Urban Canada: Why do people gravitate to the south end of their respective cities?
If one were to look any virtually any relatively large Canadian city/metro area, they would notice that the south end of any Canadian city has grown much faster than their northern counterpart. There are exceptions (physical barriers- Toronto has Lake Ontario).
Why is this? DO people subconsciously want to live closer to the border, or is there other factors at play. In Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Montreal, etc, every city has grown exponentially faster in the south.
This is not really a pressing question, I just wonder if anyone has noticed this trend, and what may be the reasoning behind it.
