I already rent. I live in a dirt-cheap secure bunker in a great neighborhood in downtown Toronto surrounded by a close-knit community of artists, musicians, writers, beatniks, hippies, hipsters, punks, immigrants and general riffraff.
I'm surrounded by bars, bistros, patios, booze cans, live music, original artwork, gourmet food and shops selling everything imaginable.
My rent is less than the maintenance fees on even the cheapest condo.

Sounds like Maitland Ave☺

No. I'm what they call a breeder.
I live in Kensington Market.
Don't worry, we're open-minded about everybody, LGBTQ included.
Unlike that other "village", we don't even mind uniformed police officers. It makes them easier to spot.

I'd like to mention Toronto is the only place where I've seen homeless drunk people finish up drinking etc in a group in a busy area such as dundas and pick up all their litter and then proceed to place said items in the correct rubbish bins.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
The police man we spoke to said no one wants their city to be messy.
