A TikToker Called Toronto An 'Exclusive Country Club For Rich People' & Wants It All To End
She just wants to "afford rent, utilities and canned goods."
Toronto is getting more expensive and it's causing people on social media platforms like TikTok to rant about it.
A Toronto TikToker, Kitanamilan, is going viral after posting a video calling out the city's affordability crisis and people are finding her points hella relatable.
"Toronto is for rich people," Kitanamilan said. "Toronto has become an exclusive country club for rich people. And if you are not rich, then you're going to find it near to impossible to live."
@kitanamilan When will this madness end?! #toronto #torontotiktok #relatable #trending #fyp #foryourpage
She then defined "rich" as people who are "rich, rich." In other words, people who don't look at price tags, or those who fill up their gas tank without being bothered by the cost, the TikToker explained.
"If you are someone that works hard and has multiple jobs, you're going to find it impossible to live comfortably in Toronto," Kitanamilan added.
The TikToker said living comfortably, in her definition of the term, is being "able to afford rent, utilities and canned goods to live off of."
The content creator said she is "far from rich," but life is getting "harder" and "it's frustrating," — "When will this madness end?!" her TikTok caption reads.
The video, which has gained a lot of attention, has people chiming in to share their opinions, and they mostly support the TikToker's observations.
"Toronto isn't even all that fr," one person said to which she answered, "Fact! Like they trying to sell Toronto like a luxury spot."
"It's TRUE, I don't even understand WHY! it is not even nice here, I'd rather struggle in California than Toronto," another wrote. Kitanamilan agreed and replied, "🤣🤣🤣🤣 Exactly with the cost of living here I expect no snow and subway/bus services that are never late 🤣."
"Ontario is only for rich people, life is unaffordable everywhere in Ontario." another TikToker shared.
