I haven't been to TO in 5-6 years but even then I remember it being this ugly sprawling city with no real core or draw for me.
Two things people so vastlyyyyyy take for granted living in Vancouver:
The Mountains
The Ocean
Of course if you just live inside your condo and play video games all day who cares where you live.
Seattle also is a fucking dump compared to Van, and as far as I've seen/been told. The nicer areas are no where near the city's core. So your accessibility is extremely limited.
And as far as a "homeless problem" goes, seattle is wayyyyy worse than Van. I've honestly felt safer walking the streets of St.petersburg at night not knowing the language than walking bar to bar in seattles "core"

so toronto isn't your thing for you and your friends, ok.
but a metro which shares the same neck of woods as the city you're praising can be considered to be a dump? Mountains and oceans aren't exclusive to Vancouver
