Moving to Mississauga from TO

I used to live in Mississauga 4 years ago, and frankly, I loved every bit of it. Didnt have a car and when offices opened again, I moved to Toronto. I’m married now and need space, and have a car now, so considering moving back to Mississauga for the bigger spaces, better facilities and cheaper rent (by comparison).

What would you say has changed (if anything) in the Last 4 years? I went to a Costco in heartland yesterday and was baffled at the sheer traffic and crowds. Same with Square One this morning. Couldnt find parking for 1 hr.

Did i just on wrong days or is Mississauga really so crowded all the time? I love Mississauga and would appreciate helpful insight please as I’m in the process of looking for condos to rent.

Thanks in advance!!
