Can anyone explain this article to me? Why would America want to be like Montreal at all? A fair amount of US was built with some considerations in mind. I am not sure what Montreal has to offer here.

Montreal has probably the best public transit in north America. Can't think of anything else really.
Except for their Rail system, that one stops working if you look at it wrong.

Metro/Buses are great (except in the West Island of course)

Relatively cheap rents for a city of that size.
Matches the income of the population I would say.
RENT IS HALF THE PRICE!

...your pay is also half the amount.
