Lol, ya think? They never even been here or if they have it was on one of those double decker bus tours....this is 20 mins of my life ill never get back

It was a nice, busy, lots of trees, good schools, safe to walk at night neighborhood... Tons of people walking their dogs at night, lots of joggers, athletic area, alot of sporting good stores and start point for marathons. Lots of great restaurants and shops. Tons of Range Rovers lol. Great place to live for a few years!
Please tell me; did any of you actually ever visit Toronto? I have a feeling I know what the answer is... "Formerly dangerous areas". Dangerous compared to what??! Slum? Jeez; St James Town is NOT a slum. Click bait.

@@marromorrison I should point out that Toronto has at 140 neighbourhoods officially and at least 240 unofficially . So this is a small percentage of them.

@@marfrm302 Half of them? Really? Which half? Regent Park has changed. It's full of condos now. Also, Alexandra Park is way different than it used to be when I worked there 20 years ago.
Help us out: what did you not like about the video? Also, the ability of our Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants to provide services to both prospective and current Canadian immigrants has nothing to do with the quality (of lack thereof) of our "Top 10" type UA-cam videos.
There are well over 150 neighbourhoods in Toronto. These were the 29 we thought were the worst for new immigrants when we wrote the article this video is based on. Things have changed, though!
Immigroup Inc This video was great! Thanks immigroup! My family is considering moving to the area close to the Bridle Path on the ravine. Would you recommend this area? Is the crime rate low in this area?
Immigroup Inc right but you do know some of them are better and some are worse for instance bridle path is good if your rich flemingdon park is better if your lower then average .
Which places are moderate and safe for girls students near to Fanshawe college, reasonable rent and safe place and to find houses close to the college and shops
Bridal Path and Yonge @ Eglington are bad area's, ROFLMAO!! Maybe it would be nice if people came to Canada with money to appreciate the best that Toronto has to offer, instead of shitting on the best communities and places in Toronto. This is like saying Beverly Hills is terrible or 5th Avenue is terrible just because it's expensive. NEWS FLASH!! Canada is one of the most expensive Countries in the World to live in, and Toronto's one of the most expensive cities in Canada.
The Bridal Path is nothing but mansions. How is it a good neighbourhood? It doesn't even have sidewalks in some places. (At least it didn't the last time I was there.)
If I had a 10Million dollar home, I wouldn't want people walking and letting their dog shit on my lawn; like I said these are Area's for the rich. I'm sure that our new Chinese and Japanese neighbor's aren't complaining about lack of sidewalks in front of their homes on Bridal path. Not all people who immigrate to Canada, are poor. Some new citizens actual can afford the nicer things in Toronto, just because you don't find them accessible and affordable doesn't make them bad area's. I say Chinese and Japanese because it's common knowledge that many Chinese and Japanese Millionaire's are moving to Canada and Toronto specifically, and you know they're not buying housing in Parkdale.
I don't think your wrong, I just think you don't know Toronto very well, maybe I'm wrong. Most area's are 5-10min walk to all the amenities you need, and the area's that aren't walking accessible; the majority of people in those area's [Mississauga/Etobicoke/Scarborough/Bridal Path..ect Can afford and do have car's. So they also have accessibility to the services they need because they drive, so what your talking about is people at or below the poverty line; not having access to services because they can't get around in a rich neighborhood. No sweat, because it's not a problem. If you can't afford to get around in the neighborhood, then you probably can't afford to live there. Rich Area's aren't bad because a bus doesn't stop in front of a mansion, what would be the point!! We don't need to build a subway station at every major intersection like in New York City, and if that's what your trying to recommend to people. Then your recommending the wrong city. This is Toronto, not New York City. If I was recommending an area's to people that are coming from another country, I would first want to know what country there coming from and what their finances are; do they have school aged children. So If your say Polish, then High Park would be the Area for you. It's a Polish community, and Roncesvalles Ave; has all the Amenities you need including shops that make traditional polish foods. Plus the add bonus of Schools for your children, in a quiet low crime community; and one of Toronto's largest parks is few just minutes walk away; that's just icing on the cake. To just look at Public transit issues and crime statistics is a terrible way to recommend a place to live. Your just white washing rich or poor, and Toronto doesn't have Ghetto's. So attacking Bridal path and Yonge/Eglington, just looks like envy and jealously, very un-Canadian. The rich and poor, go to school together; they stand in line together at the hospital; and they even live on the same street most of the time. Unless your incredibly rich, then you might find you have the luxury of living on Bridal path. It's not a bad thing.!!
Um, I don't quit know how to respond to this. For one thing, I live in Toronto, and I was born here, so I know it pretty well. The author of the article the video is based on lived in Toronto at the time he wrote it, too. This is a video about neighbourhoods in Toronto in relation to other neighbourhoods in Toronto (not in places around Toronto, like Mississauga, nor in other cities). We made a video for immigrants in general, not specific people from specific places. You're welcome to disagree with us, but I don't think we're trying to make Toronto sound like New York, or whatever it is you're accusing us of, and I don't know how we're "white washing," as this video focuses on what's wrong with these neighbourhoods (or, rather, what WAS wrong with them a few years ago).
I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherland, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. Canadian and Canada Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Korea. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian, Indonesian, or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beaches in Canada. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country.
People like You maybe ,immigrants ,they don't like to live clean and to care about that all around them.They live like in India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,etc...,where hygiena is an unknown to mist of the people.
@@MrHeavyrock .Hello, my friend, I am an immigrant from a third-world country called Iran. In my country, there is cleanliness and hygiene, a 6000-year-old culture. I do not have information about the culture of the people of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, but I know that immigrants try to respect the culture and laws of the host country. Many immigrants live in the United States - Germany - France - England - Holland - Italy, and Sweden, but those countries are really clean. I collaborated with an NGO in Vancouver in 2020 for the cause of abandoned waste in the city. The dirtiest areas of Vancouver were Downtown - East Hastings - Victoria Drive - Commercial Drive - Main Street and East Broadway. With the lowest amount of immigrants and the highest Canadian population.
23:01- wherever this is, it is NOT within at least 100 kms from Maple Leaf/Rustic. Aside from everything else wrong about it, just look at the terrain! This is one of the worst videos I've ever seen.
I have no idea where that picture is or why it's in our video but it could definitely be in Ontario (see the green sign, which is the right colour). You're right, it's not Maple Leaf. Can't get good help these days.
I don't think this person know what she is talking about. She sounds like she is from Britain with a English accent. She need to visit the neighborhood herself by walking around and see for herself. You are very inaccurate in your description. You are very insulting.
All these Regent Park video's. Regent Park has mostly been torn down, and townhouse's and condo's were built. Most of Regent Parks bad name came from the 1980's during the crack epidemic. Regent Park in no way, shape; or form is Toronto's worst nor poorest neighborhood and since last year 50% is gone!! I told people to buy house's in Cabbage town like 5years ago, that's the area just North of Regent Park. My sister is a realtor and my cousin was smart enough to jump at a house in Cabbage town before the Condos went up. Many of those house's are worth 50%-100% what they were 5years ago, bad neighborhood = Great investment.
This video was posted in November 2016. It was written before that. Things that have happened since are not reflected int the video. Regent Park is indeed changing drastically right now.
Yah, and if you don't update your video; how're people suppose to know that changes have been made and that your video no longer is relevant on things like Regent Park.
For one thing, they can look at "Published on Nov 9, 2016" right below the video, but I take your point. We have been thinking about updating this for a long time, but I don't know when will get to it.
So they took an article and used a software to put a woman's voice to it. I've read this article long back somewhere. The pee stairs reference reminded me that.
I have to say the worst places to live in Toronto are Islington/dixon rd, eastern Ave, queen East, Dunn Street,queen west, keele street/finch bloor street/young and st. Clair/keele street
Here is the official version: www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=100c861b9fdb1410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD and here's a wikipedia article which may or may not be more useful: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_neighbourhoods_in_Toronto
Nobody. Just the millions of people who live here already and approximately 50% of all new immigrants to this country (though that is increasing). But you're right to some extent, Toronto loses approximately 20,000 people to internal migration. So somebody doesn't want to live here. www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/91-209-x/2016001/article/14650/t/tbl03-eng.htm
Regent Park was not so much dangerous as it was pathetic, at least 15 years ago anyway. Lots of welfare dependency, broken or single-parent families, poverty, general hopelessness, etc.
Flemingdon park is not so bad I know people who live there and they say it’s ok there are shooting but it’s not that bad as it looks it’s nothing comparable to Detroit . Only has 1 minor problem is that the household income there is like 5 percent less then the averagw in Toronto and the schools as mentioned has the problem also .
Person watching this buys a cheap townhome in Jamestown... the real Jamestown (John Garland). Gets shot while moving in... but it's not on the list! SMFH!
St James Town? It's #2 on the list. Also, on a personal note, I worked basically across the street from St. James Town for a couple of years. Never had any issues.
The revitalization is painful but necessary . They forcibly moved my dad out of Regent after 30yrs to the "Somali Jane Strip"...he was against it, but personally i love that i don't have to choose between climbing the staircase-turned-brothel or taking the human feces encrusted art installation of an elevator to just visit him. My worst childhood memories are from staying with my dad at Shuter-Regent....and I'm from Kipling-Rex! lol

That why i moved to Kingston Ontario less crime and not much gangs nothing like Toronto kingston is way more safe then Toronto
Kingston is currently 118th. Toronto is currently 124th. www.macleans.ca/canadas-most-dangerous-places/
JRH in K Town isnt living in a small town like kingston boring & harder to meet people?
Kings the is borrrriinngg
Flemingdon is fun lady, u can meet so many people over there and u can get whatever u need, all the gangs have been cleared out and there is only one high school in that area so u have some false information lady,before doing ur research actually come and visit the place before u start picking on it.
The video is old
Immigroup Inc and?? U can take the video down and u wouldn’t get this hate
@@pareiei Thanks for the advice.
This video makes me afraid to move to Toronto 😂😂😂😂
Really?
Immigroup Inc absolutely not, 2020 I’m moving there 😂😂😂😂
@@marromorrison I should point out that Toronto has at 140 neighbourhoods officially and at least 240 unofficially . So this is a small percentage of them.
Half the neighborhoods on the list are not accurate but Jane-Finch Alexsandera Park,Regant Park And Dixon Road avoid those places and you will be all good🙂
@@marfrm302 Half of them? Really? Which half?
Regent Park has changed. It's full of condos now.
Also, Alexandra Park is way different than it used to be when I worked there 20 years ago.
Lame.....Lame.....Lame.......Immigroup? Stay away from these guys new immigrants!
Help us out: what did you not like about the video?
Also, the ability of our Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants to provide services to both prospective and current Canadian immigrants has nothing to do with the quality (of lack thereof) of our "Top 10" type UA-cam videos.
Can you specify "WORST NEIGHBORHOODS"
There are well over 150 neighbourhoods in Toronto. These were the 29 we thought were the worst for new immigrants when we wrote the article this video is based on. Things have changed, though!
Immigroup Inc This video was great! Thanks immigroup! My family is considering moving to the area close to the Bridle Path on the ravine. Would you recommend this area? Is the crime rate low in this area?
Immigroup Inc right but you do know some of them are better and some are worse for instance bridle path is good if your rich flemingdon park is better if your lower then average .
i live in york mills, love it!
Which places are moderate and safe for girls students near to Fanshawe college, reasonable rent and safe place and to find houses close to the college and shops
Bridal Path and Yonge @ Eglington are bad area's, ROFLMAO!! Maybe it would be nice if people came to Canada with money to appreciate the best that Toronto has to offer, instead of shitting on the best communities and places in Toronto. This is like saying Beverly Hills is terrible or 5th Avenue is terrible just because it's expensive. NEWS FLASH!! Canada is one of the most expensive Countries in the World to live in, and Toronto's one of the most expensive cities in Canada.
The Bridal Path is nothing but mansions. How is it a good neighbourhood? It doesn't even have sidewalks in some places. (At least it didn't the last time I was there.)
If I had a 10Million dollar home, I wouldn't want people walking and letting their dog shit on my lawn; like I said these are Area's for the rich. I'm sure that our new Chinese and Japanese neighbor's aren't complaining about lack of sidewalks in front of their homes on Bridal path. Not all people who immigrate to Canada, are poor. Some new citizens actual can afford the nicer things in Toronto, just because you don't find them accessible and affordable doesn't make them bad area's. I say Chinese and Japanese because it's common knowledge that many Chinese and Japanese Millionaire's are moving to Canada and Toronto specifically, and you know they're not buying housing in Parkdale.
I think the vast majority of people, not just new immigrants, would like to live somewhere with services. Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't think your wrong, I just think you don't know Toronto very well, maybe I'm wrong. Most area's are 5-10min walk to all the amenities you need, and the area's that aren't walking accessible; the majority of people in those area's [Mississauga/Etobicoke/Scarborough/Bridal Path..ect Can afford and do have car's. So they also have accessibility to the services they need because they drive, so what your talking about is people at or below the poverty line; not having access to services because they can't get around in a rich neighborhood. No sweat, because it's not a problem. If you can't afford to get around in the neighborhood, then you probably can't afford to live there. Rich Area's aren't bad because a bus doesn't stop in front of a mansion, what would be the point!! We don't need to build a subway station at every major intersection like in New York City, and if that's what your trying to recommend to people. Then your recommending the wrong city. This is Toronto, not New York City. If I was recommending an area's to people that are coming from another country, I would first want to know what country there coming from and what their finances are; do they have school aged children. So If your say Polish, then High Park would be the Area for you. It's a Polish community, and Roncesvalles Ave; has all the Amenities you need including shops that make traditional polish foods. Plus the add bonus of Schools for your children, in a quiet low crime community; and one of Toronto's largest parks is few just minutes walk away; that's just icing on the cake. To just look at Public transit issues and crime statistics is a terrible way to recommend a place to live. Your just white washing rich or poor, and Toronto doesn't have Ghetto's. So attacking Bridal path and Yonge/Eglington, just looks like envy and jealously, very un-Canadian. The rich and poor, go to school together; they stand in line together at the hospital; and they even live on the same street most of the time. Unless your incredibly rich, then you might find you have the luxury of living on Bridal path. It's not a bad thing.!!
Um, I don't quit know how to respond to this.
For one thing, I live in Toronto, and I was born here, so I know it pretty well. The author of the article the video is based on lived in Toronto at the time he wrote it, too.
This is a video about neighbourhoods in Toronto in relation to other neighbourhoods in Toronto (not in places around Toronto, like Mississauga, nor in other cities). We made a video for immigrants in general, not specific people from specific places.
You're welcome to disagree with us, but I don't think we're trying to make Toronto sound like New York, or whatever it is you're accusing us of, and I don't know how we're "white washing," as this video focuses on what's wrong with these neighbourhoods (or, rather, what WAS wrong with them a few years ago).
Sorry near to Fanshawe college
so there saying driftwood ave and shoreham is not a bad places
I'm from driftwood idk what's wrong with it
Faking a British accent and narrating in a video about Toronto, is annoying. Glad it's only an opinion piece and nothing else.
I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherland, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. Canadian and Canada Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Korea. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian, Indonesian, or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beaches in Canada. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country.
People like You maybe ,immigrants ,they don't like to live clean and to care about that all around them.They live like in India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,etc...,where hygiena is an unknown to mist of the people.
@@MrHeavyrock .Hello, my friend,
I am an immigrant from a third-world country called Iran. In my country, there is cleanliness and hygiene, a 6000-year-old culture. I do not have information about the culture of the people of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, but I know that immigrants try to respect the culture and laws of the host country. Many immigrants live in the United States - Germany - France - England - Holland - Italy, and Sweden, but those countries are really clean. I collaborated with an NGO in Vancouver in 2020 for the cause of abandoned waste in the city. The dirtiest areas of Vancouver were Downtown - East Hastings - Victoria Drive - Commercial Drive - Main Street and East Broadway. With the lowest amount of immigrants and the highest Canadian population.
Anyone watching this video they are lying about this
What specifically are we lying about?
23:01- wherever this is, it is NOT within at least 100 kms from Maple Leaf/Rustic. Aside from everything else wrong about it, just look at the terrain! This is one of the worst videos I've ever seen.
I have no idea where that picture is or why it's in our video but it could definitely be in Ontario (see the green sign, which is the right colour). You're right, it's not Maple Leaf. Can't get good help these days.
That photo may be the town of Maple Leaf......up near Bancroft.
This most be a joke. Should be Best Neighbourhoods.
I don't think this person know what she is talking about. She sounds like she is from Britain with a English accent. She need to visit the neighborhood herself by walking around and see for herself.
You are very inaccurate in your description. You are very insulting.
the littest styll😂😂
The information on each race is
So port
So prey
Poorly made
What?
This video is way wrong!
For example?
that wasnt Fallstaff / maple leaf / rustic ???
Regent Park is almost gone now the Government moved them all to Scarborough so start there Lawrence & Kingston Rd
The "government" moved them? I legitimately don't know what housing options were provided. Have a source?
@@immigroup They're building Government buildings there & condos
@@immigroup The jungle next Lawrence west
@@sda9995 In Regent? I've seen the condos. And there's that gorgeous community centre.
But I don't know what happened to the old residents.
All these Regent Park video's. Regent Park has mostly been torn down, and townhouse's and condo's were built. Most of Regent Parks bad name came from the 1980's during the crack epidemic. Regent Park in no way, shape; or form is Toronto's worst nor poorest neighborhood and since last year 50% is gone!! I told people to buy house's in Cabbage town like 5years ago, that's the area just North of Regent Park. My sister is a realtor and my cousin was smart enough to jump at a house in Cabbage town before the Condos went up. Many of those house's are worth 50%-100% what they were 5years ago, bad neighborhood = Great investment.
This video was posted in November 2016. It was written before that. Things that have happened since are not reflected int the video.
Regent Park is indeed changing drastically right now.
Yah, and if you don't update your video; how're people suppose to know that changes have been made and that your video no longer is relevant on things like Regent Park.
For one thing, they can look at "Published on Nov 9, 2016" right below the video, but I take your point. We have been thinking about updating this for a long time, but I don't know when will get to it.
I lived in Junction. Better hipsters than gangsters!
My! How sarcastic!
Regent Park has been gentrified and its a nice place now
I grew up on Cordele Ave in Mount Dennis
So they took an article and used a software to put a woman's voice to it. I've read this article long back somewhere. The pee stairs reference reminded me that.
She's reading the article. She is a real person.
I have to say the worst places to live in Toronto are Islington/dixon rd, eastern Ave, queen East, Dunn Street,queen west, keele street/finch bloor street/young and st. Clair/keele street
everything she said about THE WESTMALL is 100 percent WRONG
Pickering and Brampton go live there then
There are 140 neighbourhoods in Toronto
No, please don't come to Brampton and make it worse than it already is lol
These are not hoods the are business building
What do you mean?
Where can i view a list of the neighbourhoods? I want to know which one i live in...
Here is the official version: www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=100c861b9fdb1410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD and here's a wikipedia article which may or may not be more useful: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_neighbourhoods_in_Toronto
lived in west hills and u forgot about the shootings the gangs the fuckey at night
Pretty negative video. Fear mongering
How is this video fear mongering?
Which area is safe for female students bear to Fanshawe college, London please let us known
Narcissism by the lake.
Not a fan of Toronto?
Woman do you ever known what you are talking about, I bet you leave in some where in the bush
So it tells me u don't know what you talking about.
She's just the person we hired to read the script. Don't shoot the messenger.
Thorncliffe should also been on this list
Who in the hell would want to live in Toronto of all places?
Nobody. Just the millions of people who live here already and approximately 50% of all new immigrants to this country (though that is increasing). But you're right to some extent, Toronto loses approximately 20,000 people to internal migration. So somebody doesn't want to live here. www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/91-209-x/2016001/article/14650/t/tbl03-eng.htm
La Belle Vie about 3million+ people
La Belle just under 7 million people want to and do live in the metro Toronto area
Good food,somewhat good rappers,And weird shit to laugh at once in a while 😂😂😂
dufferin and dupont bro
I thought all the hoods and ghettos would be here
Regent Park
My sister taught at a school near Regent Park for over 5 years. The stories she told...
regent park not nearly as dangerous as it used to be... i wouldnt even say its in the top 10 most dangerous in toronto anymore
Alexandra park is more dangerous to be honest
Regent Park was not so much dangerous as it was pathetic, at least 15 years ago anyway. Lots of welfare dependency, broken or single-parent families, poverty, general hopelessness, etc.
It's gentrifying like crazy and I believe the plan is to eventually replace the public housing with condos.
I thought it was going to be about gangs.
These are not neighbourhoods
...."smug urban cyclists"?
They are all very rich areas
Yonge and Eglinton is homeless central station, but not the ex-veteran kind homeless. Like, the drunk hobos that attack you with broken bottles.
Boa Hancock yonge and eglinton is a good neighbourhood get out of here
OMG i live in flemingdon park
Is it worse or better since we made this video?
I am from Flemo as well
Flemingdon park is not so bad I know people who live there and they say it’s ok there are shooting but it’s not that bad as it looks it’s nothing comparable to Detroit . Only has 1 minor problem is that the household income there is like 5 percent less then the averagw in Toronto and the schools as mentioned has the problem also .
Next stop, Don Mills station
For me that's The Moon
2013 ranking bro wtf
best place is hamilton
Ohio?
i grew up in weston..queens dr..
I found this video smugly amusing because I live and work in Mississauga.
Pickering, the city that glows at night.
29 crap neighborhoods in one city alone. bravo canada keep it up
Where’s Rexdale
Old Rexdale is 14th
Not paying attention? Figures. Short attention span.
Why does the narrator have a British accent?
Because we hired a British person to narrate the video.
@@immigroup Makes sense! Lol
Person watching this buys a cheap townhome in Jamestown... the real Jamestown (John Garland). Gets shot while moving in... but it's not on the list! SMFH!
St James Town? It's #2 on the list.
Also, on a personal note, I worked basically across the street from St. James Town for a couple of years. Never had any issues.
@@immigroup no... St. Jamestown is somewhere else.
@@Meeeksss Oh near Rexdale. Doesn't seem like it's an official neighbourhood. www.rapdict.org/Jamestown
regents nice now
Well, it's getting forcibly gentrified for better or worse.
The revitalization is painful but necessary . They forcibly moved my dad out of Regent after 30yrs to the "Somali Jane Strip"...he was against it, but personally i love that i don't have to choose between climbing the staircase-turned-brothel or taking the human feces encrusted art installation of an elevator to just visit him. My worst childhood memories are from staying with my dad at Shuter-Regent....and I'm from Kipling-Rex! lol
Rich8927 was great until this year. Big spike in violence.
Unless you've lived there be quiet 😩🤧😙
No jane & finch?
"Glenfield-Jane Heights" is the official name
Also black creek the north side. I herd her mention black creek, just not sure if it was officially on this list.
Two neighbourhoods: www.immigroup.com/news/worst-neighbourhoods-toronto-immigrate
It is there but the name changed. Were you paying attention? How bout finding it on a bloody map. Hold on too much work.
Don’t go to driftwood lmao
Terrible info / terrible video
What's wrong with it? (Keep in mind, it's from 4 years ago, and the data is older than that.)
