. . . and why?

Any cheap neglected area is fair game. Send in the developers, the real-estate con-men and Pied Piper PR guys. The gullible, naïve politically correct 30-somethings will follow like obedient mice • Any suburb... 'cause that's where all the drugs are! • Anything but the Plateau • Anywhere where the crackheads aren't • Anywhere with no condo in sight • As in arson capital? Probably Hochelaga • As long as it is no longer NDG, with all the breeders and their SUVs driving up the bloody price of everything, I don't care! • I'm not saying - we don't want prices to inflate now, do we?

Ahuntsic, because it can't get any worse • Atwater Market area because of the location, cleanliness, quiet open spaces, market and canal • Brossard, because of the new skatepark • Chinatown... the girls! • Chinatown: great location, too-cool vintage architecture and no one's on to it yet. Oh, and a great way to learn Chinese! • Côte-St-Luc, it's where the Jews are at! • Frontenac, with its odours of chocolate, beer and dogfood. Does it get any better? • The South Shore because it has a lot of good people who love to go out, get hammered and have a good time

Hochelaga-Maisonneuve for the best fashion tips • Hochelaga-Maisonneuve because a lot of poor people still live there • Hochelaga-Maisonneuve for all the hot Quebecer girls

Île des Soeurs: easily accessible to downtown, open spaces, parks, bike trails• LaSalle: new condos, lots of green spaces, Angrignon Park, good bike paths, good organized sports for kids, megastores, multiethnic • Latin Quarter: vegetarian food, hot clubs and hot people • Laval because we rock and it's FULL of hot chicks!

Little Burgundy because it's beautiful and well located • Little Burgundy, though gentrification has already begun, rents are going up and blacks are moving out • Little Italy because of all the great food and cafés and the market • Little Italy: cute little Italian men drinking coffee • McGill Ghetto: hot women in comfortable clothing

Mile-End because it is the hottest place to find cute anglo lesbians (can't be found in the Village) • Mile-End because it hasn't been infiltrated by McGill kids yet • Mile-End cuz it's where all the ex-Plateau kids have fled to avoid the tourists and suburbanites • Mile-End cuz it exudes coolness without the pretentious & commercial side of the Plateau • Mile-End: the bagels, the rotis, the delicious coffee and the Brazilian hangouts

Montreal North: it's where Santa lives! • Montreal West: it's quiet, safe with big old trees and far from the city traffic, strip clubs and hookers • Montreal West: old people!

NDG: it's identity is ingrained, not transported from afar • NDG for the awesome architecture, easy access to drugs and TREES! • NDG cuz it's so gangster! • NDG near Sherbrooke West because it's still cheap and isn't full of dirtbags • NDG, it's the best place to toke! • NDG: Russians, chess and cool diners • NDG because it's God's little acre • NDG: it all has to come back where it left from

Near McGill in Old Montreal: less crowded than St-Laurent, more hip • North Hampstead: people love upper-middle-class Jews • Nuns' Island: it's so beautiful. Why is this retardo city built around the mountain when the shores are nicer?

Parc Ex - people are renovating it and one day (!!) it will be snazzy • Parc Ex because everyone's had enough of Mile-End • Parc Ex: poor people, artists and lots of ethnic diversity creates a culturally healthy environment that attracts us whities • Park Ex = Bollywood!

Plateau cause it's so trendy • The Plateau is just the bomb right now, this is where I want to be • The Plateau, it's funky fresh! • Plateau: the women, the atmosphere, the flying monkeys

Point St-Charles. High crime = less pedestrians. Warehouses = loud music! • Point St-Charles, because they are finally fixing that shit up • Point St-Charles. It's near the canal and not nearly as scary as it used to be • Point St-Charles. It's what the Plateau used to be: cheap, close to downtown, has character, old buildings, a neighbourhood vibe and no martini bars. Throw in the canal for bonus points

Rosemont: beautiful, spacious, affordable housing, parks, bars, restos, Beaubien Cinema and hipsters already moving in • Rosemont because Masson street is a nice, friendly place where people aren't as snobby as on the Plateau

Ste-Catherine near Jet, Circus and Club Dome. What other reason do you need? • St-Denis and Ste-Cath. Get my pot then turn around and get a blowjob from a hooker • St-Laurent & Ste-Catherine (Red Light District): Hooker buffet, plenty of bars in walking distance, concentration of most major festivals… just a chill fuckin' place for the summer!

St-Henri because cheap = students = party • St-Henri: lots of hip black people • St-Henri because it's on the right side of the tracks and has that old-style Québécois flavour • St-Henri because it's got a dirty, trashy and underground kinda thing going for it • St-Henri: young professionals buy there, renovate and grow pot!

St-Leonard because it's full of Italians! • St-Leonard: it's the new Westmount, but without the snobbiness

Verdun - cheap ass and no class! • Verdun: youth alley culture, 4th St. & LaSalle climbing web, no alcohol except in your backyard while wearing a muscle shirt and listening to 50 Cent • Verdun because of the return of the mullet • Verdun, because they have a cult video store and good places to eat cake! • Verdun. It's got that gritty, bleak industrial chic to it • Verdun is so hot right now! It's so poor it's cool!

Ville Émard: Monk Ave is the next Mont-Royal • Ville St-Laurent... the ho's • Villeray - people are humble • The Village because it's getting cooler and cooler to be gay

West Island because people drive nice cars • West Island: low taxes, clean streets, plenty of activities • West Island: influx of colo-rectal surgeons!
