I totally agree with A 3rd rate city. I moved to this place 5 years ago because my husband's job moved here. I'm orginally from Toronto and this place is full of intolerence and nepotism. The only thing going for London right now is UWO and Fanshawe. As for jobs go nepotism is very high here and lack of jobs as well. If there no jobs in a place people will leave and go to where they are. A lot of students and even young Londoners (those under 29, yes I am over 30) tell me how bad it is here and unfriendly. Transit also is the one of the wrost I've seen here and I can see why people live out of their cars here. Also Toronto is safer than London. At least in downtown Toronto you can walk around without feeling like some is going mug you. I saw a man get mugged at Dundas and Richmond a year ago (Regent Park in Toronto is safer for those who know what area it is); and I was the only one who helped him up. InToronto many people would help no matter what kind of neghbourhood you're in. This is why I'm selling my home in a upscale neghbourhood and going back to Toronto. My children also be safer and have more to do instead of drinking and drugs. My husband orginally was born and high tailed out of here after high school. He told those are the only things for teenagers to do here and work if they can get a job.
