Any other non-homeowners hate living in Canada? My loyalty to this country went from a 10 to a 0. We earn $150K household income and can't buy way out in KW anymore... at least with confidence. Like $600K for a poor quality detached home that needs major work? In Kitchener? What? I left Toronto to Mississauga to Guelph to Kitchener trying to find a place to live. It's just been too fast. It's destroyed any sense of happiness I could have about Canada. I hate it. I suppose we could buy a crappy overpriced condo, but what type of life is that out here? It works for some people, but not for who I am. I am a gardener and outdoorsy. There are no active new home developments in Guelph. Tons of land. They keep raising prices by 100K and people keep paying because they have no choice because the fed pumps immigration and visas. The builders are laughing. What a country. Everything is expensive. Taxes. No hope for a future here. It's like paying Malibu prices to live in Ohio. I want out.
