Careful, he clearly can't afford the anti-depressants.
I wish I was, after reading your posts.Are you sure you're not on anti-depressants?
I'n thinking about moving to Toronto. I have a few questions though.
1. Do you need a car
2. How do you bring home big packages/load of groceries without a car
3. Is it overrated
4. How often do you guys use the TTC System
5. Any other info I should know
I can't imagine living in the city on $60 grand a year. It would be awful.

2. All the areas I mentioned above are in close proximity to great grocery shopping. Kensington has the best open market in Toronto (in my opinion), St. Lawrence has the St. Lawrence market, which is amazing, and North York has a pretty good super-market.
I was addressing more your deceptive reference to "a" supermarket, rather than supermarkets in general--as if there were a particular example in North York worth singling out...
You do not need a car in Toronto, especially if you live in the central area. Very few of my friends who live downtown, own a car and I gave up driving since I moved downtown. Everything you need is usually close by. As far as living expenses go, it's no more expensive than any other major city in Canada, except for the cost of housing. If you can find an inexpensive apartment, you'll be fine. Food is actually cheaper than most other parts of Canada. There are so many free events in this city, you don't need to spend a lot on entertainment. I think you can have a very good quality life in Toronto, even on a modest income.
