    Let's not be misleading here. As a Torontonian who moved to KW, and now have moved back to Toronto. The transit takes an average of 2 hours each way from Kitchener to Union Station. 1:50 minutes on a good day. And that's IF the train is on time - lot's of delays. Kitchener is a blue collar town - nothing wrong with that if you like to smoke and drink and hang outside of a Tim Hortons all day. Waterloo is the nice spot - but just as expensive as Toronto which makes no sense at all.

    As you can see from the video, rush hour in Waterloo is like Toronto at about 10am on a Sunday. If you want a big city, KW is not the place. But clean, quiet, easy to get around... absolutely. It has everything you need, but not the big-city night life and culture... or craziness and stress.

    @xoblackout it's close enough to Toronto that you don't feel so isolated like other medium sized cities. Also remember Kitchener/Waterloo is like a single community, there is no separation of urbanization. You have about 500,000 people in the Waterloo region. Waterloo is almost like a Village with in a fairly large city. There are GO buses that take you to Toronto from both UofW and WLU.

  • @cynicalbluewhale
    @cynicalbluewhale 12 років тому

    No worries about your English. Waterloo is a smaller region about an hour from downtown Toronto on a GO Train. The area is extremely high-tech, and I'd think as an Industrial Pharmacist finding work should be no problem at all, if she can't find it in Waterloo, the ride to Toronto is almost nothing. Bienvenu au Canada! If you're ever feeling culture shock, there are large south american expatriate communities in Toronto.

    The vid reminds me of the old 'city tv' late night drive to jazz music. I like that. As an avid driver and former delivery specialist(Mega Pizza, WHAT!?!?) it was fun guessing the locations in first two seconds. Funny if im actually on location i feel lost/disoriented but in the vid it was like instinct i knew the spots. I miss the streets without all the traffic and congestion. The Tri-Cities especially Kitchener/Waterwoo are the only engineered street design flow patterns i know of that are geared to 'control the flow' instead of promote it. They sold those fucking roundabouts as green energy initiatives preventing idling traffic, but in reality it was gov't officials ensuring their Kin folk are employed year round building, repairing, landscaping, expanding, restructuring, resurfacing, then installing speed bumps and obstacles. Only to do it all over again next season cuz damn, one year makes a huge difference in 'unplanned' volume(at the ten kilometer strip man thats forever expanding. Who knew somebody would actually build on alllll that industrial retail space eh? Its ruined alot of shit in my opinion. Ill never understand why so many people bought build-a-box over priced suburbanite houses along ira needles. They mustve done open houses on cold days, cause DAYUUUMMM that piss warm diaper in a rotten corpse smell from the dump is just ever so appealing in the summer. The tri-cities were real nice before all of the politicing ruined our infrastructure. 250billion on LRT, speed bumps humps mumps and dumps, installed on streets with potholes deep enough to be considered bat caves or bottomless pits. No money for road upkeep, but new roads/rail is like theyre investing in gold and diamond mines. Somebody needs to bring in the reins, ditch all the family conflict of interest contractors playing bob the builder. And actually invest in shit we need, like senior care homes, daycares, general maintenance and possibly update some basic infrastructure like actually replace a few watermains BEFORE they fail and flood out the citizens costing insurance/taxpayers money, or basic landscaping upkeep to public zones like the parks and fields and promote healthy living for our children. Shit find me a schoolyard with proper shade, windbreaks, field markings, and safety issues adressed and Ill light my ass on fire. They remove the unsafe park structures that stimulated minds, and had a little thrill factor with minimal danger to actual well being and install plastic playsafe garbage with no swings, that cant be used in the winter like the wood structured old stuff because it slicker then snot when cold or frozen.sand or salt makes it even worse. Yeah its real safe alright. Nice upgrade. Lets look at it instead of actually use it, notice a decrease in injuries?lol, notice all the chunkers druling over ipads watching tv on recess? Fack.

    I grew up in Waterloo very close to Kitchener because the closest middle school is close to downtown Kitchener so in 7-8 (few years ago) half the kids were bused from Waterloo and half walked from Kitchener. The kids in Waterloo normally had more money, other than that there wasn't any difference between people in Kitchener or Waterloo. I then moved to Cambridge when I was 14 I was kicked out by my parents and put in foster care in Cambridge and the people in Cambridge are completely different and the city is trash. In one week I will see more sketchy people in Cambridge than my whole life in Waterloo.

    Kitchener is not a dump. Not anymore then any other city in this province. Actually a lot nicer then the likes of Toronto, Hamilton, London, or Mississauga. The transit runs more then once every half hour. Its only every half hour if its a low use route. The buses used the most (Express, #1, #51 etc..) are every 15 minutes. It takes that long to get to Toronto due to the fact that KW JUST got Go Transit, and have just started to use it.

  • @MarcelVanDerLinde
    @MarcelVanDerLinde 9 років тому +8

    Having lived (and worked) in both Kitchener and Waterloo, and currently living right on the dividing line between the two, I can honestly say that anyone who writes Kitchener off as a "dump", or as a "blue collar" town, simply has a personal bias that is either not based on facts, or based on outdated facts.
    Most of Waterloo Region's big-name tech companies, with the exception of BlackBerry, actually reside in Kitchener. Google, Desire2Learn, OpenText, Vidyard, Communitech, and Christie Digital, to name a few, are all located in Kitchener.
    Kitchener has lower property taxes, and lower housing costs overall, making it a prime market for new home builders. Eastforest Homes, Reid's Heritage Homes, and Mattamy Homes (three of Canada's largest home builders) have far more neighbourhoods in Kitchener than they do in Waterloo.
    With that said, I completely agree that Uptown Waterloo is nicer than Downtown Kitchener. However, I don't believe that a few dozen blocks in the core of a city that spans ~136km^2 is enough to define the entire area.
    I love both cities equally, and as a collective region, I believe we are showing the world what Canada can do, especially with our tech sector. It saddens me to see people bashing any part of the region, rather than speaking highly of each part, and the accomplishments that we've shared over the years.

  • @NATEandtheMONKEY
    @NATEandtheMONKEY 10 років тому +2

    The problem with downtown Kitchener is the entire infrastructure for social aid, (soup kitchens, methadone clinics, lots of halfway houses etc etc ect) is located within a few blocks of the core. There are a lot of "street people" in the area and there constant presence and behaviour harm the development and growth. Been like that here since I was a kid.

    • @Ironhorse7874
      @Ironhorse7874 9 років тому +2

      NATEandtheMONKEY
      Agreed. Kitchener downtown will never get the new, young money down there as long as they allow the street people to linger around. Get rid of Speakers Corners and start moving these people out. Toronto is only 45 miles away. Kitchener downtown is prime for urbanization, since the Ken Seiling and his brother have left any historical buildings to rot away until they're deemed unsafe and torn down. Been going on for years.

    • @AnnaLVajda
      @AnnaLVajda 6 років тому

      Then deal with the homeless problem. Get them rehabilitated. All you do is have the cops keep telling them to move so they shuffle over to Waterloo then those cops tell them to leave. Deal with the problem don't ignore it.

    9:45 Waterloo Region is the only place that replaced flashing green lights to flashing left turn arrows. All other cities just have a solid green arrow and a few places like Brantford and Tilsonburg still have lights that flash a solid green which is good, I don't want to see those go extinct.

    i take the greyhound like twice a month back and forth and if you get the express bus, it only takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to union station, unless it's rush hour and then maybe 1 hr and a half, or one hr 40 mins. but in the later evening or middle of the day, i often get there in just over an hour. and waterloo is not just as expensive as toronto. a 3 bedroom house my friend was selling in uptown just went for 350,000. same thing in toronto downtown would be 700,000

    Way cheaper to live here too. I pay less for a house with a large yard, then I did for a S***hole apartment without a balcony. Seeing how I just moved back here from Toronto, I do know both sides of this story. Also I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I make my own coffee. I don't need a Tim Hortons. If you can't find something to do nightlife wise in downtown Kitchener, or Uptown Waterloo, you haven't left your house.

    @openshot regarding automotive culture. Theres organized car meets as well as unofficial gear-head Tim's parking lot gatherings on any nice night.muscle, ricer, euro guys bikes a good mixing pot. Its frowned upon to do any 'H00NIN' directly at any meet spot so they let you return no hassles, and avoid the waterloo-regional bankers, err police deptartments attempts at taxing. They'll do warnings before hitting you hard, but they definately like to collect. So long as you dont hit anything or rip past the piggies you can get away with ENOUGH to keep you smiling, and if you are smart/ballsy gumball qualifying occurs on highway 7/8 in the grey provincial/local wtf zone. Ive followed groups of crotch rockets doing in excess of 300kmh begining of rush hour fun weave time. Theres enough idiots to bait out and 'beat you' that straight through exhausts pushing high boost at autobahn speeds is easy to blend in. Its a fun drive if you know the pinch points to avoid during frustration hours(7a-930a)(330p-8p). The cops are kept busy with the druggies, crashes for no good reason, and domestics.just watch for speed traps in the 40zones....and stay away from any 'hoods' containing subsidized housing, dope dealers LOVE welfare. Aside from that its not all bad, peaceful but slowly starting to simmer up a bit as the 'multicultural' divides heat up, generally amongst similar cultures as opposed to hate crime/gang shit. A good place to retire, or go on welfare and sell heroin/opiates/meth. Keep it To yourself no worries, run your mouth its time to worry forsure ha!

    (Continued) If anyone were to move to KW - I'd say you MUST have a car, the local transit system sucks - buses run every 30 minutes - even in the height of rush hour. And you don't wanna be a pedestrian out there, because everyone drives like a maniac, and doesn't look before they make left turns in a major intersection. Having a car and a lot of money out there is the basis of peace - no transit, no having to live near students, and not having to live in Kitchener, which is a dump.

  • @ClintScottFischer
    @ClintScottFischer 12 років тому

    You would love living in Toronto much more than Kitchener/Waterloo. In Toronto, there is much more multiculturalism, and not just because there are more people, it's a different attitude. Kitchener/Waterloo is predominantly white blue-collar folks, and they have not yet warmed up to the idea of residing with different colors of people. Waterloo is nice - preferably Uptown Waterloo, it's like a different world than Kitchener, and it's right down the street. You MUST have a car to live out there.
