Boston is great, so are parts of washington.
I wouldnèt touch Orlando or Salt lake with a ten foot pole though. terrible, terrible cities.

To each their own, I like Minnesota, Atlanta, Salt Lake City and Orlando.
I lived in Orlando for a couple of years before moving up here...it's not for everybody but I enjoyed it. Atlanta is a great city, loved visiting there.

I think it's funny Larson is tweeting about Bednik / Kerr as if the issues at the spot were simply down to a lack of confidence from the front office in Bednik. Talk about an analysis tinted with rose coloured glasses.
When will we develop an understanding of the game here enough to see through the occasional visually spectacular save? The position is a lot more than that.
I've always found something off-centre with his analysis as well - from seeking out O'Dea to comment on him to this ... when he runs the comments "if anyone deserved to be put right back in" - I don't remember that kind of support, articles etc... for previous keepers (Frei/Kocic). IMO I would guess there is a relationship beyond post-matches to keep going to bat for him.
I sit in 105 and at least 45mins a game have perfect sightlines for goal and of all our keepers, for me, he doesn't stand apart at all. I still say Frei 09/10 is the best we've had between the sticks by far.

The players get paid in USD. They're all loving it right now.
Most of the guys on cheap contracts room together in the condos near the lakeshore. Pretty sure MLSE has been renting a bunch of them out for at least the last couple years.
I agree. I grew up using TTC and it was great for me. I took transit in NY and Chicago too and thought TTC was somewhat comparable although not as many train lines. I have taken transportation in a number of other parts of Canada and I think TTC is still the best in Canada from what I have seen. I definitely wouldn't knock it or call it shitty.
I'd be more concerned for the 60K dudes playing for NYCFC.
Of the US MLS cities, it will actually be the worst by far in San Jose, followed at some distance by LA. Seattle, NY, DC & Boston housing affordability are all the same ballpark: not great, but still much better than the top two. (In my 2 second search, I haven't tried to compare the Canadian MLS cities yet. Of course, the vagaries of the exchange rate & buying power will have a big impact there. But for sure Toronto's problems are nowhere near the Bay Area.)

^SJ is OK. You can leave pretty cheaply half an hour away from San Jose (but don't go up the peninsula!)

This salary city discussion seems pretty far from the rails of player movement and speculation, folks.

It's more silicon state than silicon valley at this point. I have friends in California that are trying to tell me that even Oakland is getting gentrified and respectable.
More of a management type concern, to be honest.
When its not possible for a player to live in the vicinity they need to to play for an MLS team, that's a problem for acquiring players (which is where this discussion started). It is already a problem in NYC. It isn't, yet, in Toronto.
Speaking of the Bay Area I saw on a documentary on HBO called San Francisco 2.0 that San Fran and parts of Silicone Valley has become Uber expensive to live.
