Hi I just wanted to drop by and share my experience with a city that some of you might be looking at, but that doesn't even own its own section here. I've lived for 4 years in Quebec City and my experience there has been pretty bad.
Of course, I can't speak about all neighborhoods, but I can definitely say that the people I came across there were childish, intrusive and become aggressive very fast when put in front of a problem. One apartment I've been in I got harassed within 2 months with a neighbors that purposely did noise and other things to annoy me, on top of being threatening, and the landlords were on board with them because they were friends, sending me fancy letters and banging doors saying I was "in conflict" with the neighbors, while all I did was talk to them once asking nicely if they could put the volume down. I could point out agressive, zealous and intrusive behavior with two other landlords as well.
I can definitely say that people there aren't afraid of the law either. They know what they can get away with and they will abuse it to annoy you. They are of "bad faith" and will do anything to annoy you and pretend like they didn't do it on purpose. Even grown adults lie in your face like childs. The cops weren't too helpful either and we're on tilt as well.
The people I knew there ended up being mostly cowards and liars as well. These people will go a long way to make you feel welcome (dinner, help with moving, nice promises, etc.) only to then turn their back on you when you need it. Don't be fooled by the "joie de vivre" (joyful) mood of the people there because as soon as you run into the smallest problems or if you trigger jealousy in them, they transform into the most zealous and childish people ever. It's easy to get fooled I tell you (I did), but don't.
My advice: Leave them alone. Don't go there. Or if you do, you've been warned. What a ridiculous place Quebec City was. You will thank me later.
Note: I'm from Montreal. At least here people have a life, mind their own business and try to do something positive.
You seem to be basing much of your dislike of Quebec City on your interactions with the people in your immediate apartment block, how did you find the rest of the Quebec City experience once out of the Apartment ?

Just because they went out of their way to make you feel welcome, doesn't mean they owe you a kidney.
Where did you live? In some of the trashy college apartments in the lowtown?
This sounds entirely like you had a bunch of jerk neighbours. I've spent a lot of time living in QC (mind you, mostly in the Montcalm neighbourhood) and haven't dealt with any of that.

Are you the same skin color?
Racism is everywhere in every country...
It's alive and well don't listen to what people tell you, that it no longer exists...
tl;dr version: OP moves to Quebec City, gets involved in conflicts with all neighbors, landlords, cops and other people he/she meets, concludes QC is the problem (not him/her), moves back to Montreal.

Ugh, stop trolling dude. Randomly pulling the race card in inappropriate situations does a disservice to people who have to address real issues involving racial discrimination. I know you're just being inflammatory, but it wastes real good will to deal with a sometimes important issue. Find another wedge.
