Boston is my choice. The city really does not get enough credit for its offerings.
IIRC, the average home price in Boston is over 800k now.
Also you have to include in Boston (USA) you have to pay health care costs, ballooning education/school debt, etc.. Healthcare alone can be $8-9k in America for a family of 2.
Thats for a SFH detached home, only 1/5 homes in Boston are that. And honestly you can still buy those in the 450-500k in the areas where they are more common.. in the south of the city

I agree.
And quite frankly, skylines aside, Boston doesn't really feel much smaller than Toronto when actually inside the city, as opposed to looking from the outside.
Boston Latin and all the exam schools are top notch, you also have to factor in that you have schools in Cambridge, Brookline, etc...in the metro area. And living in those areas in not moving to "The Burbs". With the amount of wealth in the Boston area and high educated population, do you honestly think parents would accept sup par schools?
Anyways, if Toronto competed on its own would it score on par with Singapore and Hong Kong? According to the Fraser Institute Toronto schools are middle of the road in Canada.
Lol dudes were saying Boston Public Schools dont suck when 40% of seniors didn't even graduate in 2011. Guys, BPS sucks. Aside from the exams schools it's definitely not a serviceable education for the modern global economy. Its no longer even the top 'urban district'
Main goals include feeding students, keeping them safe from students with weapons, getting them to school and keeping them childless. Even poor people try to avoid Boston Public Schools. 1/4th of children in the city do not attend. 1/10 students is homeless, 3/4ths are low income.
FTR Toronto is definitely more diverse than Boston.
Boston has some very very diverse areas in the city proper and a few gateway cities/suburbs. But you can very easily live a totally white/vanilla life in Boston in a certain income bracket-in fact depending on your career and job site you might have to. Its just far more socially stratified than Toronto. It's also far less asian. Boston has very very diverse black and latino populations, especially black. But its asian population is not as diverse and is much smaller than Toronto's.
1/3rd of Boston feels almost entirely black and latino. And unfortunately that's where a bulk of the diversity lies. you can go to several neighborhoods that feel 90% white with a sprinkle of asian.
Because it has MUCH more than just "blacks and Latinos." Where do West Indians fit in this? What about Asians? Italians? Germans? Middle Eastern? Etc.
The black/Latino thing is an American thing.
I would guess Germans Italians and maybe Middle eastern fall under white. Asians and west Indians fall under Asian
Oops my mistake West Indians would probably be under black
