I never went into the city but as a Canadian (Montrealer), I read the news that Toronto might be the next San Francisco because of the widening gap between the rich and the poor, especially that the former is raising its ranks among the global tech hub.
You think I'm just unlucky? Hardly. Think any of that was in particularly bad neighborhoods? Nope, I always avoided those. My experience is what a relatively careful person who sticks to good neighborhoods experiences over a decade. So really, just the tip of the crime iceberg in this otherwise totally beautiful city.
In short. Beware. You are safe nowhere.
Lol. This is worse than any major city I have seen in the world.
-Amazing restaurants, events,museums and cultural events in general
-Very multicultural
-Filled with organic grocery stores with high quality food, yum!
-beautiful buildings and decoration
-I'ts a very authentic city, each neighborhood is so special and different from one another.
-All kinds of interesting people making their dreams a reality
-liberal mindset towards political, social,economic and sexual issues
-There is many beaches and parks near. Hello ocean beach and muir woods :D
-Great transportation and very walk-able.
CONS:
Mainly one, there is an incredible problem with drug addicts and homeless people, and I mean it.It's extremely sad and depressing, specially considering the amount of money that is produced in this city. On one side you have some of the wealthiest people in the world and then you have all this people puking,talking alone and asking for money with their anorexic dogs and children in the middle of the streets.Specially the Tenderloin. (Be aware)
