Urbanity Comparison: Boston versus Toronto

[OyCrumbler]

I can’t tell how people are choosing Boston over Toronto given the criteria. The only small subset of the criteria that Boston might best Toronto in is the 25 square mile pedestrian friendliness and that’d be banking on the very narrow and curved streets of a small section of that where it’s very easy to jaywalk and driving there is an exercise in self-harm.

Not every city we would want to spend the rest of our lives in. But clearly part of it if given the chance, I'd take if young again. When boast stay the same.... sometimes comments on them get addressed and history of how different cities change over time.

How is this post that North42 posted in another thread linked at all to the subject matter? Why would you do this and try to relate it to what is going on here. This comment and what people have been talking about in this thread have zero to do with one another. I see what you're trying to do here, you're trying to stir nationalism into the topic to toxify the discussion and send it off on a tangent that is completely unrelated.

As for North42's love of his country. We don't know the context of his post but so what he loves his country and would rather live there than the U.S. I don't fault Americans for preferring their own country to live in. So, do you need to continue to derail this thread or is it possible you can ditch the nationalism and maybe just keep commentary focused on the topic matter which is an urbanity comparison between Boston and Toronto.

For the record - in what manner at all have I been dismissive of Boston's urbanity in this thread - answer I haven't so that just throws your whole ridiculous nationalist theory to smithereens.

This comment and what people have been talking about in this thread have zero to do with one another. You are trying to inject some sort of nationalist sentiment into C v C threads. I see what you're trying to do here, you're trying to stir nationalism into the topic to toxify the discussion and send it off on a tangent that is completely unrelated.

You asked for post saying Toronto was the superior city in NA to all but NYC. That poster keeps at me with his grips and he said even Canada is the best Nation in world recently. I'd have to search back to threads months ago for thru Toronto comments you asked for.

Just as the amalgamation was in sizing up why city limits is less relevant as you feel CSA's are too. But he is correct... best to not reply to posters or co tine past initial post and move in so it doesn't go to bickering.

You did not cite a post where someone from Toronto or even Canada said Toronto was the superior city to all but NYC. Even if one person somewhere did - WHO CARES one person isn't Canada or even Toronto. You create bogeyman arguments, exaggerate comments or even simply make stuff up and than wrongfully inject them into situations where they aren't warranted.

So yes - please stick to the topic matter and stop trying to bring nationalist sentiment on either side into this discussion because that has zero to do with the urbanity of Boston or Toronto.
