I thought that was supposed to be Austin? Silicone valley of the prairie or something.
This kind of thing is said all the time of different places :)
Depends on the salaries they offer, doesn't it?
Who is going to move to Toronto to join the tech scene? If given the choice who is going to choose Toronto over Bay Area or Seattle? Without it having a massive draw it won't even register compared to Bay Area or even Seattle.
The Bay area is a nice place to work in your 20s, but it's not a good place to settle down. With housing prices, homeless population, just a general grime over most things.

If someone made me choose between the Bay Area and Toronto, I would pick Toronto. Every day of the week. Toronto's great. Sure, it's like the planet Hoth for a third of the year. But in every other way it's a more liveable city. The public transport in the core of the city exists and works, rather than being a cobbled-together mishmash of uncoordinated systems of which 2 out of 3 seem to be broken at any time. The re…
As someone who grew up in a forestry town in Northern Ontario...Toronto is a world away, and much more similar to the Bay Area than where I grew up.
