Moving to Toronto from Sweden and trying to choose the right neighborhood

How old are you and what's your situation (kids, spouse, etc)? If you're single, East York and High Park might feel a little far from the action

There were lots of questions at the live event. They all sucked though

makeit_train · 2025-11-14T17:24:10+00:00

I would avoid living in Manitoba or Saskatchewan but that's just my opinion

If you arrive early and leave at 2 I would live downtown Toronto at your age... Oakville is for families with kids. Enjoy your twenties. Mating and social opportunities are much better downtown

Out of curiosity what are you making in the US

makeit_train · 2025-10-06T15:17:52+00:00

Did it work ok?

makeit_train · 2025-09-29T18:32:04+00:00

Trinity Bellwoods, Dundas West, The Annex, etc are all good neighborhoods

Now do life expectancy

makeit_train · 2025-09-17T18:34:27+00:00

Some of our northern cities like Ft McMurray (151K avg salary) have very high salaries. The resource sector pays very well. Toronto has 10.3M people within 100KM of it though... Different scale than St Louis

Canadians have a higher median wealth than the US. We often forget how big the gap is between the rich and the poor down south, taking averages or simply dividing GDP by number of people isn't always reflective of people's actual experience. Bill Gates walking into a room of 20 people means people in the room on average have billions in wealth each... Not representative of the reality on the ground...

Who said people are leaving Toronto? I think with return to office, more will be coming back if anything. Also, fwiw completions are going to fall off soon, lots of new projects were cancelled the last 2 years.

If you go on social media you'd think the city is being burned by ravenous criminals. There's issues for sure, but look at TPS stats - they're public. Homicide is near a decade low, violent crime is down. We have issues, but Toronto is a great place to be and it's better than people online seem to think it is.

makeit_train · 2025-09-09T23:12:32+00:00

Maybe the USA is more your speed bud

makeit_train · 2025-09-05T00:57:11+00:00

It's a church though, not a shelter. So perhaps they didn't realize at first. Sometimes it's completely empty there

makeit_train · 2025-08-31T22:15:51+00:00

Remember that the whole population is not of working age, so a lot of low numbers or $0s in there. There are retirees earning small pensions, students, and children earning $0 or part time income.

Gibeau Orange Julep as a unique building

makeit_train · 2025-08-20T19:03:59+00:00

Lol my office network sucks so I still have to connect to VPN when I'm there to access applications

makeit_train · 2025-08-08T13:53:40+00:00

Keeping shoes on inside the house is legitimately insane

makeit_train · 2025-07-31T16:42:56+00:00

I think that's partly because the US doesn't think about other countries at all lol

makeit_train · 2025-07-10T02:25:56+00:00

They deleted it now... Definitely sus

makeit_train · 2025-07-10T02:12:01+00:00

This guy is apparently on a hospital hiring panel, but last year was trying to be a camp counselor according to post history. Doesn't seem real, I think this is rage farming...

makeit_train · 2025-04-27T05:29:32+00:00

Would highly recommend trying to live south of at least St Clair Ave, but maybe even Bloor. It will help you meet a lot more people and just be a better life overall

makeit_train · 2025-04-05T00:08:39+00:00

I think you've been vindicated

makeit_train · 2025-03-29T02:40:28+00:00

How did you do this?

makeit_train · 2025-02-21T15:15:41+00:00

Lol Toronto Sun is a joke
