200,000 and higher: good life, specially if you extort rents from newcomers who will never be able to settle and are replaced as disposable paper cups.
100,000-199,000: Worried all the time, and being pushed by your directors to fire people who do not conform, or who get sick, or who get pregnant.
45,000-99,999: awful existence, you are either a mortgage slave, or you are a renter at the mercy of one of the groups above, who have no compassion and will put you, your kids, your pets on the streets whenever they feel like reno-viction time.
0-45,000: If you are not lucky with the subsidized rent lottery, where the chances are one in a million or 10 year long waitlist, you are here temporarily, get four jobs, and count your days.
Awful city, save yourself all the horror stories.
It's good that it's finally on the news:

It's a dire situation and the politicians, often colluding with the greedy who continue to inflate prices, are sitting on their hands watching their "value" grow.
For the rest, the only legal hope is the lottery.
For newcomers to Toronto, who are not coming with a couple million dollars in cash and a 6 figure job offer from a bank, be aware of the following articles from reputable sources:
- Foreign credentials are rarely recognized, or not at all.

I have met doctors who found jobs transporting patients or in call centers. They get tired, they leave, and they are replaced by other newcomers.
- Even local university graduates have issues finding jobs
https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/millennial-jobs-education-1.4009295
More often they have to compete with people who come from outside and will take lower salaries for the same positions.
- Renting a place is severely not affordable, it will eat half of your salary or more

I'm guessing you suffer from sever rejection syndrome..no wonder.
There are 20K working girls in this city and you can bang a 9/10 hottie for couple hundo.
Quality of life in Toronto is VERY GOOD if you get with the program.
Do you call a city not good for living just because women don't pay attention to you? OMG! LOL
It seems you are having hard time dating a woman. Ok, well, it's not everything in life. Most people have their own families, are married or have a partner, so why should they make eye contact or smile at a stranger?
I believe people at Toronto are very respectful and rspect eachother's privacy.
Good Luck!
Believe me, you will have a much better life in Europe or Dubai or even staying in Kuwait. Maybe you are a hard working mid-eastern man like me, but even if you have everything in the world, Toronto women will destroy it and you will end up living in a shit neighborhood like me. Taxes are high and you can find much higher salaries out west or in Dubai or Luxembourg or even France. Don't believe the index.
Or just do everyone a favour and leave Canada.
Either way works.
