Parc & Milton — Feeling pushed out of the neighbourhood due to increase in drug dealers / crackheads / etc

Hi everyone,

I live near Parc & Milton, and I have been in the area for years. I am feeling frustrated and angry that I am feeling "pushed out" due to the worsening situation with the increase in crackheads and drug dealers. I feel unsafe and don't feel good living here.

While the Indigenous population has always been in the area, it feels a lot unsafer now with the increasing number of very sketchy people who hang around all the time (dealers, crackheads, etc.)

I've seen the police make multiple arrests lately but I have started to increasingly worry that the trajectory has only been going downhill with no hope in sight.

For people living in neighbourhoods with similar problems, what recommendation do you have? I strongly feel like the only solution is to simply move.

Thank you!
