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

Fuck Canada I can’t wait till someone nukes this place

A tad extreme no? Jesus.

Only thing that will make housing cheaper is that or an earthquake lol. It was a joke, by the way
Earthquakes wont do shit. Source I am Californian.
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.

Here in BC we are waiting for “the big one”

It will definitely help. Lol

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

Apartments in Canada are almost 1 million in certain cities
Same here (Madeira Island, Portugal), however medium wages would be under 1000/month.
