It’s no secret, finding a place to live in the GTA is no easy feat. Juggling housing costs and commuter times is not for the faint of heart, yet TMU students do it every day. This week, On The Record is exploring an issue near and dear to TMU students’ hearts: where – and how – can we possibly afford to live here? To give us some valuable context and help answer our questions, we’ve enlisted three expert voices on this week’s episode: TMU Data Science and Real Estate Management professor Murtaza Haider, House Canada spokesperson Nathi Zamisa, and acting manager at City of Toronto housing secretariat Sara Korosi. The Academic Housing Strategy is still in the works, and a survey is open for GTA students who want to have their voices heard.
This episode was produced by Emily Zhang, Kinza Zafar, Sena Law and Sierra Edwards and features theme music by Almost Barely called “Letting Go”.
