The Moss Park area is easily considered one the most “dangerous” areas in Toronto, due to the countless stabbings from because of the high density violent homeless drug addicts, who might try to stab you, which results in Moss Park having one of the highest assault rates in the city. Oh and on top of that, shootings are pretty frequent in the area due to the amount of gangs that reside in the area, which resulted in Moss Park seeing 7 murders in the area giving it a homicide rate of 31.52 per 100,000 people in 2023.
Since everything is so expensive there it's always confused me about where the poor people live. Toronto is very strange because unlike Chicago (which I feel is a good city to compare it to) where the bad areas are super noticeable Toronto is way more low key as a visitor. I did get Chicago vibes when I was on Jane and Finch though and even thought to myself "oh hey I'm in a bad area!"
I remember working at the old Wellesley and Princess Margaret Hospitals back in the day and I would walk those streets every day during my breaks and back then it was super sketchy with rubbies, druggies, hookers......lots and lots of hookers roaming around. Sometimes there would be shootings near by and we were locked down. St. James Town complex was also shady back then. I haven't been in that area in 20 years. I wonder what the night walks would be like now.
Hey I recognize that face. Though now you have a beard, and your hair seems to be missing unlike before. But you know what else is missing? You still owe me 2 dollars, WHERE'S MY 2 DOLLARS!!
It's not a great video. He lazily leaned out his car window after pressing record & is no hoping for clicks off the exploitation of anyone caught in his lazy, creativity-devoid sights. Boo to Tuff Tours. What a dolt!
Welsley, Church, Sherbourne, that whole area of blocks is completely grimey I did deliveries in that area for years. Fun fact Kenny Vs Spenny was filmed very close to where your video started. 288 Sherbourne.
Yes your right but it’s still a joke no punishment no places for people to live he’s a joke bro he’s wrecked Canada as we once knew it It’s gonna take years I mean years to get it back he sure was a teacher alright
I would disagree. America has a stronger and richer middle class than Canada and always has. Your comment must be an exaggeration, but I understand your sentiment.
@@TurfToursCanada the US has a lot more poverty, and greater extremes in poverty conditions. This neighbourhood has nothing on the slums I've seen in the US in and around several major cities. The US has a strong middle class that's been eroding since the turn of the century, and there's far more people at the bottom.
regent, moss park n cabbagetown ain rlly bad no more housing rates r high n the government moved a lotta the people in public housing cus gentrification 🤷🏾♂️
@@michaelrustom6952 yea nowadays the housing rate over there is high it’s not rlly that bad rich people started moving in. It’s still a hotspot 4 trappin tho
It's pretty similar to some area's I've seen in the United States. Especially George Street and the Moss Park housing projects, not as bad as what I saw, but certainly not Disneyland.

Poor people rent and live in subsidized housing. They don't typically own those houses, they rent from them.
@@TurfToursCanada but rents are so absurd how do they afford them?

The fact I knew exactly where this was 1 second into the video is hilarious
Crazy man, I couldn't imagine living down there. The people seem so isolated from each other, yet living right next to each other.
You have your good old drama teacher to thank for this.
You're wrong. Cities are funded mostly by the province, municipal property taxes and other fees. Nothing to do with the federal government..

Ps we sure know who voted for the teacher now don’t we
It was a posh area in the 1930s.
So was Parkdale!
Let's just say that canadas version of a bad neighborhood
is americas version of a good one.
It's true. I didn't see what a really bad hood looked like until I visited the US.

@@meowcula true this is nothing compared to Kensington in philly
@@walkdownj4575 I'm very sure.
The houses shown there are still over a million
The owners do not live there, however. They are either slum lords or low income rentals.
I would not live there if I was offered a million.
😂
@@PunchBuggyDreamslol me too not even a billion
Not as bad as Philly tho!

The more Liberal society gets the more of this you will get.
What’s the location
@@njgirl1122 Sherbourne & Dundas Toronto (Regent Park area)
How come you wrote worse neigborhood? Houses look awesome!
It's very well known as one of the worst neighborhoods in Toronto. It's not commonly disputed.
The houses are gutted with land lords running multiple illegal rental rooms in each house. City has a shortage on housing so they look the other way.
Not really? You serious?
Vancouver's DTES (Downtown East Side) looks far worse.
Compared to America it's Disneyland.
It's pretty similar to some area's I've seen in the United States. Especially George Street and the Moss Park housing projects, not as bad as what I saw, but certainly not Disneyland.
I've seen some areas in Columbus, OH and Chicago that is very similar to these streets. Crazy similar.
I was just going to say Ohio and parts of Chicago. Unfucking real.@@PunchBuggyDreams
I don't think he literally meant Disneyland @@TurfToursCanada
Compared to the Prairies, America is Disneyland.
Fence companies made a mint in this place.
🤣🤣🤣
Most of Scarborough is quite bad....
Really a cowardly tour from the car...
Really a cowardly comment from the moldy basement couch...
