## Resource

July 1st looms as a crisis day for Montrealers — over 115,000 face eviction, with 3,000 potentially homeless. What was once a fresh start has become a symbol of housing despair, as skyrocketing rents and broken systems leave tenants stranded. With fewer than 1% vacancies in affordable units under $1,000, and 25,000 luxury units sitting empty, advocates scream for urgent social housing. July 1st isn’t just a deadline — it’s a wake-up call for a city crumbling under the weight of affordability. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
