Born and raised in Toronto, I walk wherever I want. i've never had any confrontation. Many in the Sherbourne and Queen area live terrible lives of despair and uncertainty. That in a properly run society wouldn't be the reality it is. Toronto has always had its poor and downtrodden but drugs, mental illness and poverty are out of control. This is the result of politicians passing important issues down the road instead of dealing with them. This is what you get.
Just started the video, at 1:26, I was locked up for foster dad trying to kill me in my sleep in that y.o jail on the right side called 311 there in like 1999, and in like 2010 I fed a bunch of people at that shelter on the left and gave them some wool socks and gloves on Christmas day, was minus thirty or something that day.
I grew up in the Queen and Lansdowne Parkdale area of Toronto. People were sleeping on the streets. Working girls and drug dealers were out at night. Walking to school in the mornings, I'd have to walk around the sleeping homeless. Drug dealers would sell their stuff outside of a 24 hour 7-11 store. The owner installed hidden speakers outside and had country music playing all night. The drug dealers were never seen there after that. It was not a good place for a child to grow up.
I didn't watch the whole video. But I did live in a Max Meighen room, for about 4 years. I've found that the people in the Moss/Regent Parks area, who, for whatever reason, get in trouble. Are the ones looking for trouble. Usually. And, while walking west on Queen, Freddy's was completely cut out of the video. Why? (If you're looking for "super fiends", Freddy's is the place to go)
@@dixonpinfold2582 You walked south on Sherbourne. Then you turned right. "And, while WALKING WEST on Queen St., Freddy's was completely cut out of the video". (Fred Victor Centre, Queen&Jarvis) I did not write, you were walking on Queen West.
@@wardenwilson6725 I'll have a dyslexic moment every once in a while, often late at night. Yes, Fred Victor is really something else. I used to call it Fred Vanquished. Tons of human wreckage, but at least having a place to lose, at the last place in town that will take you except a shelter, keeps the worst excesses down.
@@johnh23z ya there is a homeless problem in van and toronto housing is too expensive and public housing is all filled up drugs are also way too accessible
Special constables in Toronto housing have the full authority to arrest and transport, they can even run names for warrants

We used to call the Special Constables at U of T "mickey mice".

Grab and chair and a camera and head to Sherbourne and Dundas...always something going on there.

Toronto doesn’t have anything near as bad as, say, Hastings in Vancouver. Or Philly’s Kensington.
