Hi Marion. Didn't see this the first time. Toronto's getting VERY pricey these days, but there are still places.I'm gonna give you a bizarre little example of something I witnessed a few months ago.
A friend of mine had been looking for a small apartment (affordable) for about three months with no luck. I suggested she get to know a few of the people in the "folk community", 'cause word of mouth is a thousand times better than the newspaper classifieds. She did, and one night one of the singers announced from the stage of the Free Times Cafe that someone needed accomodation. It worked. Someone in the audience knew someone who....etc.
Getting connected is the best way to find anything! Kinda like being in the Lions Club or Rotary or such.
