If you look at large cities in US, they’re along the both coasts east and west.
If you look at large cities in Canada, they’re all along the US borders, to stay as South as possible.
All my friends would get mad to hear this outrageous statement. But yeah I get where you’re coming from. From personal experience, I still think Montreal is the best place to live in all of US and Canada, but what do I know… I gave up a SFH in Mountain View for a condo in SF.
So you gave up a SFH in the heart of Silicon Valley to buy that $2M condo in Bayview?
My statement was not outrageous at all. How is it possible to live in Montreal without knowing any French! Parle vous francais? They will spit on you and smack you silly if you dared to speak English at all!
There’s certain angst among francophones against anglophones, but I managed to survive by spitting back at them for many years.
In contrast, Vancouver and Toronto are fine cities to live in, but definitely boring as hell. No culture. Vancouver maybe (chinese?), but Toronto, Yuck!
I don’t find those two cities boring at all. Toronto is quite nice. I thought about buying a condo up there but this RE xenophobia is getting out of hand.
