Why? I've never lived there but it seems one of the few places with tech jobs and houses that don't cost a million bucks.

Waterloo is great for backyards and parking. Toronto is great for urban living.

Take your pick :)

Yes, you can buy a house there more cheaply than in Toronto. But is owning a pile of bricks worth living in a wasteland? Personal preference, as they say.
