Cost of housing in Canada

I'm on a few of these facebook pages for people moving from Ontario to Nova Scotia. There is a lot of people moving here and buying everything they can get their hands on.

The man offering to build laneway suites in people's backyards for free, as long as he gets to collect the rents for the next decade, is actually a pretty creative thinker.

Whether his idea is successful or not, I gotta give the guy credit for thinking of an outside the box solution. (He might have more luck if he gave a portion of the rent to the actual landowner, I can't see people going for the idea & getting absolutely nothing in exchange for it)

If it does get traction, Toronto will find a way to nickle & dime the idea to death anyway. Added vehicle traffic in the area, a drastic reduction of usable space, complications with utilities, etc



There are some wrinkles that would need to be addressed, but I commend him for trying to come up with creative solutions!

I think the urban planners call it "Manhattanization"...

Toronto had 230 active cranes in the third quarter of 2022, five times more than second place Los Angeles, according to RLB’s biannual Crane Index of 14 North American cities.

As if Toronto's Gardiner Expressway isn't congested enough already,

March 19, 2024

The Gardiner Expressway is a slow drive at the best of times, but starting Monday lane restrictions along the western portion of the raised expressway, between Dufferin Street and Strachan Avenue, are expected to cause commuters traffic pain until 2027.

SK looks like an even sweeter bargain than Nova Scotia....

Saskatchewan$306,067

My sister lives in Alberta, on the SK border. Owns a quarter-section.

Never asked what she paid for it, but looks like the Ponderosa to me. :)

I had my car broken into in Yorkton on the move from Edmo to Kingston. I'm just slightly bitter about the place.

Not least being if he's a sh!t landlord, it's still the property owners who are going to have liabilities.
