There's actually more money flowing in Montreal (as mtw points out in an adjacent thread) and the cost of living is about 2/3 what you need to live on in Vancouver (and almost half that of Toronto).
That said, it's a lot easier to maintain an exercise routine in Vancouver.
- bentlegen 16y agoToronto is more expensive to live in than Vancouver? I think you have it backwards. Real estate, rent, food prices are all significantly higher in Van-city.
- delano 16y agoI grew up in Vancouver and lived in Toronto more recently, so it's possible things changed significantly. You're probably right about real estate, but that's generally not a factor for startups. Food is definitely not more expensive (unless you're shopping in Yaletown). You can find all you can eat sushi for $10 (that's decent) and for $13 that's better than the $20 places in Toronto (and Montreal). Also, there's japadog and delicious korean / indian food. There are other factors at play: you can bike regularly because it's much more prevalent and safer in Vancouver. In Toronto, you need to have a car or at least a TTC pass ($121.00 vs $81 in Vancouver, $70 in Montreal).
