I left Toronto because I couldn't afford to buy a somewhat cheap condo or a reasonable house. My household income was $160k at the time. It's a nice city with great services, great people, but the housing is unbelievable - it forced me and my family out with our two kids.
I have also visited Copenhagen and it's the same there - extremely high housing costs means that you're poor by default unless you bought in 20-30 years ago. Great, I can buy a beer for 5 kroner, but housing is an apartment for $300k
Calgary, Sydney, Auckland, Vancouver... yes, all of these also apply.
