Vancouver edgier and more gritty than Toronto? That's the first time I've ever heard anyone say such a thing! Take a walk around Kensington Market and tell me Toronto is bland.
Anyway...

I think it's just that I know my city too well but there definitely are areas which are gritty and "unorganized" which you claim to be non-existant. I think most tourists don't even venture outside the immediate downtown core where all the shiny new green glass buildings are going up because there's simply no incentive to leave the area.. (CN tower, rogers center, ACC etc) are all in that general area. I encourage you to visit neighborhoods such as The Annex, the Beaches, little italy, greektown, korea town, corso italia, little portugal, liberty village, high park, the junction, anywhere east of the don river, high park, forest hill, and parkdale before making such claims because there definitely is character, and there most definitely is culture and a sense of identity. People are so quick to pass Toronto off.
you see these are the kinda things i like to here not all that bull**** before from those americans, NOW as chikid thats one of the best i've heard, and true thats why most americans i know dunt really have interest in toronto, thats because its very much like NYC and they's are fed up of it, and true you said to that we have neighborhoods not organized as well. BTW people only visit downtown downtown like where the tall skyline is, they have to go to like Liberty village, the annex (my fav), fashion district, entertainment district, high park, just as you said, like you know kinda of NYA, montreal London in one. we have to show them that.

Chicago is the more modern city, Toronto is a world center. They are both Great Lakes cities and thats a plus to them both!
