Toronto keeps growing, but more residents say they’re falling behind. Is the city losing the affordability, mobility and opportunity it once promised?

Paul Micucci and Anthony Furey unpack housing, traffic, transit, food banks, taxes, city spending, public disorder and why some consider leaving.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why a recent Toronto survey has raised concerns about the city’s direction
• Toronto housing, falling home values, vacant condos and development challenges
• Traffic congestion, bike lanes, the TTC and the struggle to move around the city
• Public safety, disorder and why perception can matter as much as crime statistics
• Toronto’s $20.5 billion budget and the debate over spending priorities and core services
• Rising food bank usage and questions around social assistance and affordability
• Why younger residents and families may be reconsidering their future in Toronto
• Whether Toronto can rebuild confidence, attract talent and improve its quality of life
