You can move to where the grass is greener, or you can stay and grow your own. Great way to look at it.

But really there have been a ton of improvements in the city in just the past few years. It takes a really depressed or pessimistic person to not see this.

A few more changes I've noticed in the few short years I've lived here: Ottawa St and Locke St are both moving up in the world (in their own ways). The General Hospital now has a world class cardiac research centre next to it, HECFI now attracts world class acts, the gaudy strip bar next to Gore Park closed down and is or will be condos, Gore Park is getting a makeover soon, etc, the list goes on and on.. what more do you want??
