Windsor is definately more blue collar, gritty and multicultural than London, and to me actually feels more urban due to its many old ethnic neighbourhoods, and connectivity with Detroit, compared to more white and suburban feeling London. London's DT feels much bigger than Windsor's though. London is becoming more diverse as well lately though, which is nice to see.
As for Detroit and Toronto, they are very different from each other, but are both great cities. I think you would really like Detroit if you were to come and visit and actually see what the city is like. The Windsor/Detroit area is very underrated, but it is currently going through a renaissance and it's a very exciting time to live here.

Your right I think I would like Detroit too, but more than Toronto?
Probably not, come to think of it I've never actually met a person who liked Detroit more than Toronto. (Not saying Detroit isn't a nice City but it's not on Toronto's level if ever).
Plus my Uncle Lives in Toronto, my friend Bobby Lives in Toronto. (Well it's Suburbs anyways), my friend Nina Lives in Toronto, a Handful of my friends from Calgary I went to middle school with live in Toronto, a few Nigerian Families I knew in Calgary even moved out to Toronto. The number of people I know in the Toronto Area is fairly large already. (Easily the City I probably know the 2nd most Canadian's in which is saying alot since I know alot of people in Cities like Edmonton & Vancouver too). Toronto's Pull/ Orbit is just so enormous compared to other Canadian Cities, I don't see how I'm never not going to know alot of people living in Toronto.
When it comes to Detroit I probably know like 1 Family there. (VIA/ through my Father & he lives close to Joe Louis Arena but that's about it).
Yeah I knew that London was getting more Diverse/ Multicultural (Mostly because well it's growing too), But Windsor & London are a toss up for me. 1 is closer to Toronto Geographically (As well as the Hub of Southwestern Ontario), & the Other is the 2nd largest City in Southwestern Ontario & Shares one of the most Important (If not the most important), International Border Crossing in Canada.
Overall I could see Windsor being slightly the more expensive of the 2 Cities. (Though I'm not sure). All I know is the proximity to Detroit & the relatively nice Winter. (By Canadian Standards), will very likely jack up the prices long term. London would be cheaper from an Economic Standpoint since it's a Mid Sized City more or less in the Middle of Nowhere in the Heavily Populated Windsor/ Quebec City Corridor, On 1 Hand the population is Million's of People 2 Hours North of it, & again Millions of People 2 Hours South of it, so it's location is ideal but not nearly as much as Windsor's.
I also kind of like how Big London's Downtown looks/ Feels. Personally to me it looked busier in Photo's that I saw, Windsor's is no slouch too/ either. During the Balloonapalooza Event Windsor looks vibrant/ busy. But London Moreso during, Fiesta London (& other such events), the final clincher is I actually know somebody who lives in London but nobody in Windsor. (But if where going for Rental/ Apartment Stock I tend to like London's assortment a bit more as their are more rental options than Windsor also). Who know's maybe I will even live closer to the GTA if price/ jobs permit it!
