Toronto's Average 1BR Rent Hits $2400 - How Are We Expected to Afford This?

I've been searching for an apartment in Toronto for over three months now, and the average rent for a 1BR is a staggering $2400! This feels completely unsustainable. How is anyone affording rent in this city anymore? I can't even find anything under $2000 and I'm beyond frustrated.
