There's some truth to 1 and 2, but 3 clearly shows that you haven't bothered to check out much of Mississauga. It's a lot more diverse in form than you give it credit for.
Off topic, but pertaining to some of the discussion in the thread.
As someone who has lived in Toronto, Newmarket, and Hamilton, and recently Moved to Mississauga for the first time (city centre area), here are my observations:
1. Mississauga is the most sparse place I have ever lived. It's very poorly served by things such as grocery stores, restaurants, etc. As someone without a car, living here is horrible. Newmarket was more walkable and convenient.
2. There is no regard for pedestrians here. I've never felt uncomfortable walking/crossing roads at any point in my life until now. For example, people don't give a shit if you have a green to cross the road. They'll try to drive into you unless you stop and let them make right-on-red turns etc.
3. There is a soulless alienating vibe about this place. It doesn't have the cozy, populated, dense, exciting feel of the city, nor the beauty, nature, friendliness, or recluse of the suburbs. Mississauga is a horrid place.
I can see why everyone here drives, and I wouldn't expect it to change soon.

Does anyone know how many more units are still up for sale in the 2nd Limelight condo? Needless to say, it's taken Daniel's an endless amount of time to sell out compared to the first one...any reasons why?
Not an expert at these things, but would limelight #1 be more of an attractive commodity to live in compared to the 2nd?
