I generally like to bitch about everything (hah), and yet I find very little wrong with the TTC lol I swear I'm the only one in Toronto who seems grateful riding the streetcar/subway.

+1 to all these points.... and the TTC isnt that bad at all, except the fact that they continuously raise fares! |

also agree with Graham on many pros/cons of the city.
:) :) :)
I do find it fun to explore around in the summer as well.
High Park is a favourite of mine.
The waterfront (which i'm impartial too) does need a lot of work, which is not being done, but I love to walk the waterfront at sunset.
Toronto Island is my other favourite spot in the city.
EDM scene is great....Many up and coming locals.
Footwork.
Multiculturalism.
Queen Street West.
:( :( :(
I dislike the transit system at times, it needs a lot of work for such a large city...but for the most part gets you from Point A to Point B.
Too much construction. Everywhere. All the time. :(
All in all I don't have a lot of complaints about Toronto. I'm happy to live here and happy to say that I do! |

I love how in Toronto(downtown only) is up and running late late hours where as Mrs.Sauga after 11pm most streets are so dead......
The only thing I hate about Toronto is high costs for Parking.....This is where Mrs.Sauga owns all of you no parking issues always room to park and barely you will see paid parking otherwise its always free. |

Yeah for sure, someone has to cover rising costs.... the TTC cant just operate on a loss every year just because its a nice thing to do |

I'm not sure about friendly people thing... More like people don't care whether you exist or not and just go about their business.
Multiculturalism... Among younger generation it's a good thing because they are more adaptable and accepting, but among older folks for a lot of them, multiculturalism consist of tolerating others... (or making money off of them) |

<3 yes :)
overall I don't find anything to dislike that is not there in other cities I've been to, so won't complain much
TTC really needs improvement, we need AT LEAST a subway system that runs 24 hours a day
but otherwise life in general is pretty sweet :) I guess it helped that I came here early enough, attended uni and all |

I live in TO, so:
Like:
-Great restaurants, nightlife, cultural events, and other entertaining fascilities.
-Thriving EDM culture
-A venue for pretty much any sort of interest you could possibly have
-Enough friendly people*
-Lots of growth opportunities, and lots of potential for improvement*
Dislikes:
-TTC. Unless you live along the major lines, commuting is a hassle.
-Lots and lots of very rude people with heavy attitudes.
-Nanny-state officials and policies
-Lots of unutilized opportunities, lots of great potential wasted on nothing (waterfront and other surrounding areas)
-General hectic pace of life. I used to love it, but now it is getting tiresome. |
