    I’m top 5 percent of earners in my city but I can’t take out a mortgage on a 1 bedroom apartment built in 1971

        Only thing that will make housing cheaper is that or an earthquake lol. It was a joke, by the way

            If anything I can imagine earthquakes make it worse. I assume they’d Shock Doctrine all of that newly cleared space and build condos that they sell for ten times as much as whatever stood there before… But I don’t know, I’m not a seismologist.

      And yet you have it so easy compared to most of us. Canada for me would be a blessing compared to my current country.

      But hey, atleast the weather is great and alcohol is cheap.

      4 bedroom houses are going for 1+ million lol
