A tale of two towers (and two landlords) - "At first glance, the state of 1011 Lansdowne doesn't seem unusual. It's a low-rent, badly designed building in a traditionally sketchy part of town, just north of Dupont Street. But then you notice that it is attached to another 23-storey tower: 730 St. Clarens Avenue [which] has none of the problems that plague its neighbour. The drastic difference between the two suggests the real issue with troubled buildings: It's not poor people, not immigrants, not gangs -- it's the landlord." [Globe and Mail]
