Mitsubishi Mirage monthly sales, US & Canada, 2013-2023 (projected 7000/yr for U.S.)

Real estate values have been 'effed in Canada for quite some time now and only getting worse. Kinda of makes me want to emigrate at times.

All that land and space in Canada, and yet real estate prices are outrageous. It's pure greed & corruption that's spearheading the housing crisis, right now, and it's a damn shame.

Albany Mitsubishi has 4x hatchbacks and 11x G4s. They're out there if you're willing to drive out to the sticks, sometimes. It's what I did when I got my 2021. Albany Mitsubishi did all right by me, even though I paid post covid prices.

90% of the Canadian population lives practically within sight of the U.S., huddled & shivering along our southern border.

...huddled & shivering along our southern border.

Chuckle, chuckle. Something wrong with yous guys to stay in that mess. I'd have to come south, thaw out.

Even still, more than enough space to build affordable housing. I imagine Canada has the same problem the US does, absolute corruption between developers and city counsel members. Everybody has to get their beaks wet, payoffs, you name it.

Yea eh, someone's getting rich.

There's way too much demand, not enough supply of homes, or apartments, which drives the prices way up. A seller's market. Cities like Toronto has an extremely low vacancy rate. Prices for just renting a room are more than my mortgage lol.

My favourite comparison on FB I see lately is people comparing house prices in Niagara Falls NY, to Niagara Falls, Ontario's.

Or Sarnia, Ont. and Port Huron Michigan. Those houses can literally "see" each other. And the price difference is startling. What money can buy over the border... I'd live like a king!

So I wish I could move to Port Huron easily.

I'm wanting to buy a few acres of wooded property, build a sizeable sheet metal building on it tucked out of road view, with big tall garage doors. A put at least 2 tiny houses on the inside. Maybe a couple gun turrets on the roof. That would be heaven on earth to me. I don't think the cost would be as much as the house I currently reside. Could put a "fire pit" outside of the tiny houses but inside the building. Maybe a stripper pole out there too! Now we're talking!

Ahhhhh, who am I kidding. Girls don't dance for Shrek.

Strippers care more about the green in your pocket, than the green skin. Lol

Well, I'm SOL.

Dirk, you have no idea. I was involved with a gal who worked on the inside of a city admin and everyone was taking a cut under the table, inspectors, bylaw officers, tax staff, contracts and tenders (that was THE plum job) and of course all the crooked council.

Oh ya, it's insane. The same house, separated by a 500' wide gorge, in Canada will sell for 10X what the house on the US side would fetch. Seriously, America is a pretty decent place to live from what I've personally experienced. I'd love, I think, to live somewhere in the southern region, the Carolinas? Maybe Georgia? I don't think south Florida would do it. Maybe northern Fla on the Gulf side. Both our countries have lost the plot. We were kind and easy going and known as peacekeepers and America was a solid bastion of freedom and work hard and succeed and now? efff, it's just a massive mess. Both our lands are full of retards who can't think their way out of a paper bag even though they have a degree. Enough ranting from me, sorry. I just hate my kids are being handed.
