On one hand, it kind of needs to happen. Our economy as a whole is overleveraged on housing. On the other hand… A large proportion of our MPs are either landlords or reported housing related income, too, so why would they want things to change?

I’m in the unfortunate situation that I can’t possibly wait it out, for accessibility reasons. I’m utterly pissed off at the idea that I’m probably throwing way my life savings at a card castle that’s waiting to crumble. It’s just completely fucked up.

its completely ridiculous too from a value perspective. like really? 10 years ago this was 300k, what about it now makes it 1.3 lM? same with groceries I just don't believe that the prices are "real". I've seen a bunch of ads for toronto condos too, I feel like they're pumping a little too hard and it'll hit a breaking point. IDK, thats just the vibe i'm getting.
