this is kinda contradicting......

i like that the people in our city don't all dress up perfect and pretty. individuality is key.

You don't need to have lots of $ or be shallow to dress pretty

and you don't need to dress prettier to make the city a better place.

LOL Kris the question was the things YOU like/don't like about Toronto, not what makes it better... I am expressing my opinion, you disagree, which is fine either way..Like I said, to each their own.

I think the contradition is that you view pretentious people as a con but have critiques of people above and below the line.

Originally posted by SasH21 Well, that's great to be laid-back, which I am myself. To each their own, right. But, growing up in Ukraine, we were always taught to dress up, wear more dresses, skirts, heels, etc...I think most of the Europe is like that. Even when my friend from New York came here, she was surprised to see that people dress way too casually.

I think you're trying to say that you find people in this city don't seem to have a sense of style or fashion in their dress compared to other large urban centres you've been in (obviously this is a generalization, but you're basing this on your own observations.) Let me know whether I'm off base with this.

totally agree with Sash on the clothes factor
way too many bums who disgust me by their looks - its like, common, at least get out of those ugly track suit bottoms and brush your hair

every time I fly through Europe I can't stop starring at how nicely dressed everyone is, especially in airports - when I'm flying out of Pearson, it seems like people look even worse there then out on the street

Yes, that's what I meant...So, what did I come off as trying to say then?

PRO:

-Toronto island in the summer
-Good Restaurants and pretty authentic multinational food
-relatively safe
-Danforth on a summer evening for a drink

CON:

-Bad transport system. Toronto needs more one way streets and to abolish the street car. More highways needed. Also needs better transit in the form of busses, subways and trains.

-Insecure people with attitude problems... never seen it worse than here and i dunno why. I think the snobbiness from insecure people and the resulting social retardation of toronto is the number one problem in Toronto to be honest.

-Parking. Both the rules and it's enforcement and how its a cash cow.

- Fun police, i dont need to say more
