Great Video! I'm thinking of moving to Toronto from Vancouver. For me, Vancouver just doesn't have that big city vibe to it and I don't like the slow relaxed pace. However, I was a bit disappointed when I found out that buildings in Toronto completed after 2018 can't have rent control

Thanks for your comment! There are plenty of buildings that took occupancy before November 15th, 2018 and are under rent control. If you need some help finding a place, let me know!

Rent control was NOT helpful, since the city had such high tenant turnaround that it just created huge financial advantages for longtime residents at the expense of all the newcomers. It's really been one of the most direct forms of systemically enforced inequality, disguised as a socially equitable move. Rents have been actually coming down for 2 years now despite the removal of rent control. With rent control you'd have been moving to a city where tenants hoard homes that they're lukewarm about purely for the price, while newcomers are left fighting over the fewer available apartments, giving landlords the luxury to charge higher prices.

I would love to move to Toronto from Vancouver to finish my degree and build a life but i have to wait for my dad to retire and get everyone on board, we are not nature people and the larger size of TO and just more non outdoorsy things to do just feels like a better place.

You'll love the hustle and bustle, along with way less homeless people (compared to Vancouver). When your ready, we'd love to assist with your move!

The new build in Vancouver has required air conditioning. Before, Vancouver is always mild and not too hot in summer. Recently Vancouver is getting hotter in summer. Now, new condo and new build have air conditioning.

That's a great insight, thanks for sharing!

Actually, swimming in Lake Ontario is fine. Toronto beaches are Blue Flag beaches, which means they are clean (meeting a global standard). There are no unexplained "ecoli scares". The only time it is not safe to swim in Lake Ontario is after a large rainstorm (signs will be posted at beaches when this happens), where the sewer system is inundated and sewage can overflow into the lake. Again, this only happens after a very large rainstorm. The city is fixing this problem by building larger catch-basins for rain-water overflow, so this will happen even less often in the coming years.

Thanks for sharing! So E.coli becomes a factor in Lake Ontario only after heavy rain falls, good to know, really appreciate it!

I've known a number of people who left Vancouver for Toronto and regretted it. A common complaint was that it's all about WORK there, and nobody takes the time to enjoy life. Compared to Vancouver's proximity to NATURE and the city's varied terrain, they found Toronto quite flat and depressing. And then there's that horrible WEATHER. Brrrrr...... They traded rain for freezing their parts off.
They also didn't like the attitude of so many Torontonians that their city was the only place in Canada that mattered. No, it isn't.
