Show Notes:
#CityDoc hears from musician and activist Rob Osler about the precarious living situation for tenants at the Fattal Lofts in St-Henri, Montreal.
These lofts, situated on St-Remi St. on the western edge of St-Henri, are located near a major highway redevelopment and the new super-hospital. The city is putting pressure on controversial landlord Sam Fattal to re-zone his property, handing out eviction notices earlier this year.
Now tenants are fighting to preserve the lifestyle at the Fattal Lofts, a place where artists and itinerants call home. Featuring music by Arsenal of Empties at Fattal Fest 2012.
