If we were to consider the fate of Kyle Lowry’s house in Toronto, we could draw a purely mercenary conclusion. This city’s real estate market right now is, by dint of the ongoing pandemic, an apparent dearth of housing stock, and an uploading of capital to the already wealthy, entirely favourable to the seller. We’ve been told of a mass exodus from Toronto to the outlying suburbs where “more space” is the prospective buyer’s apparent governing impulse. Yet this push seems more to have affected the city’s renters — or perhaps its most craven Airbnb operators — the people now unable to afford living in the city.
Have we really seen the last of Kyle Lowry in Toronto?
