More injury/insult is that the free public phone was removed from the Parkdale Library approximately one week ago. The excuse was "funding constraints" & alleged complaint(s) about an incident re a user or users. However, during my 2 month housing search, all I ever encounered was the utmost consideration & patience from everyone who waited to use this vital service.
They pulled all the payphones outta DaHood "in case" the drug dealers use them. They pulled out all the benches for older people and communal discourse because the "homeless might sleep on them"
Jaysus Tapdancing Christ--Dealers can get cheap cell-phones and the homeless can't levitate and now the grannies have nowhere to stop and sit with their bundle buggies and the restaurants have to buy their own benches.
Your videos are fantastic!
