High Rising (2019)
The cost of living in Toronto is at an all time high and is rapidly climbing. The city faces a housing crisis with rent rising with every passing year to more and more unattainable pricing. In response to the culture of the city is depleting with people being forced out of cultural areas due to gentrification and lack of resources, the city seems to only be building more and more high rises. These condos sit out of the price range of those who live in the neighbourhoods in which they are built as well as often replacing affordable housing and locally owned businesses. The housing crisis is getting worse as every new construction announcement seems to just be a new contractor building another unaffordable condo. High Rising is a cry for help as the people of Toronto struggle to find an affordable place to live in a sea of empty buildings.
