Dinky old 3 bdr house I moved into in a crap part of the GTA was $180k in the late 90s / early 2000s. Now its north of 700k. Housing is completely unaffordable in so much of Canada now its a joke. How are you even supposed to DIY anything anymore? You need to line up and get into bidding wars for apartments who have landlords that are looking for any excuse to kick you out so they can raise the rent that much more for the next sucker.

I read in Vancouver landlords make tenants fill out completely batshit agreements and then threaten to kick them out over p much anything. The agreements have asinine shit like "The tenant must agree to run the bathroom fan for at least 30 minutes after every shower. The tenant must agree to not set the temperature between these ranges during these times. The tenant may not leave the property unattended for longer than 48 hours" and they spy on tenants to hopefully catch them breaking the rules.
