But I'd rather live in Sweden than anywhere in the dirty south. So wasn't exactly sure how to answer. In my state I can get beer, wine and liquor in every grocery store, and get weed legally from my corner pot shop, so I'm all set. Couldn't do that in Sweden or the dirty south.
If I had to move to Canada, I don’t know enough to know where to move and where not to.
I would think that Toronto and Vancouver would top my list. The east coast area would intrigue me. Montreal area would be pretty low on the list as well as remote areas.
We do have an increase in homeless though.

Things being "expensive" is relative. It's like people (not you) seem to think people in Sweden can't go outside because of everything being expensive. It's not like we built a system that doesn't work to live in. Oh, a pair of Levis is cheaper in the US and a beer cost a bit less - then people living on wages they can't survive on and going bankrupt when they get sick is all worth it.
Well here we have decent wages and we don't go bankrupt when sick - and those who need a pair of Levis can buy them and everyone drinks beer.
Might be more expensive to be a tourist in. But by all metrics and all common sense Sweden seems to have built a society with a better balance than the US. And on a more compassionate foundation. Instead of a "But, I am privileged enough to have a pool and a fence tall enough to not see the rest of society" foundation.

Looks like I did the friendly fire thing for nothing. 👍I seem to remember you have yet to link the "current" comment you referenced. I searched. All that came up was the timeline of the link you DID post. 3 years old. Despite being asked repeatedly for that link.so what could have been just a misunderstanding AT FIRST instead now leads to now suggesting you revisit a particular page........TLDR not in english.but finally, I assume, you've done what was asked to back up your claim.

Well, there has been quite a bit of garbage piled up on the streets at night any time I've been to NYC, but it doesn't stink as far as I can remember (thought the last time I was there was February, so maybe that's why). It seems like every day is garbage day in Manhattan. The city as a whole isn't any dirtier than any other American big city. Maybe people notice it more because it's a walkable city, as opposed to other cities that people might just drive/taxi/uber around in?my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
CanadaI've seen Jason Takes Manhattan. I know how filthy NYC is."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0
