Where's your friend? $1300 cad for a 700sqft pad in Toronto is a steal!

I'm unfortunately very serious.

I second this, from Vancouver! My partner pays $1500 for less.

Just learned yesterday that a bachelor in my building is now $1850 (CAD), hydro and water extra. This is not a luxury building.

> luxury building

Fun fact, there are no luxury buildings. There's newer building and older buildings. The term luxury is just slapped onto marketing for new units being sold in new buildings. Why am I being so pedantic? Because people complain that "they only make luxury housing these days, we need affordable housing too!". Guess what, your parents' bungalow in the suburbs was likely marketed as luxury housing 50 years too.
