As rental affordability deteriorates, it seems like Toronto is slowly inching towards the subdivided flats ("cage homes") issue that is facing Hong Kong.
Charging renters $900/month to share a queen size bed with you is insane.
Are we going to wait until we start seeing cage homes to get all 3 levels of government to build purpose-built rentals the region desperately needs?
