The Official Toronto Discussion Thread

[Kilgore Trout]

How come when I drive by construction sites in Toronto I NEVER see nikkas working. Eglinton by the Allen has been shut down for like two years now, and I NEVER see one motherfukker working there. How long does it take to dig up some road and put down a few rail tracks?

I did construction when i was 17 and was a contract inspector for the city of Toronto for construction on the roads when I was an engineering intern. Most people get into construction through family connects and most of those people are Italian or Portuguese (illegal Portuguese lol). Its rare to eveb see a regular white person doing construction. That said there are lots of black people working in the trades, just in smaller companies.

^ you can find something downtown that's inexpensive if you're willing to have roommates.

while i was moving out today, i saw a "for rent" sign on a house nearby me. Check out postings for Brunswick Avenue in the annex.

bathurst/college to bathurst and harbord tends to have a lot of decent spots too for 500/600/month per room in a shared house. depends if you're willing to live with students though.

i'd also suggest checking out 263 Adelaide St W (same spot as Loft 404) for vacant spots. you can get an entire studio space for 500/600.

I'd say my budget is around $600 a month just for rent. Right now I'm staying in Waterloo since I go to school there, but obviously I'll need a 4 month sublet for my internship in Toronto.

I don't have to live downtown breh, just preferably near a subway station so I can commute easily

yeah, downtown prices are killer, the internship pays well but I need to save up for school and all that I'm currently looking at some of the areas near Ryerson or U of T, probably living with other students

for like max 600 you'll prob have to just rent a room / share a kitchen, washroom type thing or roomates.

mississauga for max 600 can get you a apt or a basement apartment
