Kitchener

[Britney]

A medium sized city with a population of [190],[399] in the city itself, with a total of [444],094 in the metro/suburban areas.
The city contains one of the lowest [unemployment] rates in the country. Highly educated people, high-tech jobs.
The city suffers a few problems, the degrading downtown for one. In the late 90s several buildings in and around downtown suffered [arson] problems. Store owners were setting fire to buildings to collect insurance money. After that, in around 2000 the downtown started to get really bad. No more fires, but lots and lots of drug-dealing, prostitution, robberies, car-thefts etc. The bus-terminal is also a heaven for young teenage kids who like to act like theyre from Brooklyn, talking shit to anybody.
Living in Kitchener is nice, if you have the money. High cost housing is leaving alot more people to move into ghetto neighbourhoods in the South Ward District of the city, and near Chicopee-Bridgeport. Ugly [slab] apartments, small houses, and crime are turning many areas into high-crime [ghettos]. If one can afford it though, the city is building pleanty of new, [middle-class] suburban areas. Tearing down forests and burying streams, developers are constantly building row upon row of identitcle houses on the [outskirts] of the city.
The lack of managed [health care] is showing. The recent lack of general-physicians is starting to show. Despite putting millions into the hospital, theyre still struggling.
Despite [the problems] the city faces as it gets bigger and bigger, Kitchener is a fine place. One thing they need to do though, is build up, not out.

[Zipporah Schumaker]

A mid sized city of around 200,000 people around an hour from Toronto (a city of over 5 million). A productive centre of technology, high education, one of the lowest unemployment rates nationwide, and one of the most diverse cities. Problems include lack of affordable housing and a [degraded] downtown core that has become a haven for [hard-core] [drug dealing] and prostitution.

[Tina]

A town in Southern Ontario with a small population, of only 200000. You can walk down one street and it will look like The Bronx, and the next street over it will look like your typical [white suburb]. Contains one housing project system, The [Hallman] Projects which are all over the Belmont / Brybeck area. The downtown is completly degraded and has become a paradise for drug dealers and prostitution. Neighbourhoods vary. They can be beautiful or comparable to Compton depending on where you are. Home to [Chicopee] Ski Hill and the Kitchener Rangers. Generally this town is one giant ghetto.
