Rooms that rent for $250 are demanding $2000.
They estimate that it will boost the local economy of Toronto by $250 million dollars.

Personally if a person paid me $$$ I wouldn't lower my values.

Yes, we hear that here with events "oh, but its great, it will boost our economy by millions". Technically that's true. But. Take our Melbourne Cup horse race today. "The race that stops a nation" they say. News shows luxury cruisers from all over the world coming to Victoria Melbourne loaded with the rich and famous from all over the globe. Oil Sheik billionaires, tech billionaires, movie stars, singers, you name it. But do the poor and homeless see any boost? No, they get zero, zip, nothing changes from today from the last day to tommorw or into the future. Who gets the boost? The luxury food caterers, the luxury hotels, the betting Industry, the luxury everything for the rich. There is utter crap advantage for anyone else. There is no boost for the economy for the average person, its smoke n mirrors saying it is.
It makes me sick when I hear that here.
