Peter Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The real estate agent from Toronto sounds like a real jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRH Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The real estate agent from Toronto sounds like a real jerk. 424695[/snapback] That was my thought too. He's probably still pissed about the '99 Eastern Conference finals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Isn't there rail service between Buffalo and Toronto? Even with the cost of commuting, you are a hundred-grand ahead. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Wasn't there a player that commuted from Toronto to Buffalo a couple years ago? Chidi Ahanotu. Except he did it the other way around (i.e. lived in Toronto and commuted to work in Buffalo). I know that's what you said, just trying to restate the point of how it's the opposite of the thread subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-Fat Sunny Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Folks are right that the key is the commute. If you enjoy spending 4 hours per day in your car this is doable and a good deal but if you do this you will miss out on one of the primary benefits of living in Buffalo which is the Buffalo folks (generally good people but your neighbor may be a jerk anywhere you go) and enjoying the cheaper cost of a market-basket in Buffalo. Though it is probably not worthwhile for a daily commute, if you can create a world in which you do commutes where you stay in Toronto several days and then stay in Buffalo for several days you should be able to make this work if you can command a Toronto wage while you do this. I was able to live life this way for nearly a decade working for a DC wage but living in Buffalo. Particularly as I often could arrage for my DC costs to be paid for by clients or as part of work and lived for a pttance when I wanted at my god-daughter's in DC things can be dome where you find a nice middle.

JohnyLangley Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 High Speed Trains - like the Acela between BOS-NYC-DC - is the answer. That would resolve the commute. Period.

What's another hour if it's speed limit and putting you 100k ahead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Here is a link with a picture of that asshat Meehan. http://communications.torontomls.net/newst...-2006/index.htm Addnendum "The reason Meehan doesn't get laid is because he is Meehan." The part of the article I really like is: "Buffalo's Elmwood district, near the downtown core -- the city's attempt at Yorkville-like setting..." Yes, Buffalonians were so envious of Toronto's Yorkville (?), we ran out and attempted our own. And it is not up to Toronto snuff. If Buffalo is so bad, Toronto should go and relocate next to Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalobillsfootball Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 No offense, but the grass ain't any greener in Canada. sh--, the brain drain is just as bad, if not worse, in Canada, as it in in WNY, BOSTOn, NYC, and anywhere up North!!! Buffalo NY is an awesome place. Just because the politiicians and the residents conitnue to !@#$ it up - they will never ever realize just how good they have it. It's just human nature to B word, B word and B word. Buffalo is awesome. Only a few know. BYE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
