Fighting for housing in Toronto's Downtown East – Canadian Dimension

Seven empty lots that could be used to create desperately needed housing in a poor community have been left sitting empty in Toronto’s Downtown East. For years, anti-poverty activists and community members have been demanding that the city expropriate the vacant lots at 214-230 Sherbourne Street and build affordable housing on them. Now, they’re gearing up for a fight with developers.
