The phrase "it's just that comfortable" comes to mind.

Vancouver: your new addition casts a shadow on my lawn from 3:29 to 3:34pm on December 21. I’m putting a note on your windshield to let you know about this.

Reminds me of the "will be a beautiful city if they ever finish it" that you used to hear in the 1970s.

I've lived in Toronto, and I visit multiple times a year. What I said was most definitely not untrue. I figured since so many people who have never even lived in or been to Calgary have such strong opinions about the place on every other thread, I could provide my informed, semi-joking opinion about a place I've actually lived, and will live in again eventually.

I thought you captured contemporary Toronto's aspirational nature quite well, with a bit of tongue-in-cheek.
