Construction is very expensive now. Especially if you’re constructing luxury apartments or high rise buildings in a large city like Toronto. Not to mention labor shortages and corruption scandals. I worked in several construction projects in Metro ATL so I can tell from experience.
I remember when I was 7 there was this ice cream place outside my neighborhood i loved it sadly it was closed and deconstructed, I was very sad but wonders what they replaced it with… *So anyway skip 3 years later*- THEY REPLACED IT FOUR TIMES! It was a fast food place and then another fast food place on repeat. Oh and it gets worse in San Antonio cause I found stuff being built all the time on drives and again it looks the same literally months into whatever the hell there building on the side of the road.
@@CoolerFN15 Construction 🚧 is a very tiresome and stressful industry. It’s either a hit or miss. If they announce a huge project they will either complete it on time or delay it for years. I had dreams of being a construction worker when I was little but now I’m like screw it

You don't have to move yo a different province, but you can if you want to.

Don't come to Canada - we are drowning in inflation and you won't be able to support yourself, you won't be able to earn an income, you won't find housing. Canada has lost it's values, lost it's identity, it's cohesion, it's standard of living. Our healthcare is not healthcare - it's emergency care - and at that - you will wait forever to get it. We are divided, confused, and angry at our lack of leadership. Your foreign education won't be eligible here, your housing will cost you thousands of dollars a month. Our school's don't know what the difference is between education and social/political issues - so expect your child to be subjected to extreme views on norms.

I guess you missed the story of the woman who was set on fire on the bus, people trying to push others onto the subway tracks with some of them succeeding, stabbings and physical assault on streetcars, or stabbings at the stations. I’ve reported two people who were armed with knives. One was at a TTC station. The other was at Eaton’s centre.

Bro quitted Toronto because of the constant construction on the road but hes gonna be surprised when he notice that in Montréal, roads are literal minefield.
I grew up in Toronto. My ancestors came to Toronto in the 1890s. They carved the stone on the old bank buildings and worked the rail yards. When my Dad was a kid living at Pape and Danforth, it was the edge of the city. He pulled his wagon to the nearby farms and sold produce to the neighbors. Toronto will always be my home, but it has changed and I have changed. I have a large five bedroom house on five acres in central BC. I'm surrounded by towering trees and my mortgage is less than the cost of a modest apartment in TO. I miss some aspects, but I can't see myself going back.

As a lifelong Torontonian, I wish you the best of luck in Montreal. Apparently, according to multiple sources, the 401 is the busiest highway in the world. That might be head scratching until you realize there’s congestion and pileups every day on this highway, including areas with 16-20 lanes.
Also, Calgary has pretty low prices. It’s mostly all of Ontario and BC where housing is super over priced. But in Ontario it’s a disaster, you can barely afford a house in Sarnia on two salaries
As an American, I can relate to the part about construction workers never finishing the job/starting new projects that go nowhere. Especially on roads.
He didn't even mention the drug/homeless problem, not as bad as some places in the US but still pretty bad. I don't feel safe walking around Toronto in the middle of the day anymore. Omg the other day we saw a pile of human poop against the wall at a bus stop. Napkin tp beside it and everything 🤢🤮

Reason why those construction projects are never finished is quite simple: If you’re being paid by the hour, you can jeopardize your income by finishing it too quickly. What they’re doing is wringing out as much money from those that contracted them, whether it be private or gov’t. I remember being part of a construction crew and I suggested to my boss, “Hey, we can finish this in one day if we whip out the excavator!” And my boss looked at me and said, “Nah, we’re paid hourly. Let’s bring out the shovels instead. Oh, and don’t forget to be slow and methodical about doing it too.” I was confused at first but then I realized what they were doing but I went along with it because I was kinda naive at the time. It took an entire month doing everything by hand and we took a bunch of breaks and because of that, we got paid a bunch. Had we knocked it out of the park within a few days, we probably wouldn’t have gotten paid as much. It’s pretty scummy, and looking back at it now I’m kinda ashamed. This sort of stuff happens all the time especially in major cities and highways. The politicians that hire these sorts of companies don’t really care because they’re probably friends with the boss and furthermore it’s taxpayer money and never their own. If it was coming out of their own pocket, they might be more apprehensive and cautious, and look at other options, better alternatives but politicians really don’t care because the money that they’re spending is not their own. I remember a story a few years back where a public restroom in NYC took years and millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars to complete. It’s insane. If I found out that it took millions to make one small public restroom, I’d freak out. Any normal person would probably freak out as well. And it spawned a conspiracy theory that alleged that the restroom project was a money laundering scheme.
I live in Montreal and the thing is it’s quite the same as Toronto but I’m sure the rent and taxes are a bit better. Lots of people here are for sure quite nice to talk to. (Quite a lot of French people 😂) There are lots of construction all the time because of pot wholes and pipes that are broken and it does infact make it more crowded and traffic is unbelievably stressing in the mornings but then in the end everything is fixed for sure not like how you said that in Toronto it never changes and gets worse. This has for sure been a problem I’m sure in some overpopulated geographic locations in Canada. Wish you best of luck and we will always respect your decisions of wisdom and what you do for us on UA-cam!
This reminds me of the fact that quite a few people have moved to Minnesota, where I live, from California. California has a lot of the same problems as Toronto. The main difference is that in Toranto, you at least don't have to worry about natural disasters.

I remember when my parents who were basically retired moved out of Toronto in the west end Etobicoke to be precise back in 1998 they were paying $650 for a large 2 bedroom apartment that was under rent control where the landlord and owner of that apartment building couldn't raised my parents rent. Not even up a $1. My family was originally from New Brunswick. My parents and brothers and a sister moved to Toronto in 1964, a year before I was born in Toronto of 1965. So, 34 years later of living in Toronto, my parents decided it's time to go back home to Saint John NB. They are both gone now, my parents, but I still remember that apartment they had in Etobicoke of Toronto. So to hear this young man in this video saying it cost $2,600 for a one bedroom apartment astonishes me 😮 Wow ! And I don't live in Toronto either. I moved out of Toronto around the same time my parents moved out. And I haven't lived in Toronto since then.
I live in Vancouver, I was born and raised here. Our housing is so crazy expensive. Transportation isn't bad but it's too expensive. The only reason that I am still in Vancouver is because I work in the film industry.
Car Insurance is a b in Vancouver cause of ICBC needing you to get the car insured under your name rather than the person insured no matter what car they drive which is what they do in eastern Canada.
Even if the traffic in your commuting area is moving and so much stop and go, the constant stress of thinking every milli-seconds of safety, unexpected road hazzards like A-hole drivers, pot holes, pedestrian, cyclists, "E-Scoots all over the place will drive you crazy in the end.

As someone who lives in northern Colorado, I feel you on the construction thing. They've being trying to get I-25 up to three lanes here for like 20 years
that part of I-25 is scary to drive down.people going 15 over and narrow lanes with concrete barriers on either side always puts me on edge
In Madison Alabama USA i had a place called wreck alley (i-565 Madison Alabama) and everyday it would have 1 or 2 wrecks and they were extending a road for a long time
(4 years) i lived there for 6 years
I had memorys
That’s how it is here in NM, the speed suddenly drops from 75 to 55 and the lanes merge into 1 lane
Well yeah, because that’s how politicians syphon tax dollars into their own pockets, it’s why this problem is everywhere in blue states.
I'm from Loveland Colorado and I live overseas now but I come home every year. That's no lie that they have been working on I-25 for my whole life 😂
OK BUT LIKE THE CONSTRUCTION ONE IS SO TRUE THEY BE REDOING THE ROADS LIKE 7 TIMES IN A ROW OML
shit.... i can come back in another life time and this shit will still be under construction, LMFAO
Construction is very expensive now. Especially if you’re constructing luxury apartments or high rise buildings in a large city like Toronto. Not to mention labor shortages and corruption scandals. I worked in several construction projects in Metro ATL so I can tell from experience.
I remember when I was 7 there was this ice cream place outside my neighborhood i loved it sadly it was closed and deconstructed,
I was very sad but wonders what they replaced it with…
*So anyway skip 3 years later*-
THEY REPLACED IT FOUR TIMES!
It was a fast food place and then another fast food place on repeat.
Oh and it gets worse in San Antonio cause I found stuff being built all the time on drives and again it looks the same literally months into whatever the hell there building on the side of the road.
and there'll be no progress on it at all until 3 days before it's done where it's suddenly 90% built
@@CoolerFN15 Construction 🚧 is a very tiresome and stressful industry. It’s either a hit or miss. If they announce a huge project they will either complete it on time or delay it for years. I had dreams of being a construction worker when I was little but now I’m like screw it
Most cities are facing these problems. It’s called corruption.
And you see Canada is like the 2nd least corrupted country or something smh
No, it’s called a liberal government and population
Liberals did it.
Overpopulated, unnecessary building, no planned time frames or infrastructure put in place to hold large building companies accountable. Just simply not big enough to accommodate everybody. Plus landlords pulling the dirty ones on people.
@@ValHemi265 lot of land lords don't make any money until there properties are paid off and they have to deal with property damage and human stupidity when dealing with Tennant's. I rented out a condo and the stupid things people did was mind blowing also had to decontaminate for meth before selling the property. It was in a decent neighborhood the thing I learned is never do people favors and never rent below fair market value always at or above you attract slummy people when you give out good deals because you don't agree with current rent prices. Sold it bought me a cabin far away from cities and said f people I would rather not deal with anyone.

Don't come to Canada - we are drowning in inflation and you won't be able to support yourself, you won't be able to earn an income, you won't find housing. Canada has lost it's values, lost it's identity, it's cohesion, it's standard of living. Our healthcare is not healthcare - it's emergency care - and at that - you will wait forever to get it. We are divided, confused, and angry at our lack of leadership. Your foreign education won't be eligible here, your housing will cost you thousands of dollars a month. Our school's don't know what the difference is between education and social/political issues - so expect your child to be subjected to extreme views on norms. Also, get use to supporting full on delusions, and having your teen daughter forced to change with 50 year old men and complete with them too.

I grew up in Toronto. My ancestors came to Toronto in the 1890s. They carved the stone on the old bank buildings and worked the rail yards. When my Dad was a kid living at Pape and Danforth, it was the edge of the city. He pulled his wagon to the nearby farms and sold produce to the neighbors. Toronto will always be my home, but it has changed and I have changed. I have a large five bedroom house on five acres in central BC. I'm surrounded by towering trees and my mortgage is less than the cost of a modest apartment in TO. I miss some aspects, but I can't see myself going back.

Reason why those construction projects are never finished is quite simple: If you’re being paid by the hour, you can jeopardize your income by finishing it too quickly. What they’re doing is wringing out as much money from those that contracted them, whether it be private or gov’t. I remember being part of a construction crew and I suggested to my boss, “Hey, we can finish this in one day if we whip out the excavator!” And my boss looked at me and said, “Nah, we’re paid hourly. Let’s bring out the shovels instead. Oh, and don’t forget to be slow and methodical about doing it too.” I was confused at first but then I realized what they were doing but I went along with it because I was kinda naive at the time. It took an entire month doing everything by hand and we took a bunch of breaks and because of that, we got paid a bunch. Had we knocked it out of the park within a few days, we probably wouldn’t have gotten paid as much. It’s pretty scummy, and looking back at it now I’m kinda ashamed. This sort of stuff happens all the time especially in major cities and highways. The politicians that hire these sorts of companies don’t really care because they’re probably friends with the boss and furthermore it’s taxpayer money and never their own. If it was coming out of their own pocket, they might be more apprehensive and cautious, and look at other options, better alternatives but politicians really don’t care because the money that they’re spending is not their own. I remember a story a few years back where a public restroom in NYC took years and millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars to complete. It’s insane. If I found out that it took millions to make one small public restroom, I’d freak out. Any normal person would probably freak out as well. And it spawned a conspiracy theory that alleged that the restroom project was a money laundering scheme.
As usual, proper men and women get screwed by the rich and greedy grow gluttonous

I live in Montreal and the thing is it’s quite the same as Toronto but I’m sure the rent and taxes are a bit better. Lots of people here are for sure quite nice to talk to.

Man i was actually hoping i would be able to meet you some day you’re my fave news teller 😢 your toronto fans will miss you, wish you the best bro
I’ll come back to Toronto still to visit
Toronto is home to 2 million people in the city proper, while the greater Toronto area is home to 6 million people, or 44.4 percent of Ontario’s total population of 14.5 million people
@@n.zx21 that's cool but noone asked
@@rfspilot no one needs to ask if they can say something 😂
@@truly556 never said they did, they're just saying facts about Toronto for no reason
As someone who's lived in Montreal most of their life, shit ain't that much better here.
Oooo I knew you'd pick Montreal! I truly hope you'll be able to find a safer and more lively environment and a better home there man. Please stay safe.
Born and raised on Toronto. NEVER EVER imagined leaving. I moved 4 years ago because I could see what was happening. It's looking like new York circa 80s. It makes me sad
This isn't Toronto. This is some American city invented by Rob and Doug.
@@krismctopher7uh no....toronto is a liberal ndp city. So much so its held up both the feseral and provincial parties of both. The problems here didn't come from a 4 years period. It came from all the years both the liberals and ndp had their way.
And you think its bad now? Wait untill olivia chow gets going. We wont be like new york, we'll be like sanfransisco.
@@joeposteraros Name two items on Olivia Chow's agenda.
@@krismctopher7 close more of the gardener so that thise traveling will face even longer commute times, raise property taxes and to use the city as general contractor to waste hundreds of million of dollars.
But just wait until the proliferation of safe injection sites start, and the special poverty housing programs start....like when her her husband and their buddies got the province to place 80% of the provinces ontario housing in Scarborough....it was so successful it turned a blue collar middle class city into a crime ridden festering shithole in less than 10 years, and 40 years later it still hasn't recovered. All the while cutting off any real transit for that area.
She's a cancer.
@@joeposterarosLOL ....ok
as an Indonesian, I can relate on "under construction but never finish's anything" 😞
Same bro but rn it's now finishing fast like my nearby highway being done
As a filipino, its "under construction but never finishes unless an election is near then it is 50% done"
As a makassarese I can agree
@@a55kiko74 as a Filipino I can also relate to "already done then broken up to redo"
Yeah same
We moved from Norway to Spain and are having the best time ever 🎉
Wishing you a great move and a good life 😊
I live in Toronto and everything this man is saying is true ngl. Also abt the 1 bedroom apartment it’s even MORE! Ridiculous but I am also leaving soon to this place called Croaita. It’s looks amazing and beautiful can’t wait
As a bosnian yes Croatia is VERY beautiful just when you come watch out with the food you eat when i went i got horrible stomach illness had to get shots it was that bad
I’m from Croatia and if you want to be away from the stress you are going to the right place. It is so beautiful
@@lucasistoast9739 I have family close to Zagreb I'm going to visit for the first time. I speak Croatian so I think it's going to be a really great fun trip. Croatia looks so beautiful!
Bro pretty much summed up every major city in the United States
And thats where he's headed
not 50 years ago. wonder what changed?
Me and my parents moved away like 7 years ago. When I asked them why we moved about 5 years ago they said that it was gonna become a bad place to live soon. They really guessed the future.
Where did you all go? Your parents are smart
I am from Montreal and I feel the same way about the city. I can’t wait to leave it and never go back.
There was a construction site near my high school and it started the same year I started. I finished university and they’re still doing construction 😭
You graduated ahead of the construction. I joked to my friend many years ago that we'd be able to go from one end of the city to the other in our 50s. We're now in our 50s and it's still not happening with Eglinton Crosstown or, what I'd dubbed as the nightmare of Eglinton.
@@aisumelef211i live at Yonge and Eglinton and I’ve completely given up hope lol you’re right.
😂😂😂
To people who dont know what the french is in the end it means: I will see you all in the beautiful Montréal
Montreal isn't any better. He's dreaming in technicolor believing that Montreal is the Promise Land.
😂 good luck with that. Montréal is literally the french version of Toronto. Although subway is slightly better the traffic is even worse. You're not even allowed to make a right turn on a red light and EVERYWHERE is crowded
Dou lingual Canadiens oui
@@YZER19you cheer for a team in a warzone
Have a nice time💀
I had to move out of the city shortly before the pandemic hit. I wasn't happy to be leaving Toronto at the time, but now looking back, I'm glad I did when I did.
you live rn?
" The things are always under construction and nothing gets built" The drive in downtown Toronto is a nightmare
As a canadian, I confirm this is all true.
You have a DSi?
I moved out of the GTA 8 years ago to a rural place and I am so thrilled about my decision. I own my own home, have an 8 min drive to work, and I have great friends that I can actually spend time with outside of work.
Where do u live now? I am planning to move. I am stressed😢
@@souravchowdhury1823I know him personally and he lives in Detroit now 😁
U must’ve not liked GTA 5
@@souravchowdhury1823 I moved in with my guy. All I'll say is out east, because too many city people have taken interest recently and its putting stress on the community.
Yeah, inflation really is crazy! Hope you find Montreal a good city, good luck it’s your moving/gravels, stay safe, and take your time! Moving might be stressful? I don’t know. Take care! And thanks for the hard created content!
I remember when my parents who were basically retired moved out of Toronto in the west end Etobicoke to be precise back in 1998 they were paying $650 for a large 2 bedroom apartment that was under rent control where the landlord and owner of that apartment building couldn't raised my parents rent. Not even up a $1. My family was originally from New Brunswick. My parents and brothers and a sister moved to Toronto in 1964, a year before I was born in Toronto of 1965. So, 34 years later of living in Toronto, my parents decided it's time to go back home to Saint John NB. They are both gone now, my parents, but I still remember that apartment they had in Etobicoke of Toronto. So to hear this young man in this video saying it cost $2,600 for a one bedroom apartment astonishes me 😮 Wow ! And I don't live in Toronto either. I moved out of Toronto around the same time my parents moved out. And I haven't lived in Toronto since then.
I live in Vancouver, I was born and raised here. Our housing is so crazy expensive. Transportation isn't bad but it's too expensive. The only reason that I am still in Vancouver is because I work in the film industry.
Car Insurance is a b in Vancouver cause of ICBC needing you to get the car insured under your name rather than the person insured no matter what car they drive which is what they do in eastern Canada.
@@rabeechowdhury it is, I owe ICBC so I can't drive until I pay them back
@Matt THX damn, you figured out my secret. Hahaha

Inshallah your move is smooth and you finally can live in a place with less stress ❤
Even if the traffic in your commuting area is moving and so much stop and go, the constant stress of thinking every milli-seconds of safety, unexpected road hazzards like A-hole drivers, pot holes, pedestrian, cyclists, "E-Scoots all over the place will drive you crazy in the end. Its never a pleasant drive anymore since 1984 (dystopian culture)
Bro explained Romanian cityes in one take.💀
That's just Bucharest and other major cities
Iași( where I live) isn't all that bad
amin
I've been to Bucharest and it is not that bad at all.
