Scarborough .
Port union south of 401 pls my real estate agent lives exactly there. nice little area.
That's where my wife grew up. Agreed. It's nice there. Her parents retired to Port Perry though, which is great if you don't have to commute.

Fuck Scarlem and Brampton - traffic is horrible in and out of those shit holes.
There ain't much in Oshawa for me.
This Chink will pick Barrie by process of elimination for the following reasons: - at least its closer to the bigger ski slopes and can pop on over on a weekday evening for a few runs (and stay the F away on weekends so the other folks can have at it). - bigger chances of finding houses that have more space between neighbours - if I need to go back to fobby areas - can still worm my way down Newmarket and make my way back to RH at a reasonable pace (I try to avoid Markham in general as well).

As far as Scarbs, the port union area is alright, so are the bluffs.
Personally I would opt for the Kingston Road area, Fallingbrook in particular.

This part I agree with.

Quite possible. I was selling parts for a while there, and my cousins shop was put that way years ago.
Brief thread derail, but did I meet you once at Brock Rd. and Bayly and I bought a Momo Monte Carlo 350 mm steering wheel from you? I can't remember who that was, but it was someone from here.
(yes, that was random) [/quote]

Winnipeg is not bad. My uncle runs a small mom/pop shop in Winterpeg. I took my little cousins to Harry Rosen and the sales guys instantly recognizes the family. When we go out to eat, the various restaurant owners treat us with amazing respect/service. It's nice to be an important person in the community.

I don't think anyone is hating on Barrie. For me, it's about lifestyle and convenience. I don't want to be an hour away from the city. I already don't like driving as is, so to go farther out makes no sense. Being Asian, I have no reason to go north of Barrie. Lol. Some things in life are worth sacrificing, and for me, paying more for a house (or taking less house for the same money) in a good location are well worth it.
How is everyone hating on Barrie so much!? You really need to come up here. Prices for housing are way cheaper (for now), we have the water, you're an hour to anything to you need in Toronto, an hour to anything you need in the North...
Even if I had the choice to leave, I'd probably still end up back here.

I'd pick scarb over oshawa any day. Traffic isn't anywhere near as bad. The 401 past rouge is shit during "work hours", and it's ALWAYS shit from whitby - oshawa.

Get the fuck out, Fallingbrook doesn't count. lol (I mean, yes.. I know it does.. but I lived on Willow.. a jump over, and I'd still call the whole area T.O)

Obviously hasn't gone North of Barrie for a while. Nothing but Asians at:
- Blue mountain - Algonquin park - Any camping ground

Yesterday was my first official day in Brampton. In Milton I would walk the dog and leave the door unlocked. Went to walk the dog last night and instinctively did the same, but after 5 steps decided to go back and lock the door lol.
