I walk through much of Cedar Hill almost every day. Your description is IMHO quite exaggerated. How often have you walked or bicycled through there?
Yes, it's a less expensive neighbourhood than, say, Victoria Park. Yes, there is a mix of housing types (single-family, plex, mid-rise and high-rise). But there are very few houses that are run down, and there is little evidence of poverty.
Other than, of course, the homeless shelter on Charles St. You can see homeless people there, especially in early mornings, but they are neither aggressive or threatening. And during the day, you will see more of them on King St than at the shelter. And if people are moving from downtown Toronto, for example, the number of homeless people will actually appear small.
I don't even find this unpleasant. But it's a fact of life, and something that we as a society should work on.
