sherbourne around 6pm today. At the red light on Dundas a guy leans on the hood of the car in front of us with his hand out, and will not move. My wife saw this as we approached so stopped the car well behind the red light. This is something we often do at this intersection, stopping short of the light to avoid the in-traffic beggars, insane and addicts. My question today was, where are the police? This corner is a mess, and deserves a cop on foot to keep the peace. I’m getting sick of the circus in downtown east.

Yep, that corner is a complete mess. Actually from there down to sherbourne and Queen…

I actively try to avoid that intersection while driving because there's always a high chance of some BS occurring. I'd rather go several blocks out of my way. Why there aren't regular cop patrols (on foot) in known problem areas is beyond me. We pay them lots of money for a reason.

I would say Dundas to Richmond/Adelaide. I recall the Timmies on Richmond and Sherbourne has a security guy in there every now and then. But Dundas/Sherbourne is fairly notorious intersection sadly.

I don't know why we issue Toronto Police with boots at all. Have you ever, even once this year seen a TPS officer who's not on paid duty (i.e. human traffic cone) on their feet, not in cars, not on bicycles or horses, but on their feet, walking a regular beat? If they're not going to leave their seats, they should be issued with Police Officer Moccasins

Get police walking the beat, not driving

If there was a beat cop at Sherbourne and Dundas they could enforce the SSA, where solicitation in traffic is against the law.

Which is a shame as it's an otherwise great separated bike path from Bloor to Queens Quay for going to the Island ferry. But if you take it you have to run the gauntlet of human jetsam from above Dundas until you reach below Adelaide.

What happened to this optimistic view from 2011?

Dundas-Sherbourne poised for a surprising rebirth

The downtown eastside may be the most crime-stricken area in Toronto, but experts say it’s on the brink of a transformation.
