Agree: and throw in the homeless people, violent psych patients wandering the streets and the toxic air pollution that will speed you along into early dementia. I have numerous times seen people passed out at the entrance to many a 'fancy' condo. 

The theory behind condos may have once made sense but the transient, ill-discplined population of today's Canada guarantees most buildings crumble into disrepair and chaos pretty soon. They become the slums of tomorrow very fast. 

And definitely the arrival of these internet services has encouraged a culture of complete irrresponsibility, where people misbehave and do not feel any need to be a good member of the community. 

Seek out real neighborhoods (some are still out there) and give a pass on anything like this. If you like funky restaurants and some nightlife, just save your pennies and do a city break.
