Cleveland. Weather's only brutal, not freeze your everything off brutal six months of the year.
But beyond that, professional wages in Montreal are incredibly low. You can make more in Cleveland and buy a home for next to nothing.
Climate is pretty much the same. Not much difference between -5 and -9 Celsius. It’s cold in both places. And Cleveland gets that wonderful lake effect. Are we talking about the same cities here?
And Are you sure about these “low wages?” My sister moved there and her salary (same job, same company) went up 15% instantly.
Similarly, my job (EE) would pay me the same in Montreal as it would in DC/MD, which is some 20% more than I make here. USD of course.
I don’t know of anyone in Montreal really complaining about low-paying professional wages. Even people with menial construction jobs seem to be able to buy decent houses in the suburbs, from what I see.
Well, Montreal is always regarded as one of the top cities in the world in this field. Health/biomedical and now tech/A.I within the health industry. Lot's of cures, groundbreaking studies (good and bad) have happened in MTL as well. I don't know much about Cleveland with respect to this field, but with the people I know in this field, Cleaveland is never mentioned.
Cleveland has one of best hospital's in the world and another that's one of the best in the country
I've been to neither. So, I abstain from voting, but not sure this is a fair comparison.
I've been to both and to me Montreal is a world class city. Maybe on the lower end, but still world class. Cleveland is both underrated and overrated by people that haven't been there, but is clearly a couple tiers below Montreal.
Why does this feels like folks are trying to get easy wins for their hometown or cities that they love. Why it couldn't be Montreal vs. Toronto or Chicago vs. Minnesota? It seems like people on C-D use Cleveland because they know it has bad reputation across the country and it's going to have a negatively knee-jerk reaction (even though most of the US and Canadian population have never set foot in the city). It seems like some of these posts want to include Cleveland to big up their cities or cities that they love. It's bad enough that Cleveland can't boost their city on this site without folks from other cities having to remind us that we don't live in an "elite city." To the OP, don't you think Cleveland has suffered enough jokes and ridicule all over the world for five decades? Why make it six?
