I grew up in Etobicoke, bought a house in the burbs, been out here for a few years now, got some investments gwanin too here and there

The dream is to move back to the city. I miss it man. Even with the post covid reality...life will go on..

Suburbs ain't for me...not trying to raise my kids out here either....

Next 3-5 inshallah, I'm moving back

1800 for 1 bedroom


To be honest id rather live
In chicago houston atl dallas over Toronto

Toronto is safer and on top of that you're probably comparing the Toronto rent prices to the rent in other American cities but you have to keep the currency difference in mind. Average rent price for 1bedroom in Chicago for example is rounded to 2k CAD

average household income in chicago is 70,000 usd = 94,000 canadian

average household income in toronto is 83,000 cdn

also remember government is not shaving off like 35% and above of your salary in the us
and you're paying like 1,000 a year in car insurance

and food is cheaper, phone and internet cheaper

canada has one of the highest internet/phone and toronto/gta car insurance rates are one of the highest in the world

No, I want to raise them in the greatest city on earth and not one of it's generic suburbs

I want my kids to grow up with people of all socio economic classes and cultural backgrounds

I want my kids to grow up in a city where they have exposure to the urban element, so they have some big city grit to them...an edge...one that has served me well in life

Basically I'm not trying to raise some goofy ass suburban private school educated wierdo

We get free healthcare cheaper college tuition and much lower crime rates I will admit Chicago is cheaper overall but Toronto has a high pricetag for a reason it's a desirable city to live in believe it or not

In any case it depends on your preference honestly and I just think Toronto is better than Chicago to each their own I guess

not really free its why our taxes are so high, plus if you have a decent job in amerikkka you get healthcare

lower crime rates, most places in amerikkka are safe

It's easier to succeed in amerikkka as a black person than in canada

Food, insurance, utilities way more expensive in canada

Only advantage we have is maybe saftey and healthcare

you can't really compare crime because canada only has a population of like 38 mill

if you have benefits healthcare in the state is so much better
US has some of the best hospitals in the world for literally any disease or anything
john hopkins, mayo etc

If y'all don't rock with the city that much why don't y'all just move? Not even a diss I'm just genuinely curious

I dunno breh, I think you’re generalizing. Most nikkas ain’t jumping to join gangs and shyt if they have proper guidance at home, even if they grow up in metro housing. I’m one of those brehs. My friends are those brehs. I got brehs from Malvern, Parkdale, Flemo, Rexdale and me myself I’m from downtown. We all doing good, being positive, some brehs got businesses, most of us married, some have children, owning properties. We thriving. And that’s not to say we didn’t have some dust ups as teenagers and made mistakes in different ways but overall that made all of us better.

But I’m biased cuz I was raised downtown, I’m raising my kid downtown and I’m not leaving downtown anytime soon haha.
