Am I the only one upset and frankly worried about the safety concerns and image that the vacant Ontario Street houses are portraying?

I don't have any of those thoughts when passing that stretch. Considering what's coming there, I just think of the (relative) waste of nice lots and structures it represents, and whether this town is on the right track planning-wise. Once upon a decade, those were very nice secluded spots almost out in the country. Plenty of examples around the GTHA. The developers will always find these spots, and get their way.

The funny thing is that people can get worked up about a handful of boarded up homes that are going to be removed in the near future, and nobody gives a crap that the first thing you see when you get off the Hwy is a bunch of cheaply built condo complexes that scream “future slum area” area so loud that there are already hookers operating out of them.
