What is your favourite thing about living in Kitchener-Waterloo?

[Hazara]

I am living in waterloo region since long time and got stuck here because of my family. To be honest and very serious it is boring place to live and there is nothing here when you are off and do things. Home prices are very expensive compare to the size of the cities here. Jobs I don't know people say lots of opportunities for people who are working in tech maybe but I don't know much about tech sector so might be. Other jobs not so many because there aren't many big companies here to offer employment. Good for students because they come here for two big universities here. I would leave this place right now if I wouldn't have home here. Don't come. I would say GTA and cities around the GTA is best because you will always get some jobs to survive.

Hey Kevin, great video. Could you please link here the web page that you mention at the beginning?

3:20 The expanding lanes on the 401 will be filled in 1-3 years unless transit service improves. Building mostly for cars is NOT sustainable or environmentally friendly and we need to stop exclusively saying a place is nice to live because it's near a large highway and instead mention transit too. It will help shift people's thinking from unsustainable to sustainable living.
I would encourage recommending rail more often like ION, GO Train's and VIA Rail's frequent service to the area. GO's and VIA's future electrification is also exciting and it will bring more frequent train service to the GTHA and into Quebec.

Is there job opportunities for construction laborer in Waterloo and Kitchener?

[ThanderOliveira]

I’m seeing a lot of comments saying kitchener is boring. For those who thinks otherwise, please defend the city with examples. I’m about to move there.

Did you just call Google a start up? 😂😂

[Hazara]

Everytime I hear they give Google reference. How many people Google employ here 1000? Just because Google is here it doesn't make the region great. You need other things in life beside work and you won't get it here. Where is Google in downtown Kitchener. Whenever I go to downtown Kitchener I get so much depressed because small and full of druggists and homeless people. What else here tell me one small shopping mall. There is no good quality of life here. So many people now cramped here and look at the traffic getting worse. Because, these three cities aren't build for big population. Think like this you have house with two bed room and your family is getting bigger and bigger but you don't have much land to build more room then what will happen? Same thing is happening here. Night life sucks here and only very few restaurants and pubs which are at waterloo up town. And they always close and open new ones.

Moved here 12 years ago and it's much better then Cambridge. Kitchener waterloo has plenty of concerts, festivals, kitchener rangers hockey games, bars downtown, and a light rail transit that makes it easy to commute between both cities. Cambridge is a shithole compared to kitchener waterloo

[Seekingtruth-mxur]

Nah we don't need more people from Toronto. Y'all guys crowding Kitchener and making it unaffordable.

[sabrinamorris]

So this guy sells homes that are very expensive. Houses in kitchener have more then doubled in price in the last 4 years. Most people new to kitchener rent a bedroom for $500 -$1000 a month. Please talk to people who live here for more then a year and are not selling schooling, renting or needed cheap labour. Lots of jobs for minimum wage but you will not be able to afford an apartment on minimum wage.

Google is actually laying off. Other than that KW is the most boring city in the world. I've lived here since 1983. If you are a homebody than this is the place for you. Starting to get all the problems Toronto has. Stay off the roads during Oktoberfest.
