WR has a lot going for it in terms of tech, of course, but I'd be lying if I said I enjoy the arts community here. I'd really really like to stay in Waterloo Region - I grew up here, there's jobs, there's family. But in all honesty, even moving to Guelph is compelling because of the thriving arts community. The music scene is better, the small businesses and restaurants feel more like they came from the heart and not from the deep pockets of the tech sector... I wish I could put my finger on what exactly could change to improve the region, but I'm not quite sure. I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with me though.
