        Torontonian here - housing cost is out of control. News articles downplay it, saying “you only have to make 70k/year to live comfortably in Toronto”. This is completely false. I lived this. 70k/year in Toronto might get you a bachelor apartment at 1700/month. Plus utilities, plus groceries, plus internet/phone (yes you need this in order to get a job anywhere). Plus saving for retirement. tl;dr: unless you come from a wealthy family or are already significantly wealthy without having to rely on a job, Toronto is not an easy place to live. Beautiful, safe, and friendly, but at high cost. Job market is not great right now either. Companies are not all hiring remotely.
