It also depends on whether you have to pay for go_transit AND subway/TTC.
If an average TA had a choice of paying 1000 for 1 bedroom in Missisauga, vs 1200 for 1 bedroom somewhere in the dt-core, I think that average TA would choose 'sauga.
Many people don't consider the costs to pay when using GO. I think a trip from somewhere in 'Sauga on a monthly basis is around $120, no? All of a sudden, the difference between downtown and boonies is only $80 - not bad. Factor in the fact that in the dt-core you can actively take the subway anywhere, and don't need to own a car at all, and it somehow actually works out to be the same or cheaper than living in the boonies. Why? Because downtown, you can purchase a monthly TTC pass and use it throughout. In 'Sauga, you must own a car. I really don't know anybody there that is able to get away without using a car at least twice a week. |
I was able to do it actually. You just have to be active. I found the best way to get around sauga is to walk/bus/BIKE where ever you need to go. Lived in sauga most of my life, and I have never had a car, and I don't want one anytime soon.
Yes living in TO without a car is easier, but it can be done in Mississauga.
