> I know the rent is more expensive

Yes, the roughly equivalent 1br in Toronto is going to be about $2500 these days.

Also keep in mind Texas has no sales tax, Ontario does. And we are talking CDN not USD (hard to directly compare some things). It's in general a bit more expensive in Toronto, across the board (except health care, obviously).

Houston is one of the cheapest "proper" metros in USA and Canada.

I like the quotes around proper .

Yeah we're proper in the sense we have a good food/cocktail/bar scene, and a great classical music/art scene.

But we have no public transportation and the density doesn't even get close to other metros.
