Also it doesn't matter if you make 200k in Toronto or 100k or less in Waterloo. Living expanses in Toronto are almost double. Car insurance is almost triple, if you want to have one. Cities are 1 hour away from each other. And taxes ... :) I won't get into that.

Yeah... having lived in both, I don't buy this. A person making $200K in Toronto is in a financially much, much, much better position that a $100K person in Waterloo.

The cost of living, having paid it myself, are nowhere close to double.
