East end of Toronto (East York) Pros: - Great variety of foods around here (I love Hakka!) - Relatively "affordable" where you can afford a semi or detached home (albeit it'll be 100 years old with a smaller backyard) - Great walkability to small markets, restaurants, breweries and Lake Ontario - Sense of community - Pretty good transit for North America (24 hour street car, subway line and a local rail within a 5 min walk) - Bike lanes becoming more common Cons: - Generally cold climate means a short growing season for my victory garden - Our salaries lag our southern neighbours - The health care system is showing signs of failing under pressure
