TL;DR
Tenants in Montreal's Le Plateau neighborhood face uncertainty as they prepare for potential evacuation due to plans by the city to demolish their apartment building. Residents, some of whom have lived there for years, are concerned about finding affordable housing in a tight market. The city defends the demolition as necessary for urban development and safety, while advocates emphasize the need for better support for displaced tenants and affordable housing solutions to prevent homelessness.
