Here's the deal with Scarborough as I understand it: down south near the beaches is nice and very family-oriented, the middle (most of Scarborough) can get pretty rough or ghetto if you want to call it that, and the northern part is basically all Asian.
Again, I have no idea why a 33 year old single dude coming up from Florida would even consider moving to a suburb like Scarborough or Markham or Mississauga as mentioned in your previous posts? Suburban life is going to be a very boring life for you as nearly all nightlife and activities are in the city. And it will be a long commute if you end up working downtown and an unbearable commute if you end up working on the opposite side of town.
For you, consider living along the subway line out west around High Park or Runnymede. It relatively close to but not right in the DT core. IMO, I prefer neighborhoods outstide the core as they feel less cold and more neighborhoody. And if you are going to give up hot weather and beaches, then at least be close to what TO has to offer (i.e. city life).

Im originally from BC Im trapped in a part of Florida I don't want to be, Im in the Jacksonville suburbs around it and good god does it suck. Im trying to move or to go to a different state but nothing is working out, the economy is not doing well to me around here, and it's getting worse here in the US. what do you mean by the other side of town?
He means the other side of Toronto, like not Brampton but even say Dufferin and Bloor or Liberty Village.
Basically, he's saying if you hate us suburbs, you'll HATE Cdn suburbs.
Im from Vancouver, moved to California then Florida, the US economy is getting scary, its not getting fixed it's not Improving and 2013 will bad- 2014 will be terrible. We have almost 48 million on food stamps here and it's growing daily. People cant even get a job at wendy's anymore.
Im also stuck in nowhere town Florida
is etobocke close enough? downtown prices Im not really willing to pay for and on top of that, I notice for condo ownership parking spaces cost a fortune. It doesnt seem worth it to me,.
Well that's a tough question - it's basically a suburb of toronto. Nice houses, big streets, 1950s leave it to beaver houses, long commute to the city, local bars, nobody who comes to Toronto is dying to visit Etobicoke, but it's a nice enough part of town. I think I'd rather live in a shoebox at yonge and bloor than live in a house in etobicoke at 33 and single but if you're determined to be the single guy on the block full of young families, its not bad and better than 'sauga.

Do the gyms have parking in TO? or are they all street level,it seems allot of TO people don't have cars to me, and is parking generally that expensive in TO ? seems to be the case with condo buyers
You seem very concerned about paying for parking. Yes, in downtown you will pay for parking - either at the meter or as part of your condo fees. But you aren't including paying for commuting costs on the other side of the equation either.
