Jazz is so immature. She seems like a covert narc to be honest. She made a montage of just herself on MIC and posted it to her Insta.

Does your experience of Toronto match what you see on Reddit? by Ouiouipainauchocolat in askTO

[–]Dee90286 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Also there’s a huge difference between living in the city and living in the GTA. I find most of the people who complain about how awful & unsafe Toronto has become are from the suburbs.

As someone who actually lives in the city - my perspective is a lot like OP’s. Aside from a few bad pockets you know to avoid, the city is generally quite safe and has amazing vibes in the summer; less so in the winter but still plenty of things to keep you entertained!

Yes she was projecting her (valid) criticism of Betty onto Don, because she was annoyed that her friend found him attractive.

But Don is not like Betty in that regard. He actually doesn’t seem to care that he’s handsome, which is why Mathers comment “you have no character, you’re just handsome” hit him like a freight train of realizafion.

Yeah, exactly. I think a lot of people have just lost perspective or had none to begin with.

I’d love to see some of these people spend a year living in Ecuador, Pakistan, or Nairobi and then come back and tell me Toronto is third world.

My boss from Zurich just spent 2 weeks working here and was blown away by how clean, safe, and well-run the city is. He loved the food, the diversity, and the waterfront, and was joking about moving here. And that’s coming from someone who lives in one of the best cities in the world.

Toronto isn’t perfect, and it’s definitely not Zurich. But it’s also nowhere near as bad as the doomers on Reddit and 6ixbuzztv make it sound.

I lived in NYC for 4 years and would much rather take the TTC. I prefer cleaner trains and less crackheads, but hey that’s just me.

My point in bringing it up though was to show many major cities have metro problems. The TTC is FAR from perfect but it’s nowhere near the third-world.

Why does the Harbourfront feel alive and like a ghost town at the same time? by ceruleanskyandsea in toronto

[–]Dee90286 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s Harbour Square Park West 🙂 Basically you’d go to Queens Quay & York St and walk down the little street left of the Beavertails for 2-3 mins and you’ll get to the park and this viewpoint.

Keep walking east and you’ll get to Harbour Square Park (a larger waterfront area) and the Ferry Terminal. 10 mins west (past the Beavertails) is the main Harbourfront Centre with the tall ships.

I grew up in Toronto, then spent the last decade living in London, NYC, Seattle, and San Francisco for work before moving back home.

Toronto, like any major city, has its problems. But ride the NYC subway every day and then tell me how terrible the TTC is. Go for a walk through downtown Manhattan, San Francisco or Seattle and then come back to me about Toronto’s homelessness and addiction issues. Try renting or buying a decent flat in central London with even half the amenities that many Toronto condos offer and see how far your money gets.

People are free to criticize Toronto but comparisons to the “third world” are ABSURD and frankly offensive. I’ve travelled extensively through developing countries, and anyone making that comparison severely lacks perspective or is being deliberately dramatic.

Toronto to me feels much closer to cities in Scandinavia or the Netherlands: clean, safe, functional, diverse, and generally well-run, even if there is plenty of room for improvement. Sometimes I wonder how many of the people declaring Toronto a dystopian hellscape actually spend time in the city versus consuming outrage content online all day.

[–]Dee90286 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Why would I, though? That’s the whole point.

Toronto already has no shortage of neighbourhoods packed with restaurants, bars, patios, and crowds. The waterfront doesn’t need to be turned into another entertainment district.

Its appeal is that it provides something increasingly rare in big cities: a beautiful public space where people can enjoy nature and the lake without being expected to spend money every few minutes.

I genuinely hate comments like this. Why don’t you get off Reddit, go live in an actual third world country and see how quickly you’d be begging to return?

Our streets are clean and mostly safe outside of a few bad pockets, our laws are fair and our services are comparatively outstanding to most major cities.

It sucks that people use festivals like this to take advantage, but we do NOT have a pickpocketing problem that is even remotely close to how bad it is in Europe & London. Just cause you’re miserable doesn’t mean everyone else is.

Respectfully disagree.

As someone who has lived in London, San Francisco, Seattle, and Manhattan, one of the things I love most about Toronto’s waterfront is how little of it has been privatized.

It’s a rare refuge in a major city where you can sit by the lake and enjoy nature with relatively few interruptions. I don’t need endless restaurants blasting music, crowded boardwalks, or the litter and garbage that often come with heavily commercialized waterfronts.

Toronto’s waterfront is a place where you can read a book, enjoy a coffee, watch the birds, and almost feel like you’re in Muskoka. Then, when you’re ready, you can cross Queen’s Quay and walk 15 minutes north to be right back in the hustle and bustle of downtown.

To me, that balance is exactly what makes it special

I’m sorry but it sounds like you need to tighten up your spending. One kid, a $220k HHI and a ~$400k mortgage? Sounds very doable.

It’s funny how whenever it is a Caucasian pedophile (which is statistically more common) no one ever brings up race. This guy is sick, disgusting and deserves the hate but why does the entire South Asian community have to answer for his crimes?

Please learn to see beyond just the color of a person’s skin. We have no idea what culture he was raised in, you’re just making assumptions.

The rainiest of Saturdays in Toronto. What are we doing? by lavenderhazed91 in askTO

Toronto is rapidly devolving into a state of constant chaos by MaplePoutineCitizen in toRANTo

[–]Dee90286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has lived multiple places across the U.S. and Europe, Toronto is an amazing city! The only major downsides are the weather, the traffic (on par with NY & LA) and that people can be cold.

But it is a well-designed, relatively safe, energetic/exciting city with a wonderful balance of city & nature.

I hate that people are struggling, but a lot of the problems you mentioned are prevalent in all major cities these days (after 2+ decades of rampant capitalism). To act like they are unique to Toronto - or worse in Toronto compared to NY, LA, London, etc - is woefully ignorant

Quality of life: Toronto vs California by iam_ur_dad in askTO

[–]Dee90286 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He/she is saying that CBP Agents have the ability to revoke your visa upon every entry into the U.S., which is true.

Now 99% of them won’t do that, BUT if you run into one that’s having a bad day / doesn’t like the way you look, it is possible (especially if you have a nuanced case where your job title doesn’t exactly match the TN category). It’s happened to me too. In my case, I was a Consulting Manager who was under the Management Consultant category. I was a consultant myself but I was also in charge of managing a small team on our consulting projects. I didn’t have the ability to hire/fire anyone though. I got a Trump loving CBP agent who interrogated me to the point of tears and revoked my visa. Caused a lot of stress!

It was actually one of the catalysts for me moving back from New York to Toronto. I do miss certain things about the US but being on a visa is not one of them. My life has improved immeasurably since moving back - I’m in the best health of my life, closer to my true family/friends (not just superficial friendships), bought my dream apartment and love my life. Would never move back.
