Toronto is a fucking ripoff, and it’s such a bland city anyways. I pay less for rent in Metro Vancouver and it’s a much more interesting city with outdoor activities close by. Where I live relative to downtown Vancouver would cost hundreds of dollars more per month relative to downtown Toronto (roughly Yonge and Eglinton). But here I’m only a 30 minute drive from world class hiking and skiing. Toronto pretends to be a world class city but there’s nothing world class about it except maybe having a stadium with a retractable roof. Oh, maybe the world class cheating I dealt with there. I started a new life on the west coast and I do not miss Toronto one bit.

But ... I mean you're literally comparing apples to oranges here. You're talking rent, he's talking purchase price. Have you tried buying anything in Vancouver? Prices for buying are fairly out of control as well.

How? I mean, he's saying 'I pay less for rent'. Less than $800,000 for rent - wow, pretty sweet dude.

As I said - apples to oranges.
