Good point. These are the only affordable apartments for many people.
A lot of these buildings are 40 or more years old and starting to show their age. Many apartment buildings like these were built with government subsidies, they weren't built to high standards in the first place. Relatively little subsidised housing has been built in the past 25 years. I've seen nasty apartment buildings throughout Ontario.

The majority of people in Ontario probably live in or grew up in a neighbourhood just like this.
