Well, I guess you do have a point there. Toronto does have Casa Loma afterall.
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. You can't even answer a simple question.

Montreal has finer women, better food, better nightlife, more interesting architecture, a more innovative music scene, more sophisticated art scene, cooler neighbourhoods, and generally cooler people than Toronto. Oh yeah, and a vastly superior hockey team.
Oh please. Since I live in Montreal, I know tons of montrealers, and most of them aren't the least bit cultured. I would venture that there are no more cultured people in Montreal, proportionately, than any other major city.
Plus, Montreal doesn't have David Cronenberg.
I guess I'm an idiot. What do I know? Nothing, apparently. I would be fascinated to see what foreigners consider the more cultural of the two cities. Toronto is culturally maybe just one rung up from Calgary imo.
Yeah, maybe, but in reality, it's all Canada. Meaning it's about as relevant as my home state of Indiana.
Not an estimate. I actually looked. Do you consider Asakusa/Minowa/Minamisenju central Tokyo? There are several around there for the price range and square footage I mentioned. Places that cater to foreigners. Should be able to find something for around 60,000 yen. I did when I looked last night. from 180 sf - 250 sf.
Damn, g33k laying the smackdown!!!
Asakusa/Minowa/MinamiSenju is definitely NOT central Tokyo!
In most common definitions of "Central Tokyo" all three places I mentioned are included. It's not like some distant suburb - it's not even across the river. There are 23 wards in Tokyo. And Sumida, Taito, and Arakawa are not even that far out from "the center". You make it sound as if its in another city. Its just a different neighborhood. You also make it sound unsafe, which its not. Especially compared to the cheaper, more run down neighborhoods in any US city. The homeless people in Tokyo don't bug you, they just sleep, smoke, and shuffle around. It's not like they are aggressive panhandlers. the Yakuza likely won't bug you. In fact, in all my time there, I've seen more Yakuza in Shinjuku than in Minowa. You are less than ten minutes by train from the first stop in "central Tokyo"The term "central Tokyo" today may refer to all of the 23 special wards, to all but the outermost special wards, or only to the three centrally located wards of Chiyoda, Chūō and Minato.
I'm not a Montrealer. How is it laying the smackdown if all he's doing is attacking my way of defining culture? If you don't define culture by the things I listed, then how is one to define it? Particularly in light of the earlier post demanding I list the resons why I believe Montreal has more/better culture than Toronto? Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess....
