Top 10 Reasons Toronto is Better than LA

Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

1. Our phallic symbol in our Torontoist logo is bigger than your phallic symbol in your LAist logo.

2. Our prostitutes don't get killed as much!

3. We have snow! and Tobogganing!

4. For several months every year we're spared that pesky warmth that L.A. residents have to put up with ALL YEAR ROUND. Suckers.

5. You don't need a car to live here.

6. We only have to put up with your celebrities once a year.

7. We don't have a stupid sign.

8. Our celebrities aren't very famous.

9. LA's music festival is called LAMF (heh), and this is its myspace. Toronto's music festival is called NXNE, and this is its myspace.

10. We have a downtown.
