A 1 bedroom condo in the neighborhood I've shared a basement with my partner in for going on 4 years now, is ~$750k CAD. I didn't even want to own something before, even when it was theoretically in the cards, but now it's so unbelievably unreachable and not-worth-it, I just think wtf

Anything we could pay for even if we really stretched irresponsibly would be twice the price and likely not provide anything we don't have except a shit ton of debt, stress, and an extra closet
