    Kingston is for senior retirees and young teens small town. Only senior homes nursing, teaching and fast food or retail jobs. High paying jobs are scarced and people in those get them before the come into town. For young active males and females ages 25 to 45 is quite a depressing town. Add to that the awful weather for most of the year and you get the picture.

    Big smile. if you do not like long winters, maybe you should not move to Canada at all. Now that the weather is changing, you can expect that in 10 years, the winter weather will not be as harsh as it is now. To be positive, I love that there is a ferry that takes you the American border.

    The stupid politicians give out free drugs in Kingston, so be prepared for tents and druggies passed out on the sidewalks and parks from one end to the other. And never leave anything that can't be nailed down because the druggies will steal it. Plus the roads are the worst of any city in Ontario. They haven't been fixed since WWII, nor are there any plans to do so. The real estate is absurdly expensive. And expect at least an 8-year wait for a family doctor (according to the supervisor of Health Care (Dis)Connect.) For example, there are only THREE orthopedic surgeons for all of Kingston and 2 nearby cities. So plan on not getting sick. Strange, because where I live there are 100-300 ambulances and firetrucks going by at all hours. For some reason that's more than GAZA after the Oct. 7 HAMAS attack. All the more puzzling because I haven't seen a single vehicle accident in 3 years.

    Kingston has the worst roads of any Ontario town I've been in. They haven't been repaired since WWII. Kingston has become a Mecca for drug thieves sleeping all over the sidewalks and in store entrances since City Council started attracting druggies from all over by giving out free narcotics. Kingston has the most useless, apathetic do-nothing politicians I've ever seen.

    Queens University shorts the City of Kingston 48.5 million dollars per year currently conservatively. The business owners are targeted to make up this shortage, while city staff protect Queens from inquiries from paying tax payers about why they are not paying. We currently receive 1.5 million from the Federal Government, not enough revenue to cover 3 large buildings in the downtown area. 3 ? Business cannot survive here and the City doesn't doesn't care and the councilors are not competent enough to change the oil in their cars but are allowed to dictate where money should be spent. not their money, ours. The only time I see my councilor is when he is looking for votes, I have never been asked about how I think he should vote, not once, but its my money, my community. However I and no other person has any input, we can't select what we pay for and what we don't, that's communism, period. Don't pay and you will be threatened. Protest and you will not be allowed into the meeting in a public space that you pay for, the system as it is now is a just a joke, freedom, democracy all an illusion. Imagine a small business with a 2000 sq ft store paying over $10,000 in property tax, 3 times what it should be, just force people to find other sources. I have lived here for 60 years, I have done business in the community for 45, still see my customers from then.

    I lived in Kingston for about three years. Nice little town, lost of amenities and tourist sites. Its a tourist attraction town, beautiful for just that either visiting as a tourist, studying at queens or saint lawrence with money from your rich parents overseas or living in retirement owning your own place or renting property while working as a lawyer, doctor, or engineer. If you're are low skill immigrant avoid Kingston. Rent is insanely high and your chances of making it big are almost zero. You'll end up working minial jobs for minimum wage no locals will do. I'm talking production line, retail, customer service and fast food. A miserable experience awaits you. Make your money or get your experience and degree elsewhere then land a high paying job then buy a house and enjoy Kingston. The only happy people in Kingston are already there.

    Trenton Belleville homeless is bad but Kingston is nothing like I ever seen before. It made me so sad and sick feeling I couldn't barely look driving past the one I went past today . Shopping I do agree with. The downtown is beautiful and homeless are usually very considerate downtown. So many options to shop and eat out. It's clean. I find the community is strong and friendly to. Everyone is trying and wanting to do something to help the homeless it's just a very hard uphill battle. Other then that and the drugs Kingston is gorgeous and I like it here a lot =]
