I'll chime in on this, I live just south of Barrie in a decent 3 bedroom with a basement that was a foreclosure from the bank, had holes everywhere and smelt of cat piss lol, I was able to see past it and do the repairs myself. We bought a home in the area when we were 23, and have since sold and moved into here. I work in the GTA, Audio Visual Installer (corporate boardrooms, schools, meeting rooms, theatres). I live up here not only because I hate the city, but there's no way I could afford a regular home in the Toronto area, I don't understand it. 1 million dollar average home price, and I was reading a study that suggested that in a decade that will be close to 4 million for a regular run of the mill home. Insane! what do these people do to afford such homes? Isn't this how a housing market crash happens?
And I certainly agree with everyone about young people now a days, and I'm turning 30 this fall! LOL! I am really scared for this world in the next few decades, no one actually wants to do any actual work anymore. Work with your hands people!
