This area is being gentrified completely. It will be replaced w/ new condos, townhomes, recreational centers, and shops. Like a Toronto version of Harlem. Went from being the largest stretch of project housing to being a heavily gentrified section of the city close to downtown.

[@Thebrothaisback]

I notice that ypu Canadians love comparing Toronto to Harlem or NYC, but you try to act as if you are bigger and better than Chicago because you have a few more people. You can't even compete with Chicago, so leave NYC out of it.

[@iamlina3164]

@@Thebrothaisback LOL you are making assumptions a lot. I never said anything about Chicago or thinking we're better. I honestly think Chicago is better in many ways but our "hoods" are nowhere near as bad as Chicago's so that wouldn't be a good comparison. Whereas NY has similar style hoods w/ high rise buildings and lots of gentrification. Even the ethnic make up of people in both cities hood's are similar. In MY experience Harlem was the closest US neighborhood comparison to the "hood" parts of Toronto. Even statistically, rate of crimes are almost on the same level for both cities of Toronto and NY from 2018. Yes the downtown area and size of cities Toronto compares to Chicago but this video is strictly about the hood areas of cities. In that department Chicago is real rough and it would be dumb to say that it compares to Toronto.

[@Thebrothaisback]

@@iamlina3164 Canadians always try to compare Toronto to NYC when there is no comparison - at all. You guys then try to bypass L.A. since you can't beat that either, then you think that you are one up on Chicago because you have a few more people, even though Chicago is more spectacular. I've been to Toronto and it's not bad, but it is nothing like NYC. Chicago may be the place you need to compare it to if you people keep feeling the need to keep comparing your one big city to our cities, as if you are looking for respect and validation from us. Chicago's location and some attributes put it closer to Canada, so if you even had to compare, the cities nearer Canada would be the ones, instead of thinking that ypu can get with Americas best, which has no Canadian attributes.

[@iamlina3164]

@@Thebrothaisback I get what you're saying but I'm just speaking specifically on what this video is based on, which are hoods in Toronto as well as this channel what it is made for. To showcase hoods across North America. I think if anything Toronto is a Canadian copycat of NY. We try to bite NY's style a lot, I think that's why others make the comparison. NY is way better, I know that. LA idk how anyone compares them to Toronto. West coast and eastern cities are different, so that is weird. Chicago overall is most like Toronto, but like I said there's a reason I used NY instead, just for the purposes of this video. But tbh I find North American cities generally to be pretty basic. There's much better places to see out there.

[@Thebrothaisback]

@@iamlina3164 well, this channel is to showcase 🇺🇸 hood, but people made requests for Canada and I assume, made the proper donations, so he went there. NYC is #1, so you guys want to compare your #1 to ours, but our #3 is better than your #1. Hell, our #4 might be too!

Much love for coming out here but you're 12 years too late on Regent Park. This was one of the first and largest housing projects in North America until they knocked it down. The largest projects downtown right now is Alexandra Park aka P.O. - The most violent housing projects right now you'd have to visit Lawrence Heights aka Jungle. The projects in the Kipling and Martingrove area in Rexdale (Doomstown, O-Blocc) and Jane and Finch (Driftwood, Shoreham) are probably what you're looking for

Regent park has been under revitilation for 15 years, the south side Dundas and below was done first, the north side where you are driving -Gerrard st down to Dundas is in the 4th stage. Regent park now is a mix of Affordable housing, RGI and private condo owners.

Canadian cities have a different vibe. Their mannerisms are more old school, and people are more courteous for the most part. There are some areas in Toronto that you obviously have to be careful, but you generally don't feel the level of danger as you do in most big American cities.

[@R.B.90]

Toronto isn't like other city. We dont have entire areas being ghettos like American cities. We have government n subsidized housing within neighborhoods. There are like 50 of them across the city. I think its s lot better model than Chicago where all the poor people live together. In toronto most public high school are a mix of middle n lower class it not like Chicago where everyone in the school is either poor or not poor. The toronto model helps prevent segregation and helps changes views although it's not perfect.

CabbageTown use to be much larger with old architecture. Regent Park and St.Jamestown use to be old Victorian neighborhoods as well. It was built with old british architecture. Poor Irish immigrants eventually started to move in, and future many other immigrants moved in over the decades. Cabbagetown had become a working class neighbourhood. Around the world after post world war 2 many cities, especially in USA and Canada started to redevelop cities for the future of cars, expansion of suburbs, expansion of highways, expansion of shopping malls and parking lots and what they often called redeveloping of old slum clearings in inner cities, which were then replaced with housing project appartment blocks, which were terrible designed, and ugly. Old Cabbage Town cleared out old Victorian homes to be replaced with Regent Park in the late 1940s, some of the first projects in North America of its style, which spread across USA. They decided this was better developed then what was previous there as they were working class neigbourhoods, and this was better then fixing the old homes. How ever these new developments only attracted more poor people, and fell into despair. In the 1960s more of Cabbagetown homes were destroyed to make way for massive tower blocks of St.Jamestown. After this Cabbagetown was almost completely lost in the 1970s as more developed neighbouroohds had been looked at to be replaced, luckily people realized the history needed to be saved. And locals got together to protect the old neighbourhoods that remained. Over time the old Cabbagetown neighbourhoods that were not destroyed went from working class and middle class neigbourhoods to more wealth of today, as the homes today have been renovated and saved and are worth alot of money today. Regent Park however was to late, until the 2000s when they started to knock down the projects built in the 1940s for better development. Many cities like New York City to Chicago, to Cincinnati or Montreal, old lively neighbourhoods were destroyed only to be replaced with just as bad, or even worse new developments of concrete block project towers.
