Just because I have made a mistake in my written comment doesn't make me a child. If anything your the child here using a word you don't know the meaning of.
Locals will say Toronto is like a mini-NYC, but it is not.
Locals will say Toronto is the Canadian version of NYC, but it is not.
Locals will say Toronto is a smaller but cleaner NYC, but it is not.
There is very little in Toronto which will remind you of Manhattan. Queens, Brooklyn, maybe, but not Manhattan. In reality, Toronto is more like somewhere between Chicago and Philadelphia, than resembling NYC.
NYC is its own league on this continent. It is larger than the sum of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and a bunch of mid sized Canadians cities. Keep in mind that metro NYC has 22M people, while the entire Canada has 35M. The New York metropolitan area has a GDP of $1.4 trillion, compared with $1.6 trillion for entire Canada at nominal and $1.4 trillion at PPP. NYC can only be compared with cities like London and Tokyo. No New Yorker in his right mind would ever compare NYC with Toronto, no matter how many times Torontonians want to put Toronto and New York in the same sentence pretending there is a "vibe" here.
I hope that clarifies things.
You did clarify but don't have to rub it in which you did from the outset in line 1 of your post. I would love to rub it in further if you hadn't overkilled the sucker.
No not really. If you think its rotting now you should have seen it in the 80s and 90s. If anything NY is improving.
Realistically Toronto is bigger than New York. Because I won't include Queen, Bronx, Brooklyn into NYC. They are positively third world or at best feel like some Latin American towns. When people think of NYC outside of North East USA, they mean Manhattan. And Manhattan is smaller in size than Toronto.
I don't mean to say Manhattan isn't important but it isn't the place to be in America anymore. It has long ago moved to coastal Cali. And the booming regions in America are Texas, Florida, even some formerly mid sized towns like Atlanta and Charlotte.
Toronto on the other hand is fast mega sizing. It is the most important city in Canada and is An important financial, technological and cultural centre at the world stage. Not in the top league ATM but will get there in 10-15 years given rapid population growth in Canada and virtually nothing in rest of developed world.( if we discount illegal immigration into America)

This post is irrelevant. The outer boroughs, which are more livable than you think, are NYC and critical to the city functionality. Toronto includes Scarborough, which a big area of the city. Let's not genuinely spout falsehoods on this site. Thanks!
