It's an ideal world which doesn't exist, unless otherwise you wish to live in a village (not the urban village).



Actually this ideal world does exist, South of the border. No houses for $100K but $300K will get you a better house than what we see on the much touted Mississauga Road. trust me, been there, done that.

Anticipating the usual "buts...." no, "people are not loosing their homes" in the US unless they took mortgages they couldn't afford to pay. And no they are not all jobless over there. the job market is tough everywhere 9and Canada's recession hasn't even started yet).

***Disclaimer (TK style) ***
The above is in response to febpreet's post and is in no way an attempt to hijack this thread ad turn it into a pro America thread. I certify that I am of sound mental health and hence will never attempt to openly praise America in a Canadian (desi) forum. This thread has and always will be dedicated to highlighting the ugly side of Toronto to ensure a balanced view :D

Or, there's an option. Pay $650,000 for a doll house in picturesque Vancouver, and then spend another $100,000 on upgrades. Get out of GTA as it's a horrible and scary city. Problem solved, eh?



Why get out? I have as much right to live here and complain about how ridiculous things are as you do to live here, get ass r*ped and actually be happy about it :D

The way I look at it, I am complaining cuz I know things can be better and hence want things to get better. You don't complaint cuz you know things can be worse and hope that they don't get worse. each to his own - that's democracy. or did you forget? :p



Bud, take it easy. Slow down :). Thoda saans bhi lele yaar!
