1. Food price is almost the same, sometimes a little cheaper. No tax on most of apparel.

1. Food price is almost the same, sometimes a little cheaper. No tax on most of apparel.
2. Income tax is usually relatively lower, but it depends if you have tier with Canada or if you bought house. Interest expense on housing is tax deductibel
3. House in good school district is more expensive thant that in Toronto. But in normal school district, I feel it is the same or even cheaper. You can go to http://www.city-data.com/ to check house value in each city or town.
3. Personally feeling, 100K in Boston has relatively higher living quality than that in Toronto. But just personally experience. I have been lived Toronto for 3 years and in Bosotn for 2 years. If you ask my feeling, I would say rougly 10%-15% more cash to spend because of lower tax rate, lower sales tax...
4. Trafic to downtown Boston is slow, but better than DVP or 401 to down Toronto... At 8:00AM on I 93, I can go 20M/H or 30M /H , usually wouldn't totally stocked on highway...

枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / XDJM who moved to Boston from Toronto please advise (THANKS) - -zealot(是比似乎是好); 2008-8-27 {247} (#4643702@0)
1. How much does 100k in Boston area equal to Toronto area?
2. Is IT market good now at Boston area? Generally speaking, how easy to find another job if the current one stops?
3. How is the living expense compare to Scarborough?

Thanks again.

And all Rolians are welcome to comment. Thanks. -zealot(是比似乎是好); 2008-8-27 (#4644225@0)
1. 60k. 2. So so, So so. 3. Very expensive, especially houses. -stpaul(St. Paul); 2008-8-27 (#4644768@0)

Why 60K? Toronto is not cheap also. Living expense is comparable to Chicago. -kwirky(kwirky); 2008-8-27 (#4645766@0)

boston is much expensive than chicago.. -fromhere(lake erie); 2008-8-28 (#4645955@0)

房子巨小，房租巨贵，10万还可以了，不过中国超市和中餐都比多伦多差远了。 -zhihaoxx()(); 2008-8-27 (#4645783@0)
我们在多住了三年 ,我觉得 Boston的房价稍贵，其他应该相差不大，当然你买房如果不在意学区的话也不会贵多少的，中国超市餐馆也不少，但确实不及多的好，但个人观点，多的老黑和老印太多了，不喜欢，Scarbo的氛围也让人感觉糟糕。 -zhouxia2003(glora); 2008-8-28 (#4646442@0)

scarborough 西北部，基本没啥老黑老印，到处看到的，还是华人 -vetra(豆泡松果之多泡泡); 2008-8-28 (#4646456@0)

在Scarbo东部，有数量不少的老黑聚集，至于老印，有华人的地方，也有他们的身影 -zhouxia2003(glora); 2008-8-28 (#4646836@0)

I heard the weather and traffic is as bad as Toronto. What do you think? -zealot(是比似乎是好); 2008-8-28 (#4646852@0)
