I just got back from New York., I was there on business. Every single day in Toronto, I constantly hear comparisons to New York. Whether it is the Subway (Which doesn't compare AT ALL), whether it is dundas vs Times Square or whether it is City vs City., I always hear Torontonians comparing.
Let me tell you, when I was driving into the city after getting back.. OH MY GOD!!!
Toronto seems like a DUMP! Literally., I'm sure the landfill in New York is prettier. I don't know what people are comparing, maybe downtown Toronto with South Bronx or East Harlem. Heck, even these places seem better. I took a taxi to my place at yonge and bloor when I got back, I never thought the yonge strip was so disgusting until I left and came back. Its pretty sad considering this is our face. This is the main thing people come to see. Its GROSS!
The convenience of beer in 7/11's was pretty sweet too. When I got back to TO, I went to the Rabba next door and the absence of beer made me quite sad. It made me realize how much this city/country rips everyone off. All I can say is, WOW!
I thought Toronto was a great city. That is until I left and came back. Now it seems like a pile of decrepit buildings and disgusting architecture with a bunch of people who just sit there and STARE at you as you look at the city in disgust. I moved here from a tiny city in northern Ontario and let me tell you, This is just a stepping point. This is NOT home for me.
