first few minutes, talking about all the amenities that I do not have, because I live in the U.S. Then they go on about how some cities in the U.S are getting better. but oh wait, those are also the most expensive cities to live in. Also, the average life expectancy for adult males in the U.S. is 73. so if you're in your mid 30's, congrats, you're middle aged. Pointing that out just to say that I don't want to live in a walkable, bikeable, mass transit-able city in 20 years (if republicans don't tear everything down first), I want to live there now, during my lifetime.

this honestly just seems like an ad for montreal.
