Why is it in you living room? Just nosy. :^}

Essentially, it's because I live in a one bedroom apartment and use a
wheelchair. In well over 10 years of looking, I haven't been able to find a
wheelchair accessible space to rent or perhaps share with someone that is
within the realm of affordable. I'd be willing to pay $300-$400 a month for
a space that's accessible and less than 30 minutes or so Toronto transit
travel time time. So far, I've not been able to find anything other than
commercial spaces that are $1000 a month and up. To compound the problem,
Toronto's subway system is slightly less than 50% wheelchair accessible
which cuts down greatly on my potential search area.
