Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
Clean out your bong!
Pittsburgh and Cleveland have more in common with the Toronto (in terms of size, demography, population, geography) than Manhattan, London or Paris. Or Seoul or Bangkok.
Pity that you would compare our traffic to Manhattan, which has St. Jamestown's density up and down its length. I'd rather compare our traffic to more 'modern cities,' thanks. London and Paris' issues have everything to do with their age (1,000+ years) and their doubled size.
Pittsburgh has a city population of 312,819 (Metro: 2,400,000) and a density of 2,174 people per sq km. Cleveland has a city population of 478,403 (metro: 2,250,000) and a density of 2380 people per sq km. Toronto has a city population of 2,503,281 (Metro: 4,700,000) and a density of 3,972 people per sq km. I don't see how your comparison adds up.
Toronto also ranks way higher in pretty much every single livability metric, except for maybe highways construction.
Toronto is not a New York or a London, sure, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look at how they operate as successful cities. Do you really think Toronto would be better off if it were more like Cleveland?
