^ Miscreant - I too live in Boston - and I completely agree with you.. I would say almost everything (minus liquor) is about 40% more here.
including Bruins and Celtics and Red Sox are 40% better

Back off, last I checked we beet the bruins last game.
; - )
Last time I checked leafs have 2 losses and 1 win against boston this season and 44-24 overall.
errr, enough out of you !
Thanks for the stats though, I'm surprised Boston was so expensive, real estate I can understand but you mean just regular every day things ? Haven't been there so I cannot comment personally, I can about Chicago though and it always surprised me how cheap real estate was (in general..)

SF rent prices in a comparable area to Toronto is roughly double. Boston is similar to Toronto, but it is also a bit smaller of a city. Chicago can absolutely be cheaper, if you are willing to live in cheaper neighborhoods that can have safety issues.
Where abouts are you? But yeah, I'm not sure I'd say day-to-day living is more expensive--eating out, etc. But either way I'm getting rinsed here, so my Boston days are numbered.
Beautiful city though--in the right places. Where it's ugly it's fugly.
Toronto isn't exactly starving when it comes to jobs, its posting 3% annual growth rates. It just so happens that our population is growing even faster. The thing really driving up SF prices is the strict development controls.
Umm, I don't agree.
My Bostonian friends find Toronto to be very expensive. Actually my New Yorker friends find Toronto expensive too.
How can Boston be 40% more expensive? Food is of similar prices. Sales tax is 6.25% in Boston, 6.75% lower than here already. Online shopping is definitely way cheaper in the US compared with here. Car insurance, I don't know anywhere where it costs more than in Toronto. Housing price is pretty much similar.
Boston is expensive in American standard. Compared with Canadian prices, it is nothing.
Rent. Rent. Rent.
Add in three years of population growth since 2011, and the current estimated population of the GTHA is around 6.5 to 6.6 million people. That does not include the entire St. Catherines/Niagara corridor nor the Kitchener Waterloo corridor which would add another 1 million+ people.
