Just a lil' taste:

One thing that shows how there is something dysfunctional about the way we plan and develop our communities is the fact that this can happen in what are by all accounts booming urban areas (which Toronto undoubtedly is).

Normally, in a booming urban area spaces like these should be in demand to at least some degree.

(Note that Toronto is not the only place you see this - in fact it is one of the least affected in North America.)
