City councillor­s are hypocrites when it comes to housing poor

Re Council shows contempt for all renters in Toronto, Oct. 9

Thanks to Shawn Micallef for calling out three city councillor­s who opposed to the legalizati­on of rooming houses in the suburbs.

It is curious that the same three politician­s voted in favour of licensing short-term rental units across Toronto in December 2017, including those in single family homes.

I have long given up on trying to fathom the hypocrisy demonstrat­ed by many elected officials, but this plumbs new depths. They should just come clean and admit they’re anti-poor. Andrew Lee, Toronto
