This is just something I heard that was interesting, if nothing else.

Recently a magazine released a number of 'rankings' for major cities in Canada.

For example, the magazine claimed that Vancouver is Canada's most gay-friendly city. Montreal is Canada's most fetish-friendly city. Winnipeg is Canada's most heterosexual city.

I know that cities, large and small, have their own 'identities' but I'm wondering, do many people (especially minorities - including those who enjoy dressing in leather) take a cities 'identity' into much consideration when moving?

When I've moved around I generally look at the area as opposed to any specific city (the Mid-West, for example, or 'Eastern' Canada).

I don't know if they do, but they should. My city (Lynchburg) is slightly bigger than one about an hour away (Charlottesville), but there's much more to do in C'ville: ethnic food, clubs, events, etc. Mine is the family-friendly city; theirs is the singles-friendly city. In my home state, Macon is church-friendly, Savannah is party-friendly . . . they really do have personalities, I think.

I tend to look at weather, terrain, and population...
