Original Toronto Star caption: New quarters for low-income families? These are the swimming-pool equipped maisonettes in Etobicoke where the province plans to relocate low-income families. They currently are renting for $150 to $175 a month. On Robinglade Dr. near Highway 27 and Rathburn Rd., they would be rented by the province for $50 to $150 a month. To complaints that newcomers would get better accommodation than some residents, the reply was: the poor people can swim, too.
