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.

Im a 4th generation toronto resident. My great grandparents moved here in the late 1800s. Seeing the state of the city now is extremely depressing compared to when my parents were kids
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.
Once you move from the city to the country, you realize why people choose the simple life in the country. I moved 100 miles East from Dallas 60 miles from Shreveport. Prices are cheaper. People are friendlier and best of all zero traffic compared. I go visit the city to party, but at the end of the night, I'm more than ready to get the hell out of the Matrix or giant human/sheep farm.

@@Ebits21 I live in the GTA. It’s not as safe as you think. Did you miss out on all of the random acts of violence going on at TTC stations, buses, subways and streetcars. I was physically assaulted on the bus, broad daylight, this winter. No one did anything to help. 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. There was that lovely group of eight 13 to 16 year old girls who swarmed and stabbed a homeless man to death. Shall I keep going? If I could afford to leave, I would.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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

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
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.
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.
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 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.
😂 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

ive been to toronto multiple times and i can agree that toronto is the city of stress
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

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 😂

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 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.

For all of you who want to know the English translation of what he said at the end:
He said “I’ll see you all in beautiful Montreal”
Edit: yes I used google translate. I don’t speak French
thank you
He did misspell dans tho
Get stuck with stupid bureaucracy of French, lack of family doctors and long emergency room waits
Live in Toronto since 1997. At that time was no traffic. About rent - prices was reasonable, plus pay first month and get last month free, or get free big screen TV.
Now, it's very hard to live here... 🤔
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
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
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?
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.
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
Well said well said!
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.
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

Have a nice time💀
I live in Canada, I know how hard it is NOW. Usually in Toronto now, if you book a room that has 2 or 3 bedrooms it costs about $3,250 on average.
Very true!!! Born and raised here and do not recognize my great city anymore.
@Cavachoncx3 ok
Kudos to you, I live in Toronto and it’s just sad to see the state it is in.
It's not in a state, it's in a Province. It's Canada. ;)

Unfortunately, it's like this all thru Canada right now. I live in Calgary and it's getting ridiculous here too.
same here in vancouver
@@jerryzhang4460 it's insane right?!
@@leahsyl81 💯 The colour of the city changed from large sidewalks with green all around you to the city looking like downtown everywhere filled with random garbage piles
@@jerryzhang4460I heard the houses here cost 1M dollars. Is that true
@@okobox9999 If you buy a independent house. It needs to be really bad or small to be under 1 million CAD. However, if you buy and apartment home, it's usually less than a million CAD. Two main causes: The government (BC is NDP party) prints and hands out free money to poor people and causes inflation espesically during covid. Vancouver is a place where retired rich people comes and spends money to enjoy it's utilities. Et (Sea view Houses, Restrauants, Education for their children...........
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
