It's definitely gotten worse. Remember, in the past a milk man on a single salary could afford a detached home and raise a family. This was a basic job. Now compare that to people having two jobs / incomes and can't afford rent half the time.
Higher borrowing for businesses passes on those costs to consumers... Landlords are "businesses" that owe and have raise rents to pay their borrowing costs... And everyone wants to be a landlord and just shuffle money around. Time for those to get real jobs.
"higher property tax = higher rent" is about as reductive of an argument as you could make.....there are a hundred things that factor into rent-prices & a substantial-number of them carry a lot more weight (like the actual market-value of an abode, which should be obvious-enough as to why)
@dbmuir8683 there are other factors that make up the price of rent, taxes are a huge part. Taxes are the minimum bar of where rent should. You lower the minimum bar you lower the total price
@@kaizersouza1562 It is so weird to me that they added so much a certain culture to Canada. It is obvious that this creates disruptions. Now what?

What's the common denominator across all residents, is that we all have less time in the day vs last year. The common theme, it's taking us longer to get anywhere in the city. There's only so much happiness one can achieve within a 3km radius of where you live. We all lost time in our day. Less time = less free time = lower happiness
It's because our taxes are being sent to help foreigners and immigrants. We need to unite and protest the government start using our taxes to help us or we need to stop paying taxes
You forget that immigrants pay taxes too , ask the CRA ,they might even pay more because they have to buy houses and all the new items that go with it , they might even have to hire workers to help them running the household etc. meanwhile older citizens here dont buy things because they already have everything they need , so think again as who keep the economy going here 😮

Haven't felt anything but more consumer costs... From "businesses" having their borrowing costs raised and passing their costs to their consumers. If the business is so profitable why are you borrowing the operating costs?
Cuz liberals raise taxes on the wealthy. While the conservatives fear monger about that tax increase. Meanwhile "businesses" just pass on any increases to the consumer... Aka those renting (consumer) from landlords (the "business")
50% of Torontonians are unsatisfied with their quality of life while at least the other half - temporary Torontonians - don't complain about it at all.
Something changed July 12, 2023….. what was it? Hmmm, oh yeah…Toronto got a new mayor. 😂 And according to the survey, nobody is asking to change Dundas St or Yonge/Dundas Sq. 😂
quality of life has reversed relationship with traffic jam. the bike lane is good for bikers but has made driving downtown a nightmare for truckers, ambulance and ordinary drivers.
The reporter's upbeat attitude is in stark contrast to the news being reported. I am sure quality of life has worsened for more than half of Torontonians.

@@TentaclePentacle so will I see a reduction in rent prices with reduced taxes or what? Landlords are a business... Why would they give me the consumer a break when they can just pocket more profit?
It takes more than a year to mess up a city. This started 6 years ago with the Conservatives and Doug Ford, and he was also close with John Tory. Chow has been undoing their damage this year.

@mravka9 ya when I speak of Tornto I usually speak about the downtown core. That is where the toxic people are. How much of the downtown core vote for the right? And it just gets worse looking at it at the federal level. Because the Liberal say they will help the poor and save the planet. At the same time their new environmental associated company get these massive grants. AKA the green slush fund.
Everyone wants all the stuff....new bike lanes, better washrooms, more garbage containers etc etc etc but will cry like little babies when taxes go up to pay for it or we run a deficit. Nothing makes whiny babies happy.
we're not "feeling a little bit of discomfort", we're watching our country fall apart in real time

They got rid of the milk man. This was before Trudeau, but If Trudeau increased immigration so high, we need more milkmen.
The other half are "temporary" workers and international "students" here for resident status
Or people exploiting them
Agreed
Quality of life isn't affected by city services, they are affected by city taxes. Higher property tax = higher rent = lower quality of life

July 12, 2023 to be exact.

why did i never get this poll
That isnt how polls work. A poll works by taking a random number of people and then asking them the question, not actually every person.

Just get 5 remote jobs and outsource them. Pay peanuts for the job you get hundreds for and pocket the profits.

Affordability is not something municipalities can do a lot about imo.
They can lower property tax and thus lower rent all across the city
@ rent is driven by what the market can bear, not property taxes. Toronto property taxes are the lowest in the region.
10% property tax hike is something the municipality can control.
@@pspat101 are kidding lol Toronto have the highest property tax in Ontario. Higher taxes means higher rent
