The upscaling of hotels...is taking place within a larger process of neighbourhood change. A recent study released by the Carnegie Community Action Project...found that the number of hotels renting at welfare rates has decreased to 12% from 29% the year before. These trends show that the interests of private owners are simply not compatible with the needs of low-income renters, yet the city routinely sides with owners over renters.
