Would you call the City to complain about your neighbour's lawn? As The Local's analysis reveals wealthier wards are disproportionately more likely to use 311 services, Inori Roy writes on the relationship between complaint, civic engagement and privilege. thelocal.to/toronto-311-co…

Toronto's population has more than doubled since 1971, but many neighbourhoods—the tree-lined, affluent ones—have gotten less dense. In a big (dare I say, "sprawling"?) essay for thelocal, I explain how uneven densification makes life worse for everybody. 📸 by @chloeellingson

Don't miss this excellent, insightful story, the last in our Divided City issue. "The point here isn’t simply that some Toronto communities have elegant Victorian homes while others have drab towers. It is, rather, that the drab towers exist because of the elegant homes."
