The problem is that U of T spans some of the best real estate in the city, and obviously students want to live near there.

- sanswork 9y agoSo the uni should relocate or build more extensive student housing? Not sure how that is a problem for the city itself. Not everyone gets to live in prime areas.

- sanswork 9y agoToronto is building everywhere around there. That's why every conversation about development in Toronto goes back and forth between 'too many condos!' and 'too expensive housing'.

- otoburb 9y agoThe GP didn't specify U of T St. George campus specifically, but if we're assuming they were, students have a wide variety of residence options available to them at great rates[1] provided by the university. In cases where students don't wish to remain in the residences, they can move out and share apartments or condo units. Also, there aren't any U of T buildings[2] close to the Quayside cordon[3], hence I find it hard to believe that this particular project (or any) will raise rents all that much for students attending U of T on the St. George campus.
