Population and Housing

[plam]

Wider streets in Montreal -- also legal to park on streets overnight. Unlike Waterloo region, where on-street parking is frowned upon. Helps that more people use PT to move around. Subway wheels are rubber. Montreal is a nice city. They have a different attitude, though it helps that it is a historical city. Lots of good, high quality, older buildings there. Around here, still lots of cheap builds, especially in the university area.

Probably the most urban city in Canada. It can be politically complicated (I grew up there). I think rubber Metro wheels are overrated, it was still really bumpy when I commuted to high school. And yes you can park overnight but you have to move your car twice a week in summer (which I think is great, adds friction to car ownership).
