The housing market is highly dependent on the job market so no, it’s not “being fussy”, it’s “I need to live here so I can have a job and income”. Unless you’re suggesting that people should quit their jobs and go get that cheap house in the middle of nowhere?

What does the person who fixes your toilet do? Or prepares your meal? Or basically lives the Fight Club life?

		If they didn't tax everyone so damn much, it would work out. They fix the toilet for $200, I need to earn $400 to have that $200, and the toilet repair person gets to keep $100 after their taxes. $400->$100 in one go. Government keeps $300. Make that make sense.

		Depressingly, they bought a house in 1995 before the prices exploded. You need a 94th percentile income in Toronto to barely qualify for the average house.
