One would assume that such an artistic and bohemian neighbourhood would be a cheap area to live in, but no. It's so expensive because of the tourism and the concentration of french immigrants

It became such a desirable place to live that's why. The artists have spread out to other neighbourhoods and we've begun to see them evolve into Plateau-like areas. Hopefully it never loses its charms!

It was a cheap and very bohemian place in the early 1990s. I used to take the metro with friends and we would just hang out there and visit cool boutiques and used records shops. But it has gentrified quickly at the end of the 1990s. Recent roadworks have caused massive problems to remaining boutiques since the works took forever to complete, and then we hit the pandemic. When COVID is over, the Plateau will be a very different place compared to 2015, for instance. I wonder if it will still have a soul.

Anyone living in the city 1985 will remember le Lux. A news stand/cigar bar/candy store/resto/hair salon/fashion hub/hot dog stand. Open 24/7. Located just steps away from Fairmount bagels, on rue St. Laurent. It closed in the 90s.

We have Schools that teach in English as a primary language. I think that’s enough to make it bilingual. Also Montreal has a decent amount of people that consider themselves anglophones. French may be the official language but it definitely is bilingual.

I've actually never seen it anywhere else in the world. The reason is that in the past heating was very expensive, so people built outdoor staircases to avoid having to heat such a useless part of the building (and it added some interior space)

The plateau has been ruined by far left municipal government policies. High taxes, tens of thousands of parking spots removed to make way for useless bike paths. Furthermore, the neighborhood is covered in leftist propaganda leaflets, ugly graffiti, and there are homeless people everywhere. Gentrified, rents are skyrocketing. Finally, it's impossible to get in and out of easily by car - 15 minutes minimum to highways. People used to like to come visit, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to do so. Check out how many empty businesses there are on St.Denis, Mont Royal and St.Laurent.
