CALLING ALL CANADIAN BREHS/BREHETTES

[Ohene]

What in your opinion is the best city for a breh 26-27 years old to move to, Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto or some city I'm wholly unaware of?

I'm doing research for where I'm living after I finish school I know Vancouver has like 6,000 black people total so even though the city seems nice that's not the move I suspect, discuss

Toronto is easily the best city in toronto

I live in a 1 bedroom downtown and ion even make that much so I think you can make the prices work.

when did you move into that apartment is the question?

 

[MikelArteta]

I'm from San Diego so I'm accustomed to that cost of living

oh ah gotcha
then toronto and vancouver

if you got time i'd recommend spending time in both cities

Vancouver is most similar to SD. I was in SD for a week last year
Toronto is >>>>>> both

 

[MikelArteta]

Toronto. If you can make the expensive cost of housing work it is a no brainer. You don't need a car either.

Don't need a car in vancouver as well.
I'd actually say it's easier to get from vancouver to it's suburbs (surrey, white rock, burnaby, langley) than from toronto to it's suburbs by transit

I figured city is quite pleasing with the aesthetics

Vancouver>>Toronto

Pros
Less stress
more stuff to do, (biking, Hiking, Skiing, boating, walking, climbing mountains, whistler )
better weather
better beaches
better parks
cheaper car insurance
Easy to travel to the west coast of the US and easiest place to travel to hawaii and other asian countries. You can go to Victoria, Vegas, Seattle, majority of California all in under 2 hours.

Cons
- not alot of black folks but meh
- jobs don't pay as much as jobs in toronto
- culture and diversity isn't as great as toronto
