General Suburban Updates and Rumours

I agree with everything else you're saying except this. I grew up in Waterloo and live in Kitchener and would be reluctant to move back.

The Accelerator Centre is in Waterloo. Communitech's Data Hub was intentionally opened in Waterloo, there's some political stuff behind it sure but Communitech started in Waterloo. Magnet Forsensics, perhaps the first Canadian tech company to IPO in several years is in Waterloo. BlackBerry is still a massive company, and is in Waterloo. Descartes, Auvik, etc. Velocity's main presence is on the UW campus.

Kitchener is more desirable for local tech companies, and very much for the reasons you say. But "all" is incorrect and it does diminish the work Waterloo the city has done and still does in a way that doesn't add value to your general argument.
