Vancouver has highest ownership costs, Regina lowest: economist 

Or locals whose family already owned property there and can tap into equity as their mortgage has decreased and prices have skyrocketed

Many well paid tech employees - Amazon, Microsoft, ...

Rich Canadians and foreigners who don't mind paying for the water and mountain view.

And drug dealers

Drug dealers have played a huge part in pumping up the real estate economy out here.

Exaggerated. Most people could afford a home.

This. And Bloomberg is supposed to be a business media company? How do they spend their time?

This greed from alot of people need to stop. Also the welfare system and people that come here and don't want to work at all needs to stop too. There's a neighborhood in Ottawa that governments gave up the government housing to investors, kick these lazy welfare people out and built a nice ass condo/apartment. They stopped construction I guess due to how expensive everything is. My buddy family of 9 under one house was paying like $900 / month. Got like 6 kids all under child benefit from government. Even til this. Of of those kids don't even work and they all 20 plus years old. Just literally milking off the welfare system and we need to continue to pay for these type of people living cost. Also marijuana needs to be illegal. Who the fuck legalize drugs and corrupta the country this badly

No one seems to say anything good about Regina. Seems slightly more popular than Winnipeg though haha

Can sell a condo in Vancouver or Toronto and get nice home in Edmonton!

Windsor Ontario has the highest unemployment rate.

@@vancouverlife1 Of course Edmonton is way cheaper that depends on whether you can handle the extreme cold weather, boring and smaller cities with less opportunities in long run too.

Just put up a tent in any of the city parks. They're out there right now all over the place. And I'm not joking. Walk into any city park going to the woods and you'll find tents. They're all over the place.

And also 3rd most expensive place to live in the world.

@@shauncameron8390 Guess Vancouver houses prices will remain strong.

Neither do the limousine liberal or champagne socialist classes.

@@shauncameron8390 the socialist class is the working class. liberalism is your right to personal freedom and civil liberties. don't be ignorant be critical

ye, if you cant afford a home in Toronto or Vancouver then move to a smaller town where you can afford something. People want to live in world-class cities yet pay pennies. Also, buying a home isnt that big of a deal. it just needs a little bit of financial planning, but most people are lazy and would rather just blame it on someone or gov.
