Is this the same Marcus Gee who  a while back was lamenting about the stratospheric prices of Toronto
housing?  Being saddened by the fact that his three children will never be able to live in Toronto, or at
least never own a home.  
What a poor excuse for a review of a very important book.  I moved to Toronto in the mid 70s and I
sure still feel that the city was so much better then than it is today.  It was a livable city with a much
more mixed population.  The Beaches, where I bought my first house for less than $ 40 000 was a wonderful mix of young and old, lower middles class to pretty wealthy. With relevant stores that
serviced the community and a healthy sense of communal spirit and belonging.  I and my husband
were young with a very low income.  Today this is an impossibility in this neighbourhood as well as
in most other.  Toronto, like so many cities has become a place for the wealthy alone.  This is not better, it's tragic and sad.
