American wanting to move to canada: Is Scarborough, ON. a good place to live?

A friend of mine wants me to move in with him in Scarborough, Ontario. How's the culture there? What's the crime rate? What's the job situation there? Would that be a good place to move? (I live in Texas, btw)

edit: Thanks everyone, the reason I was asking was because my best friend was asking me to move in with him, I'm going to tell him that I have to pass on the offer, thanks for the info!

edit 2: Actually, scratch that, I may actually consider visiting there for a while when im off school to see how it is.

I don't have a job here since I'm still going to college, but I live near rackspace hosting where I can get the dream IT job that I always wanted when I graduate. The problem is I don't want to take that job if im just going to quit to move over there :p, so I'll just visit for a while once, then if I like it Ill visit again permanently.
