Et tuque arguments aside, a slum is what you make it. In my experience the greatest cause of unpleasantness in slum quarters is the tenants, not the quarters.

taking aim at the city of Toronto and the government of Ontario over what it says are sub-standard living conditions for low-income renters.

Well, you get what you pay for.
