Sadly, the homeless problem around the world 🌎 seems to be getting worse 😢
That will happen as cost of living rises, and many who are chemical dependent seek assistance outside of prison. Community shelters and such should be no problem for the wealthiest (those with the most) could be good people and help the world!
I enjoyed watching😊 on that rainy day...Good filming always....your new fan👍🎉🎉
This is an issue going around in every city around the world. I hope Toronto builds more affordable housing 🙏
Not every city. Just western cities.
You can thank woke politics for that.
У нас, раньше, при советском союзе, было доступное жилье для всех категорий граждан, работающие люди получали его бесплатно! Молодые специалисты, при устройстве на работу, получали общежитие, проработав несколько лет на предприятии получали бесплатную квартиру. Кто хотел, могли купить жилье, но очень недорого. Поэтому при социализме, социальные права граждан работали на 100%. Сейчас все изменилось, увы.. Нужно доступное жилье, 21 век, и у многих нет возможности иметь жилье.. Это очень плохо.
@@LoneCoast Are you aware of the origins of woke? I doubt it.
@@lisadeeyoung I sure do.
The civil rights and social justice movements of the 60's/70's
@@LoneCoast and look how it's being used in 2024.
Good Morning everyone :)
Rainy day walks are the best. 🌧️
What do you recommend for comfy walking waterproof shoes?
Toronto is better than Montreal, NYC and Vancouver but it’s not what it used to be sadly.
Canada sucks dude. It's become a dictatorship with that guy Trudeau in power.
@@alonshechter8676Montreal is a city full of right wing people and only care about preserving french language. The people there do not care about tourists and treat them with uttermost disrespect. Montreal absolutley sucks.
TORONTO IS BETTER THAN MONTREAL AND VANCOUVER BUT NYC IS WAY AHEAD OF TORONTO
@essgee4225 oh yea ? With national guard on the subway due to crime, I don't think so.
@@ogs_Boga1900 MORE JOBS IN NYC, HIGHER SALARIES, NYC IS A TRUE 24 HOUR CITY, TORONTO IS TRYING TO BE LIKE NYC
Hello from "The Sassy Coffee Company Cafe" here in Wolverhampton England 😃
All through out North American cities they have removed benches and resting areas as much as they can. Train stations are bare of seating. And where there are benches they have strategic arm rests (so that no one can sleep on the bench). This is just one of many tactics to make it difficult for the homeless to squat.
.
Too many people believe that the homeless want to become productive members of society with good paying jobs and warm comfy homes. Unfortunately that is simply not true. Our homeless have mental health issues and I do feel bad for them - but they do not want to be party of our society. Their free-riding actions are becoming ever more expensive to our society, a health hazard to themselves and to their immediate community.
.
What is the answer? I don't know, but we have to be honest and say this issue is becoming more and more expensive and is only growing.
.
Just think of the next generation of toddlers and ask yourself - how can we make sure those little children don't grow up to become part of our homeless community?
Have you ever had a actual conversation with any of the homeless? There are definitely Some who are fine with how they live but a large majority would jump on the opportunity to be a part of society again. Most people don’t understand how Hard it is to get anywhere from the bottom Without help.
@@kingofcod_yt9234 I guarantee the answer is "no".
The general public ignores homeless and pretends they don't exist, so most people don't realize that many street homeless die and their bodies simply disappear because they get eaten by other homeless.
@@sarbantz nobody is eating the homeless bro they’re not zombies. Bodies get found all the time and the Paramedics are called for clean up.
You are doing a very good job!
Good morning
We have homless people in Denmark, just not encampments. Our rents are not for the most people in the 2000 dollars price range. Not in Copenhagen and not for a 1 bedroom. Although I miss Canada, I am glad I live here now. 💚🌳🌼✌🏻🌷
😊that area use to be my neighbourhood when my gjrl was little, thank you for taking me there again after about 14 years! My apt was 1 block from College park and I used the streetcar along Carlton st to get to elementary school. I also took my little girl very often to Allan Gardens 🙂 thank you Jonnhy for bringing good memories 💜
How sad to know that people lost their homes and live in that cold wet place! 💔😢 it could be me, I hardly pay my rent, Toronto is becoming very unaffordable.
Jonnhy please take us INSIDE ALLAN GARDENS next time!!🙏🏻😃 it used to be beautiful long ago...
This area is boring.
Those teepees are actually warm but I don't respect the amount of deaths around. They don't talk about it but it happens in those areas way too often.
They just drop like flies it's sad.
Inject themselves in the arms
Thanks Johnny for the video. Unfortunately scenes such as these are common in many large cities. In Chicago homeless migrants were staying at police stations. Until we care more for the less fortunate. Things such as this will continue.
Bless Saturday everyone .. there you go again absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation walk away tour and you rock it all again .. thanks again Jhonny and have a wonderful blessing weekend, take care and stay safe my friend ..
good morning everyone
T.o is just too much drama
SMH
In the states to be homeless is a crime public safety! NYC I’m not a youtuber on ssi income with a criminal record no clean slate here Bronx tremont ave shootings every month!! Thanks to actionkid Alina McLeod and Ken
Nah I'll pass on Allen gardens
Hey at least they chopped wood
Allan Gardens is a disaster
I enjoyed watching & keep up the good work a sacred fire is an Indigenous wellness support to those who ethier passed on to the spirit world
Thanks for the follow up. Looking a lot different than last time.
I walked and driven all these streets in Toronto. I enjoy seeing the changes since we’ve left. I was saddened to see the homeless encampments. The west coast is our home now and I’m grateful to live in this beautiful country and hope it gets better for those in need
They trashed the housing in parkdale all along queen Street.
They don't have any respect
Too much drug addictions that's the problem.
People tried
Not sure why you wouldn't move to a reserve....then you can set up you teepees and get housing and money....seems far more practical than living in the middle of a park expecting people to give you privacy
the teepees are not part of the encampment. They are one of 4 designated Sacred Fire sites. If you qualify you can reserve it in advance for the night with the city
Hi from Wulfrun Wolverhampton England
Seattle & Portland Oregon are also topping the list.
In Toronto, the rich politicians make-up about 15% of the population whereas, the remaining are 85% homeless. Thanks everybody
Good morning Johnny 🌄
☔️🌺
Butiful
The general public ignores homeless and pretends they don't exist, so most people don't realize that many street homeless die and their bodies simply disappear because they get eaten by other homeless.
In winter of 2021/22 many homeless in Toronto were offered housing in large motels that were closed and due to be refurbished. They are provided with a room and hot meals each day. They are not permitted visitors. As the refurbishment takes place floor by floor the homeless (that are still alive, as many die from drug use) are moved to upper floors. I worry what will happen when the refurbishment is complete as the govt. cheque for most of these people is only approx $200/month and many have mental wellbeing issues that are unseen which limit their working opportunities. 😔
Thanks so much for this excellent video, Johnny Strides! With all due respect to everyone, why did the city allow these tents to be set up in the first place. Just because it is a public space, don't think it meant for anyone to set up a tent & live there!! Am glad to see most gone but I also hope the city found suitable accommodations to house the homeless ie: vacant buildings the city owns or vacant buildings like that building owned by a church group & left vacant for a few years. There are options to move the remaining out of the park & First Nations or not, these tent people have no right to occupy the park & to keep you, Johnny Strides, or anyone, from filming, since it is a public area. Public parks are for people, families, to enjoy at their leisure for a picnic, etc. without fearing of not being safe! Cheers & stay dry & safe!🥰🥰🦅🦅🦅🦅
@9:20 Gerrard street to the south.
The Garden District is bound by Queen Street to the south, as stated in the video :P
Hello. Coming off winter It's too early to re-visit this topic. Wait until the end of August. A vote for Olivia is a vote for a tent at your doorstep, please prove me wrong. I hope the park remains vacant and accessible to everyone.
You say that, but the park is much more accessible now than it was under Tory's last years. We'll see but it's hard to pin such an issue on squarely on a mayor, one who's made no policy changes so far that would lead to increased homelessness.
So there were mayoral candidates aggressively pushing fully fleshed out plans for building affordable housing, expanding mental healthcare facilities, prosecuting slumlords, and regulating the prices of basic amenities? News to me!
@@JohnnyStrides As I stated, we're coming off winter. We'll see in August. Aggressive 9.5% property tax increases and silly storm drain taxes will do much to raise rents. Inaction during an affordability crisis by our elected officials is just as damaging.
@@robertvisquo308 Ah, blame the current mayor for trying to clean up the mess the previous one left behind. Sound thinking.
@@JohnnyStrides You won't get any defense of Tory from me. The opposite. And the current one has done nothing to clean it up. I appreciate you bringing attention to the homeless situation.
