it may not be the 'nicest' part of town, but it's a good working class neighbourhood and nice, clean affordable housing like this is a huge asset. It can help people build equity and hopefully break some poverty cycles as well. I'll admit, marketing neighbourhoods like this needs to be done carefully. People think of Westdale or Locke when they think of trendy, historic neighbourhoods. I wonder sometimes if using lingo like that can backfire on a property owner when a prospective tenant comes from out of town only to find themselves at Barton and Ottawa. Ottawa is a great 'main street' and should be promoted as such.
Overall, great project for the east end.
