All great points. That’s right. I immigrated to Canada 8 years ago and I obviously see the changes as you mentioned. New immigrants should think twice before making their final decision. All you advised in the video is %100 correct. I’ve been watching Canadian moving outside Toronto up north to at least have the same quality of life they used to have for years. Non-employment rate is low but not a lot of immigrants enjoy their life as they used to do in their hometown. Starting a business is a great idea but still takes time for immigrants to get integrated to the society prior to starting their own business or corporation. One good thing I like in Toronto is diversity. Many cultures are present in Toronto and GTA. So people are learning other cultures, foods, etc while living in one city. Rich people can enjoy their life any where in the world. Many of I know they just come to get Canadian passport. Talking about passport, recently some minor restrictions has been applied to Canadians travelling to the Europe . Lol Great job making this useful video. 🙏

[@Kaygee79]

Thanks for your insight as a recent immigrant to Canada. For sure it may take some time to build up a business if you come here hence why I was suggesting to team up at first to make the financial burden less painful. Then you can hopefully create some momentum and go from there. Again before even coming can you do the same or better where you already are. If so then got to ask yourself why are you uprooting? What is the minor restrictions for travelling to Europe now? Is it that electronic entry thing you have to do now? Or is it something different?

Hey Kaygee! It was very interesting to learn more about Canada and Toronto. The bike lane situation can cause problems in the UK too, and while I like that they are trying to make life safer and easier and more convenient for cyclists, it only makes congestion worse for cars. I haven't heard the term '15 minute city' before. I'm not sure I know what to think about it. There seems to be pros and cons, but ultimately I think life could get very borning if we never go out of our immediate area. Thanks for sharing this interesting topic!

[@Kaygee79]

Yes, the bike situation is a big dilemma for sure. I personally think they should only be put where there is no reduction in car lanes and minimal impact. Otherwise keep them in parks and bike trails etc. Until a replacement for cars is fully in place and up and running allow the vehicles to move as efficiently as possible. As for the 15 minute city I think it is a horrible idea because it ends up isolating everyone as well. If you don't leave your area you don't mingle and mix as much, everything becomes territorial in a way, and for someone like me, I grew up driving into the downtown core and parking down there and enjoying the time there, then driving home. And people from all over did that, came into the core and left. With the 15 minute city style that diversity in who moves around the city freely reduces. It won't go away but it makes it less attractive to want to go into there as you can't even find anywhere to park. Also imagine how uniform and cookie cutter the entire city will look as all neighbourhoods will be designed almost the same. So there is no unique feel or culture left in the areas, so they lose their charm. You could live anywhere in the world after that and it will all look the same. It's kind of sad. If you search 15 minute city you can see the plans for that type of construction. This is a topic that can go into a lot more depth for sure!

[@timothyrday1390]

They've been doing the same thing with bicycle lanes in US cities for years now. They just restrict easier access to vehicles while there is no big shift in the population to bike riding. It's absurd. Places like the Netherlands actually do bike lanes correctly so they don't interfere with vehicle traffic, but the urban spaces are much more concentrated. It doesn't make as much sense in North American cities, but we can't even do it right anyway.

[@Kaygee79]

Wow, I didn't realize it was happening in the US as well. That is so annoying. For sure the exact same thing here, there is way too much infrastructure designed for the vehicle owner and a lot of ground to typically cover to get from A to B and they just chew it up in Toronto with the bike lanes. No where near the ratio to justify such an imbalance. The worst is when they shrink down the roads here to 1 lane. I can't understand that one at all. Minimum 2 just incase you have to get around a accident, car waiting to turn, stalled vehicle etc. Common sense has completely disappeared here!

Great video. I don't own a car and I was born here.

[@Kaygee79]

Thanks brother! Hey you're ahead of your time without the car lol! This is the direction of the inner Toronto going forward! I just hope the transit improves a lot in the years to come. I have been to many other cities like Paris, London, Tokyo etc. and I come back here dreaming of a day we could have something similar!

[@gforgabby]

I hear a lot of what you're saying, especially since I grew up here too. I think one thing I have a new perception on, is the bike/transit vs. car issue. Now I've *never* been a pro-bike person, to be honest with you. I only started looking at things differently when I saw how some countries who have a lower national GDP than us have a higher standard of living based on having more bike/transit options. Their quality of living surpasses ours to such a level it's embarassing for me to even acknowledge. And the interesting thing is that it's not about taking cars away, but creating an infrastructure that allows citizens to choose which mode of transportation they prefer. Interestingly, most choose bikes/transit/walking, which frees up their roads tremendously. Imagine having to deal w only half the amount of traffic as you do now when you're driving around town! Not an easy/quick change to implement, of course, but imagine how the standard of living increases even for say, the elderly, if they can easily walk/transit to where they need to go rather than have to figure out who will drive them or if they can afford to uber. I'm lucky my parents are still able to drive, but I know one day they won't be able to. 😕 If you're at all curious, you can check out the Not Just Bikes channel, run by a guy who grew up in Ottawa, Ontario and lived in Toronto for years. But only if you want to take the red pill (Matrix reference). All in all, great video as always, and thank you for posting! 🙌🙌🙌

[@Kaygee79]

Thanks for taking the time to give such an in depth comment. I truly appreciate it! I will also go take a red pill on that bike channel you mentioned! I have been to other countries my self where the various forms of traffic all run in a efficient manner but that is surely not the case here. They will layer traffic, have robust transit already in place and not have everyone splitting the same roads for transportation. London is great, Paris is great, Tokyo is amazing, I've been to all of these places, Toronto is no where close. You also have to remember the fact that we have Winter season so the bike lanes have minimal use for many months of the year and it's also harder to move the snow out of the way when you have these barricaded bike lanes in place. Also reducing lanes like Bloor and Danforth down to one lane roads is in my opinion a targeted war on the cars. One accident and no one can move or go around. I would say a minimum of 2 lanes should remain where they already exist so cars can get around. Also if there are above ground light rails I would say to have it like the Scarborough RT above the ground, but also with a roof to protect it from the Winter snow fall. For sure if the options are there and everything can work together that is optimal, but I don't see the current plan showing any equality towards car traffic. It is targeted to discourage it, before any robust transit infrastructure is in place to drastically reduce car traffic. Also remember when they make that 15 minute city set up, there still has to be delivery trucks coming in each and every day to supply all the retail, food stores etc. in the core and drop off what is needed supply wise. So traffic needs catering for sure. Currently with all the construction there are always big concrete trucks etc blocking all the roads so it is a disaster zone downtown. Glad you put this comment so the discussion can be had! :)

[@gforgabby]

Let me know what you think once you take the red pill. 🙃

[@Kaygee79]

@@gforgabby I watched the video you mentioned and it was a great history lesson. Obviously he leans towards a city that is more transit friendly but I don't agree with the methods they are using to make that happen. Especially the LRT's unless they are layered above or below current roads. Also I am not a fan of bike lanes if they reduce car lanes in order to implement them. He also mentions that the suburbs was built to be car dependent so if that is the case we don't currently have the transit infrastructure to replace the reliance on cars. So why are we already causing changes to vehicle traffic to make it worse before the infrastructure is in place for that? So it is going to be a war. And there will be people for cars and people against it. As a car driver I will look for results that benefit a car driver, if in harmony with other modes of transportation great, but at the expense of cars I will fight against it. I want to be able to maximize according to the mode I choose be it cars or transit. Right now for work this is horrible for me during work hours. Off hours I live by the subway so I am ok to take transit in the off hours, so it's a dilemma for sure!

[@gforgabby]

Completely get what you're saying. Like I said I have never been pro-bike lanes myself, bc the way I've seen them implemented are definitely in direct conflict w car traffic. It's a mess! Having said that, another thing that really struck me was how expensive car infrastructure is. Not only that, but that they're actually bankrupting our cities. The Not Just Bikes channel has a great series on Strong Towns that talks about this. And no matter how we cut it, the fact is that our current infrastructure (Canada and the States, at least) is unsustainable financially. And to be clear, the Netherlands where he lives wasn't always built that way. It only started happening when citizens protested in the 70s bc of the increased amount of pedestrian fatalities due to cars. He has a video on why car drivers also love driving in the Netherlands as opposed to US or Canada (simply bc of the smaller amount of traffic). I'm very impressed that you took the time to watch one of those videos though. It's a testament to how open and inclusive you are. Thank you for responding! 🙏🙏🙏😊

[@Kaygee79]

@@gforgabby Hey I am all for a solution that benefits all modes of transportation, I don't see that here. I would love driving if there were a lot less cars on the road too! Maybe I should just move to the Netherlands where it is already in place! Lol, this is not happening here for a very long time! For sure I took the time to watch, I never shy away from different viewpoints and perspectives, as long as we're all moving in a constructive and solution oriented direction these are the best discussions to have!

[@mayuko32134]

I came to Canada from Japan Many people come to canada 🇨🇦 So its hard to make rules for everybody to follow😅 I try hard to adjust

[@Kaygee79]

Yes many people do come to Canada. Before most people wanted to stay, now many people want to go back to their home country! It's not just making the rules for people, but also giving them the opportunity to have a good life here like the people who have come here in the past. Right now it is very hard to do so! Also I would like to say thanks to you for making the Thumbnail for my video! It is wonderful! :)

[@jhingosala]

Are you recommending not to move to TO? Seems like monthly expense is roughly $4k for basic living (rent being $2200). This would translate to $72K a year pre tax with having no social life. Seems like a tough life! Is it hard to make $72 K a year?

[@Kaygee79]

Well my suggestion in the video is to compare your quality of life, where you are now and what you're coming to. I start speaking on that at 15:00 of the video. So for your example, let me give you my thought. If you take 72k a year, take this money and divide it in half right away. So that would be 36k. So what you would be able to get for 36k about 10 years ago, more or less is what you're going to get making 72k now. The value of the money has drastically gone down. So 10 years ago 36k would have been very tight living and survival in Toronto, well that is now what 72k will get you. As for the jobs, if you had a job that paid you 36k 10 years ago at the most you probably gone up to 46k assuming it is the same job, in general terms. So you need a better paying job to begin with. Now there are jobs that pay 72k a year but you need to have some sort of qualifications or specialty to command a higher salary in a job. Now if you want to actually save up some money for other things, like eventually buy and own a car then you need to supplement the 72k so you can put some money aside as well. If you were making 72k 10 years ago you could have put some money aside and saved up for a down payment towards a condo or a house, you need to make a whole lot more today to have the same kind of future. This is the point I'm trying to get across in the video. You can surely have a life here but it is modified compared to the value you would have got in the past, so you need to come in with a mindset to make more than 72k a year if you want to get ahead. Otherwise assume you're coming in with the equivalent of a 36k job from 10 years ago. It's only a starter job, you need to up your money drastically if you want to get past the basics of surviving here. Does that make sense to you?

Toronto is a nightmare city. Please do not come here or your life will be hard. The buses are disgusting now full of new immigrants and Indian students coming from crowded basements where they are ripped off.

[@Kaygee79]

This city is horrible these days and the decline has been quite steady and rapid. You're paying thousands of dollars a month to live in a basement where as in the past with that kind of money you could easily pay a rent and save up a down payment towards your own house in the future. Now people barely survive and what kind of a city do they get in return to even live in. Toronto is a dead place. Life has been sucked out of this place.
