I grew up in Windsor so I don't really know much else but I have a couple friends from high school that moved to Toronto for jobs but couldn't get used to the traffic/high cost of everything so they returned.

Windsor is very easy to get around...there are no issues with traffic and the pace of life is so much slower. The economy is expected to be the fastest growing in Canada over the next couple of years as it continues to diversify away from the auto industry. Two years ago the unemployment rate was 15% and now it's 9%.

Crime is low and there hasn't been a murder for almost 2 years.

There's lots of optimism downtown with the ground breaking of the new aquatic centre, new library, new festival plaza, a University of Windsor satellite campus opening downtown soon, new streetscaping, etc.
