I love Montreal, but it seems you are describing the Plateau/Mile-End rather than Montreal as a whole.
But I agree, from the North American cities I visited, Montreal has the nicest, livable higher-density housing areas.

"hard to be a consumer but easier to be a human" was what I've heard about the city.
I’m sure I’m forgetting some neighbourhoods too. Mostly describing those I personally walked around a lot. The mountain gets a way a bit for those in the second list, whereas the areas around the plateau are a square grid of similar neighbourhoods in all directions.
