S.W. Welch: Mile End has had enough
The S.W. Welch move may be the final straw: Mile End is getting organized: there will be a demo on March 13 at 2 p.m., and pressure is growing for control of commercial rents.

On Mile End Ensemble, someone took the trouble to map out all the buildings that SL owns on St-Viateur (8 total, 14 storefronts). It’s hearsay but apparently the latest round of public shaming made them consider getting “out of the small building game” and into the “big office building game” because you can charge so much by the square foot. I don’t want to get too hopeful, but this community grassroots organizing may work!
