What I love about Montréal is the many green spaces. What I hate about Montréal is the lack of public transport in certain part of the city for the people who arguably need it the most.

[@TheNewTravel]

That's interesting, what area do you think needs transit most?

[@lovelyprocrastinator1708]

@@TheNewTravel Definitely the north and the east. I used to live in Saint-Leonard on the limit of Mtl-Nord and Anjou. Just for an example, as a teenager I had to walk 10 min to the bus stop, then stand in a crowded bus for another 25-45min (depending on the traffic and/or weather) just to get to the metro. Thankfully my family and I moved to Laval 10 years ago and now it takes me 30-35min to go in downtown Montreal with public transportation. We don’t really “need” a car anymore. One thing that I can always see is that the PIE-IX bus is always full, rush hour or not. A lot of people don’t have cars because it’s too expensive. I think it only reflects the need that these neighborhoods have. I personally don’t think I could live again in Montreal unless they have more efficient transit for the north/east (the only affordable location where I would live)

3:34 I agree with this guy finally someone talk about this problem Montreal have so much potential to be one of the best cities in North America if the city was more walkable and have more bicycle infrastructure not just Streets made exclusively for cars with little to no bike lanes

[@TheNewTravel]

🚶 > 🚙

[@mildredmelusine6970]

The funny thing is that we began to build roads into bicycle pathways and the residents complain they have no where to park anymore. Also, his i Yale’s are only useful for a few months of the year, because it’s too snowy to use anything other than busses or cars the rest of the time.

[@cedriclasry9151]

this is a city which spends half the year under snow, making cycling as an exclusive method of transit to certain areas unfeasible and dangerous. Many parts of our city were constructed long before cars became as common as they are, making it difficult to accomodate parking, driving, cycling and walking. The harsh reality for the majority of residents here, including in the the more central areas like the pateau and old port, is that our workplaces are often at a distance only accessible by public transport or personal vehicle. If you look at what was done on major arteries like St Denis, adding bike lanes on both sides and closing driving lanes, this greatly increased congestion and made things like public works, deliveries and emergencies far more disruptive to the common flow of traffic. I understand that walkability and cyclability are great to have in city centers but it must be done with prudence and attention to the needs of the area. Mayor Plante has made these changes more for public image than practicality and it shows. All that being said, there are some instances of rational application of this principle, for example turning mount royal ave. into a pedestrian only road during the summer only was an excellent initiative because the business there can work with it and there are convenient alleyways that allow for things like deliveries and public services to continue unhindered. There is right and wrong way to reduce personal vehicle traffic and it is not always evident.

[@pretzelboi64]

Certain places need to be upgraded but the city is pretty walkable already. It's basically set up as a grid which slows down traffic massively and allows for easy navigation as a pedestrian. The guy @1:27 made that very point in fact. The city really is a grid-like structure

[@adamszanyi2242]

As a Montrealer, I have to say that the Algerian fellow and Louis are spot on. Only 15 years ago, Montreal lived up to its reputation of being kinda wild (at least in some sense). Now, in the name of safety, everything has to be administered and the population internalized that. Even jaywalking is becoming a rarity, giving more symbolic authority to cars. Spontaneous gatherings are less likely to occur; events are too well organized within the confine of a ticketed perimeter with guarded access points. The city is drawing 'hip' and pricey businesses everywhere who often value a nice façade over the quality of their products. Long story short, it's too damn ''clean''! The Covid restrictions accelerated this process, even if the city is finally bouncing back. That said, it's still one the best cities in North America for livability and culture. Also, the river is awesome (especially when you learn to take advantage of it)!

[@TheNewTravel]

Very interesting... I still see a wild side with all the graffiti and alternative lifestyles you see in the city. But maybe as you say it used to be more!

[@TheWaross]

Yep, there is something to be said about one of the greatest aspect of city life is this slight chaotic messy nature that creates life. But like you pointed out, the more a city becomes "hip" or gentrify, the more it is likely to become cookie cutter. Which in turns is amplified by NIMBYs that desire safety and predictability in their neighborhood

[@SF-lu2dr]

It's interesting, but you described what has happened to Berlin, Germany. Despite being oceans apart, I feel both cities are sister cities regarding freedom and alternative living. However, it has been through a "cleaning" process that was accelerated by the pandemic. Such a shame, I hope that's just a phase and our beloved cities can shine in their weirdness again someday!

I didn't know many people in Montréal, but it was an amazing city and I enjoyed it regardless.

[@philplasma]

There are a lot of things about Montreal that I love, the festivals, that public transit works very well (for me, from where I live), the diversity of people, the multilingualism, the European feel at least as compared to so many other cities in North America. Like the guy with the stick and the dog I also like all four seasons and feel safe everywhere in the city I ever go. I like that we have cultural sites, like the OSM, Museum of Fine Arts, etc. that a smaller city wouldn't have. I like the parks, especially Mount Royal but also Jarry and La Fontaine. I would say that the roads and construction sites are what I hate, but since I became carless three years ago I don't feel that pain anymore. Another question you could ask people, 'what do you think would make our city better?' I'd be curious to see what others answer to that, though it would be a question for Montrealers more than it would be for tourists.

[@marian8910]

I lived in Edmonton for 16 years, Toronto for 9 years, visited Montreal for 6 weeks and also visited Vancouver and Calgary. In my opinion Montreal offers the best balance for daily life. Though Toronto and Vancouver are great the astronomical cost of living disqualifies them as livable cities. The best thing about Edmonton is that it is the most affordable major city in Canada. But Edmonton is not very lively and it isn't walkable at all except for a small area in and around downtown. Housing isn't cheap in Montreal but it isn't insanely expensive. It's a fairly walkable city. There are plenty of areas in the city where you could live and easily get by relying solely on public transit. It is very lively, especially in the summer. The airport is very well connected. Understandably the Edmonton airport doesn't have as many direct flights to destinations. I do just like the more European culture that is in Montreal. If you have school aged children there are a lot of good public K-12 schools and if you can afford it there are a lot good private schools. A lot of people in Montreal know both French and English, so if you raise your children there its likely they will also speak both. And while I was in Montreal I got the impression in that city, or perhaps this is a Quebecois trait, they seem to care about children. Some cities I've been to in my life it seems like the culture is very anti-child, like children are a nuisance, children are annoying, they don't want them in public spaces. Montreal has a stronger family-oriented culture as compared to some other cities. Lastly, I love how green the city is and it's proximity to the water. Having not actually moved there I'm sure there are negatives as well like traffic, aging infrastructure, the state of the health care system, bureaucracy .

[@tinapetrovicz9741]

I love Montreal. I live a little over an hour away, and visit often, more lately because my daughter lives there. The people are warm and have a live and let live attitude (loved Arjin's "don't give a fuck"). The city is really designed for people compared to other Canadian cities. The neighbours that I have visited are very walkable, with most services not a long distance and have green spaces. There are not lots of high rises but a very good amount of density. My daughter lives in a triplex of highrises but they have their own park which includes an outdoor play area, splash pad, pool and landscaped quiet seating areas. And the rent is affordable, unlike Ottawa., The Metro is fantastic (again unlike Ottawa). I love that I can go to Montreal, park my car and get around without using it during my visit, fot the most part. And the food, art, festivals!!!!
