John, it's not a question of whether downtown is better than the suburbs because that is entirely related to one's personal preference. However, as someone who lives in the city but grew up in the suburbs, I can certainly attest to the fact that the quality of life offered in the suburbs has gone down somewhat over the past 2 decades, whereas the qualify of life offered downtown has improved. I've been back to the area that I grew up in during the 1980s, and it's definitely not what it used to be.
Some people will always view downtown as an awful place, while others could never live north of Bloor. Let's not argue over this! However, the current trend is that quality of life is improving in the city, and actually declining in the suburbs.
