so living here my whole life makes me biased, but i think toronto is a good city to live in. if you want to live in an international city, toronto is good because it’s safe, but still lively, although it’s cold it’s not much different from new york, and definitely not as cold as montreal. another thing i like about toronto is that it’s such a “mosaic” city; different areas have completely different atmospheres. you’ve got your little italy, greek town, china town, the toronto islands, yorkville, cabbage town (with riverdale farm in the middle of it), entertainment district, queen street, the beach area, harbour front and so many others. and there is always something going on, including parades like the santa claus parade, celebrations like taste of the danforth, the film festival, jazz fest, the exhibition, winterfest, doors open toronto etc etc there’s always something to do.
i’ve been to lots of other cities, but so far haven’t found one i’d rather live in.
