If by 'better pick' you mean almost 1/2 salary.

I've lived here for quite some time and grew up in Toronto. I've lived in the Valley and around the world, I'm acquainted with most issues.

1/2 salary of Toronto? No way! Montréal salaries are lower, but by 15-20% max. Yet you can buy a condo with a parking spot, in a central location for $220. The cost of living is much lower than Toronto.

I’ve lived in Ottawa, Toronto and now Montreal. Montreal is by far more affordable than the other 2.
