I live here. It’s still a good city but it definitely has gone downhill since the days of yore. Many of the problems are familiar to American cities today. Homelessness, bad traffic and roads, overcrowded transit and runaway real estate costs to name a few. It is amazingly multicultural but because of that no group really dominates over any other. Muslims are pretty obvious but there just isn’t room for them to grow much here since large contingents of Chinese and Indians are also here. Most blacks originate from the Caribbean so the racial animosity is slightly different from the US version.
Do I miss the old days? Sort of but one has to deal with the time one lives in not the past which is now history. For the most part most get along as best one can because if your job involves interacting with the public you’re going to see a virtual UN mix of people. I remember talking to a cop some years ago and he said he woke up listening to the news to find out what troubles were going on in the world because for sure there would be some protest from some group taking place somewhere due to what he heard.
