It is nothing like what you see on those pics. The city boasts about being "multiculturalism" but races are divided, and how they live are divided by race. Housing prices are super expensive because they value international buyers from china grabbing real estates for profit and outstretching average citizens. Blacks are especially discriminated against in employment, and housing, and this is why the crime rate is high in the black community. It is a city of half/halfnots. It is cold and miserable for half the year, and the summer time they have sticky hot and humid couple of months. It's city filled with lame posers that imitate the American culture excessively.
If you're black, and ranking this city high, and I don't know.
It's really a matter of perspective. Suburbs are divided.... But the city is very multicultural. mixed race couples everywhere. The issue with affordability has more to do with lack of supply and Wynne government innacting rent controls. Yes foreign ownership is a problem, but not as much as people say. I know a lot of buyers who are from here. I told yall years ago to buy property.
The weather isn't bad. You get all the different seasons. I find the winters in the city aren't nearly that bad. Not a lot of snow. Yea the odd time it's cold but get a Goose and you're good. The summers can be unbearable at times though. The humidity is on another level.
Traffic and public transportation are shyt. Property Taxes high. Anything to do with home ownership and renting is very expensive. Salaries for the most part aren't that great. A lot of educated people here are underpaid.
Lots of Chinese, Indians, Persians, You will literally see everything here. Not many latinos though. Big LBGTQ community here.
All kinds of food here. Whatever you want, you can find it. Many festivals, restaurants, great hotels. Crime is pretty low, people are either friendly or a$$holes, really depends where you go. A lot of that IMO has to do with new immigrants and lack of assimilation into the culture. There's an undercurrent of racism and xenophobia now. Like folk just put up with each other rather than accepting each other.
Black folk for the most part are not seen in high ranking positions and many are overqualified for the position they're in. There is a ceiling set for black folk.
