Thousands of young people are fleeing Toronto, economists: city will suffer

I have the same experience in LA with the weed/tobacco smoke, but also just all of the damn chemicals my neighbors use in their daily life.

Before moving to the city, I expected the traffic and crowds would be the primary drawback compared to suburbia. But I’ve found that the smells and sounds of my own neighbors’ activities to be the worst, like running their loud AC 24/7 even in winter, and spraying copious Lysol and febreeze multiple times a day.

Love living in this city with all of the activities nearby, but I’m 100% ready to gtfo and don’t think I’ll miss it.

Right!? I swear people know when to do it at the worst times too. When I first moved, it was because they triggered the building wide alarm system at 2 AM. After that, I was sick of it and couldn't take it anymore.

Also, I get that you're going to smell food/odd stuff from neighbors from time to time but there's only so much you can handle.
