[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I will not caution you about moving here because I love my life here. It is expansive, My TH cost me 1.2+ in a desirable area. We chose the least sought after school pyramid in our hood by choice and are very happy with it. The cost of living is higher but you get generally great schools, weather, internationally aware population, good restaurants, outdoorsy, scenic, many recreational opportunities, kids friendly (excellent community services for kids) and more. Here's what I don't like, you don't get much housing for the price, traffic is terrible during rush hour, a lot times during non rush hour, I've seen better public transport. And for all those people telling you "don't move here it's terrible," ask yourself this, why haven't they left? I know, because of their 'jobs.' People are mostly frustrated here because of housing affordability not because of luck of appeal. [/quote] Key words here, PP's home cost 1.2 million. OP's budget is half that, so her experience will not be the same. [/quote]
