In fairness using Swansea as the example of Toronto isn't really fair as it is a small and unique area:
Swansea Village is the only Toronto neighbourhood that has its own community run Town Hall. Swansea is also the only Toronto neighbourhood to have a lake, a river, and a pond as it's natural boundaries. Swansea's hilly terrain, winding roads and many mature trees accentuate the storybook houses that line the residential streets of this neighbourhood.
Most of Toronto is not like that as the city becomes more high rise buildings with condos popping up everywhere and mature trees are moved out of the way. Most of Toronto is far from your nice clean and tidy neighbourhood. Walking and travelling the TTC on a regular basis shows the other side of the city - a dirty ugly area with a lot of self-centered rude entitled people that have zero respect for others and the law even when they need them. Another record year for violent crime that I am sure will increase again next year, haven't checked but probably another record for hit and runs as well, TTC bleeds money due to the large number of fare dodgers that bleeding hearts make excuses for. Would be nice to walk more than 10 minutes or go shopping without running into a refugee that has 5 kids and needs money to support them (funny how they all have 5 kids) and have some driver try to run you down.
Yeah, Toronto is not my favourite city either.
