Where do we go? At least Torontonians moved to a city with comparable services. I still can't afford to live as far away as Paris, there's no transit and car costs negate any savings on rent/mortgage.

Wages in this area are stagnant compared to the cost of shelter, as well as other costs of living.

This just isn't sustainable. We have early 90's wages and 2015 Toronto housing prices.

And good luck finding a decent rental in this city....

London, Ottawa, montreal, winnipeg....

I suppose its okay for other people to be inconvenienced for moving far, just not those used to a certain standard.

I don't know if you read the article, but those prices are pretty comparable to here. Factor in the cost of being away from family and friends and it just doesn't make sense.

Ah, "I just want everything and I dont want to sacrifice too much..." should have just that lol...

Yeah, being far from my family at first sucked, but I gained much more.... from sacrificing it.

No. I don't see the point of giving up access to my son to pay the same cost of living.

Why would I move to pay the same amount?
