10 h. ago Ontario rent prices keep falling and here's where they're cheapest right now

It may not be a good time to own a condo in Ontario (at least, if you're looking to sell), but it sure is a good time to lease one — or any property type in the province, for that matter — as rent prices have been on a steady downward trajectory in major hubs like Toronto.The 6ix just saw another 4.7 per cent year-over-year dip in the average monthly rent rate for a place, marking the ninth consecutive month of rent declines, according to the latest National Rent Report from Rentals.ca and Urbanation. (By comparison, Canada as a whole saw a 2.7 per cent drop.)As of June, tenants in the city now pay around $2,283 for the typical one-bedroom apartment (which is 0.8 per cent less than in May and 6.6 per cent less than this time last year), and $2,929 for a two-bedroom unit (0.1 per cent less than the month prior and 8.4 per cent less than in June 2024).Renters in shared accommodation pay approximately $1,188 per month for a room, a 3.9 per cent decrease from ...

12 h. ago Vandals just cut down Toronto's most notorious speed camera for 6th time

In a story that is starting to feel a little repetitive, vandals have once again cut down Toronto's most controversial automated speed enforcement camera.The Parkside Drive automated speed enforcement camera was cut down yet again overnight on Tuesday, marking the sixth time the device has been chopped down in the last eight months.Toronto Police had even taken recent steps to prevent further vandalism, including the addition of a surveillance camera this summer in the wake of another downing incident.It seems you can install a speed camera and you can reinstall a speed camera — heck, you can even install a surveillance camera to monitor the speed camera — but in the end, none of these answers have proven to be effective long-term solutions.First installed in 2021 following a fatal five-car collision, the camera is estimated to have raked in over $7.3 million in fines to date through just shy of 68,600 traffic tickets.While championed by vulnerable road us...
