"LRTs displace all the poor people"?

[tomh009]

I saw this in Toronto with the Sheppard subway. Sheppard Ave E from Yonge St to Don Mills Rd used to be mostly strip malls with some post-war veteran housing and a few rental towers. Now a decade later it's lined, almost wall to wall, with highrise condo towers. Moreover existing housing north of Sheppard, e.g. in Bayview Village has more than doubled in price during that decade.

I think housing in most areas of Toronto has more or less doubled during that decade, Sheppard is not unique in that regard.
