Canadian Politics Today

I never understood living in an expensive city….

Well, family is here. There are more jobs.  I've been working mostly at home since the early 2010's and I live in a secluded part of the city so it doesn't really feel like a big city. 

For real-estate, I don't understand anyone who would be moving to this city but for someone like me who got lucky it's not that bad.  My dad retired in the early 2000's and gave me a rather generous lump sum for a down payment so I got in the market just before things got really stupid. 

I count my blessings for the assistance and timing for sure but I definitely won't be retiring here.  Not a chance.
