I'm reading all the comments below and it's making laugh because of the debate about how "dangerous/safe it is compared to this place and that place". For starters, yes it's not a nice area of Toronto with some murders and robberies, but for the most part it's just drugged out people that won't bother you. Many of the murders and crimes are between the druggies themselves, not innocent people just walking through just like youtuber was able to. The real rough hoods are out in the boroughs where the gang bangers hang out. Go into the projects and Jane and Finch with a camera and see what happens to you. The debate how dangerous these places are compared to city "x" always makes me laugh. Like any big city we talk about, there are bad areas where bad things happen. Don't go to those places, whether its NY, LA, Chicago, Toronto, etc...it's all the same crap.

Yes, the issue here is mental health and drug addiction. The crime here isn't all that bad and it is certainly linked to drug addiction. I find it pretty safe to walk in this area and all of Toronto, even at night. I walk everywhere in the city and almost never have a problem or see any problems, not even fights. It's very rare for me to see a fist fight in Toronto and I'm out a lot walking around.

Yeah but the bad parts of other cities are way worse than the bad parts of Toronto. In Chicago there are large parts of south and west side where you don’t even stop at red lights after dark you just drive through there as fast as you can and same can be said with Watts/Skid Row/South-central LA

16:30 Its funny you say this because I vividly remember as a George brown student walking to that Dollarama for school supplies totally unaware of the area I was in. I did get a few sketchy vibes but it wasn't until I got there that I realized I was in Moss park. Crazy how super close it is to GB and Eaton centre. I imagined it being somewhere a lot further from the downtown core.

I agree 100% with this, im from Toronto but visiting cleveland and many other states i came to realize just how clean and neat Toronto is compared some of the states. Though USA is supposed to be a superior how i look at it, it actually makes sense and if Toronto wasnt so neat it be a disgrace to Canada. Cleveland, though isnt the city Toronto is, is still a big city and as Toronto is Canadas most "prized city" , in the usa yall got like 10 Torontos, probably even more, multiple Torontos in 1 state even. Canada focus resources into making the few major cities compared to the states look good. but the rest of the country u can imagine would look just as grimey as the 80 percent seen in cleveland or worse.

I used to work in a job that I would need to go into places like Robertson house and it wasn't sketchy at all. For those that don't know the City of Toronto runs a series of homeless shelters and they are categorized by who needs to go into which area. Robertson house was a shelter for women that found themselves in unfortunate situations (i.e. they were in abusive relationships and fleeing from violent men). They were not sketchy at all- not drug addicts or alcoholics etc. In fact they were very thankful to be away from their old homes that they treated Robertson house like a palace. They cleaned the place kept it better than most people keep their own homes. There was nothing wrong with these people they were just fleeing from bad situations. There is another one for families (on Kingston Rd in Scarborough) and another one for old people (also on Kingston Rd in Scarborough) and you wouldn't even know they were homeless shelters because there is nothing wrong with the people they just fell on hard times (lost a job etc) not drug addicts or criminals. Then there are two shelters- one for men and one for women for people coming out of prison or reforming themselves in some way. They may have had a bad past but they aren't sketchy either. They know if they mess up they go back to prison or out on the street so they stay clean and they are just there looking for work and to get back into society The only "sketchy" shelter was Seaton house for men (around that area in the video). That was people one step away from prison. The men's shelter they would sell drugs out front and had criminal backgrounds etc. The women's shelter they would approach you like prostitutes. But overall most homeless shelters are not sketchy.

I'm not trying to be contrarian but seriously, compared to the East Kensington Badlands in Philly, Baltimore, San Fran, L.A. or even East Hastings, Vancouver this is a cake walk. T.O. is my birthplace and yes, it's become denser in population and the crime rate has risen but you still have an infra structure of sorts. Regent Park and Shuter street were much worse back in the day. Parliament St was hoe town in 70's Cabbagetown but it's been gentrified to a degree and back when we had the Filmore Hotel Strip club things got sketchy around Dundas and George and Sherbourne but mainly at night. The real poverty was in Hogtown where I was born. Tar paper shacks and rowhouses competed with small industrial businesses for space below Eastern. It's been sinking at the Moss Park armouries area for years since they installed more public housing. They've concentrated all the halfway houses, mental health drop in's, shelters and drug services in the surrounding areas so it's no surprise it attracts some shady elements. I mean come on. If that's the worst of T.O. in your estimation you are either wearing blinders or you don't travel much. Let's see you take a trip up to the Jane Finch corridor and show us how well it's fared since T.O. became a developers wet dream.

This being skid row is a matter of opinion. On the surface it is, if you consider the lack of money and possessions along with the drug use. I however, look at those factors and also the quality of character. Most of those people are only "problematic" when in need. When they have what they need, they are fine. Now look at the other end of the scale. Where I co sides the scum bag area of the City. That's the "affluent" area. Queens Park, Bloor/Avenue, going north and east to Rosedale. And Yonge/Bloor. They have everything compared to this area and yet they are exponentially worse as "people". The real skid road is the yuppies. All of these people are used by the racket that is the homeless shelters. The zealots in this City are the trash. Everyone you see here were pushed there with harassment by the yuppie, zealot, scum bag, trash. It's a matter of opinion and I'm safer amoungst those people then I am around the rich folk who folk themselves and folk others.

Used to live in Regent Park as a female near Sackville. It wasnt that bad tbh walking up yonge st past filmores, lots of homeless. But you have to be aware of your surroundings. I had two of my friends get punched by homeless when I wasn't there. I saw lots of people doing crack but nobody ever gave me trouble. Used to purposely walk past the brown regent park building there, felt safer in that area and to walk through cabbagetown to downtown instead of going up yonge. Always smelt like piss along that whole street down yonge basically near the cafe etc and the "best coffee in the world" place lmao

I worked at Moss Park Armoury in the mid 90’s and every morning we’d have to kick all the bums out of the back of the troop carriers where they’d sleep for the night.

Coming from Serbia and having lived in Shanghai for many years, in the US too (Miami and NYC), this is absolutely disgusting to me. We don't have any of this degeneracy whatsoever where I come from and now that I'm sadly living in Toronto at the moment, I'd never step food into this disgusting area. Actually most of downtown To is completely overrun by these zombies; it's a cesspool. But the downtown residents and leaders LOVE and CELEBRATE this kind of.... freedoms and flavors 😂

how adorable! Big city Toronto has a big bad scary area. No litter, clean, relatively safe. I've driven through this area more often than not and trust me, not scary. My daughter takes her ballet lessons nearby and I often go for a walk with my morning coffee along these streets. Sorry Chicago. Toronto has done a great job in this regard.
