Cramped living conditions, high real estate prices, daycare costs are prompting families with young children to flee Toronto Tens of thousands of them are moving to southwestern Ontario each year.

The skyline may not be as impressive in London, Ont., as it is in Toronto, but families who've left the big city say that in London, they're far happier, richer and less harried than they ever were in Toronto.

"We just thought that it was beneficial to raise children in London for variety of reasons," she said. "I'm much happier here." They traded their 1,600 square-foot semi-detached house in Toronto for a cheaper, 2,700-square-foot fully-detached house in London, complete with a larger backyard. They also cut their daycare costs, from $2,200 a month for part-time care in Toronto to $958 for full-time care in London."I'm more than happy these days with everything we've been able to attain since we came here," she said.

"They realize 'this ain't going to work' and they're getting in a car and finding somewhere else to live and often times that's in London."Moffatt said in 2019, the year before the pandemic, up to 60,000 people left Toronto and Peel Region, a quarter of them children under five and the rest between the ages of 28 and 40, many of them settling in London.

It’s called an equilibrium.

Does anyone actually WANT to live in Toronto?

There are many articles written along this theme. It would be intresting to see who is replacing these young, fleeing families in the city.

2000 dollars a month and you still have to wait for months to be granted the priv of paying that.

With their moves comes higher prices in other cities pushing those people out of home's. Vicious circle we have now.

The smart ones are fleeing the country

Kristyn Wong-Tam to leave city council to run for the NDP in June provincial electionKristyn Wong-Tam was first elected to council in 2010 and has championed equity issues, open streets and affordable housing in Toronto. “Doug Ford and the province has shown no interest in Toronto or the neighbourhoods in Toronto Centre or anywhere else, to be quite honest,” Wong-Tam said in an interview. She’s terrible. Spouts nonsense like she cares about downtown. She’s a mascot for the local NIMBY groups trying to shut down development. Take a walk in Toronto centre and ask anyone what she’s actually done. The answer is NOTHING but advance her career. The same Kristyn Wong-Tam who, if I check the voting records, voted ‘YES’ on this budget item?:

Metro mayors say they feel scapegoated by B.C. government for slow pace of housing constructionThey say some of the blame lies with the province, whose regulatory regime causes delays and because the province is not ponying enough money up for affordable housing. Maybe because you are responsible? Why does it take so long to zone anything? No wonder housing costs are so high. Lack of supply. Permitting is nothing but red tape. Yeah they are pretty much fully responsible.

Federal transit money for cities now comes with housing strings attached | CBC NewsThe federal government is signalling it will require provinces to pony up cash for housing before cities can receive infrastructure funding for projects like transit. How dare you ask Provinces to pay their fair share. Don't you know that they are broke....like Alberta, Ontario and Quebec who are giving away billions to their citizens just in time for election season. This is very wrong. Transit budgets and housing budgets are not connected. This beautiful home dropped in price by $150,000 😳 Buckle up the market is crashing and fast 😳

Promising more fiscal prudence, Freeland tables a lower-spending budget focused on housing | CBC NewsFinance Minister Chrystia Freeland tabled her second federal budget Thursday — a multi-billion dollar plan meant to help the country weather increasingly uncertain times through major investments to cool Canada’s red-hot housing market and supercharge the transition to a cleaner, greener economy. It will be interesting how the cons spin this one. Doesn’t matter what the govt does they will support the opposite. LMAO, Liberals couldn't run a lemonade stand. What a joke. Canada needs to rise up. This Liberal nightmare has gone on long enough. “Multi billion dollar plan” = print money and spread lies to win votes
