Our response to the housing crisis is conditioned by the choices we made when faced with the industrial city’s workers’ housing crisis. We must accept this heritage and question it.
It’s like the show on TV “I’m 26, I am a cook in a fast food restaurant, my wife is 25 and a part time soap maker at home, we are looking for a house in Parkdale Toronto, our budget is 1.5 million” WTF?
My question at that point would be, “So, did you sell a house in Vancouver, win the lottery, are you related to Galen Weston or someone with similar assets, or is artisan-made soap just that profitable?” Or, more likely, is the show financing them in return for permission to film?
I bought a house in a suburb for the middle of my possible price range. I had worked out pricing options with a fee based financial advisor.
My wife and I make good money and I do not understand who is spending $1M-2M on housing, that was well above our top budget scenario.
The math doesn’t make sense to me. Someone is lying in the qualifying process.
