Different strokes.
I vastly prefer city life, night life, fine dining, socializing, etc. over nature. I'm also pretty career-oriented so it fits my lifestyle. I still think Vancouver is a much nicer city, cleaner, and a little bit better planned... I'd love to move back to be closer to my parents as they get older but I'm at like... $290K income right now and I still don't think I can afford to live in Vancouver (for the size of property that I would want). If I had to live in like Coquitlam, it's totally not the same to me and frankly, I would rather live in a Toronto suburb, keeping my higher pay, than to take a pay cut and live in Coquitlam, Surrey, New West, etc.
Also, Leafs suck and I noticed pretty much only white people watch hockey in Toronto, lol. I'm a visible minority and so the rest of us watch basketball.
