在加拿大
加拿大本地人比较：Comparing Vancouver,Toronto and Calgary Toronto vs Calgary vs Vancouverand the answer from one of the members was quote:HiI have lived in Vancouver, Halifax, Montreal and Toronto and part of my family are living in Calgary.VancouverPros:Vancouver has easy access to nature (but skiing can cost a pretty penny). Seawall.Entertainment that is decent: Hockey, Bard on the Beach, Kits, beaches, Commerical Drive.It rarely snows.ConsVancouver real estate is the highest in Canada. Cost for a one bedroom condo in downtown core (what will actually hold value.. location location location) is higher than $350,000 + Rent is over $1300/month The summers are getting warmer and air conditioning is rare in ANY condos.. even new ones. The city lacks any culture or entertainment. People who think it is decent haven't travelled. The art gallery is horrifyingly small, many of the interesting night clubs are closing. Car Insurance is a surprise because it's provincially governed by ICBC so there is no competition... there for the cost is high. Gas cost is higher than all other Canadian cities.Food cost is higher than all other Canadian cities.There is no banking financial base in Vancouver other than HSBC. All the other hubs are in Toronto or Montreal.There are no highways. Traffic congestion is surprisingly bad for such a small city.The homeless and homicide rate is higher in Vancouver than ANY of the other cities.It rains... around October until May. Almost every day. So if you get depressed easily don't move here.During the Olympics it will chaos.. but fun.TorontoProsIn terms of job opportunities its one of the strongest. Transit is pretty good compared to most cities but expensive. Food is cheaper. All purchases... can be cheaper.. as long as you look. Insurance, gas, food, items, clothes... competition makes it more affordable.It's multicultural... truly..Entertainment is probably one of the best... Basketball, hockey (they suck), Stratford, club districts, AGO, ROM, and the various neighbourhoods... and restaurants are cheaper!!!Better access to schools, universities, libraries and healthcare than other cities... far better in fact.ConsIt can overwhelm you, people are more competitive.. which may not be a bad thing depending what you like.It snows... brrrrPollution but it's getting better.Rent downtown is expensive.. about the same as Vancouver but the quality of the building may be a bit better.Traffic can be hell.. use transit.Lake Ontario stinks in the summer.CALGARYProsOpportunities!! but it may have died down since the boom is now over.I think housing is dropping.. the hype has left.Highways!! transit isn't bad either.Cheaper food/merchandise cost.It's SUNNY!!!! and has mountains.. real ones..People are really nice here unlike Vancouver or toronto!ConsNow this city is REALLY COLDNo water...Small city.. less excitement..Conservative... no recycling!!
