The thing we have going for us more than the rest of yall (with maye the exception of Vancouver) is the sheer amount of money laundering that is taking place via our real estate.. adding a whole other layer of fudged up to it.

Our housing policy is such a joke. Entrenched by years of boomers who bought cheap and made a killing fighting every idea that would increase supply and lower property values. At this rate I will have enough for a 1-bd condo down payment by the time I'm in my late 30s, at which point it won't be nearly enough.

My area is not bad, it's nice but it's not richy rich, that's 3 blocks south. Over there the houses are about 3-5 million.

Here's one a few blocks from me for example...

Oh yeah there’s a road nearer the centre which is all big detached Georgian mansions. You’re looking €16million a house there...

Comically I used to rent a room in a kip of student house around the corner for peanuts and pass them all by on my way to catch the tram to work...

I’m 8 miles out from the city centre because it’s €300k for a 2 bed apartment out here, any nearer in and you need 2 incomes to make it feasible which is just shit tbh!

I bought a place in London (ahem....zone 5) a year ago last week. We started in the middle and worked our way out until we found somewhere affordable that wasn't a shoe box. Its a 1 bed flat (with a view to die for to be fair). My good mate bought a place in Newcastle at a similar time for £100,000 less, its a 3 bed house, 2 bathrooms, a front and rear garden, parking spot at the front, seperate 2 car garage at the back. Depressing.

Yeah it is. I am lucky that I bought at the right time 8 years ago but my apartment is worth more than the detached country house my dad built on the other side of the country... it’s absolutely nuts, it was built in a field so his garden is enormous, I have a balcony!

Oh I totally get you there! I remember sending photos of places I was looking at to my parents and they genuinely though I was joking when I told them the prices. They couldn't quite believe it. And dont even get me started on explaining the prices to my my 'we bought our house for £12,000' grandparents :ROFLMAO:

I fucking hope not! House price inflation had been outstripping wage inflation for over 30 years now. If it keeps going at this rate no one but the super rich will own property and even relatively well off people will be getting gouged for rent.
 
My 1500sf childhood tract home is estimated 1.4M on Redfin. Good ol' San Jose.

I doubt Storf makes very much money. These types of companies are very top heavy, everyone below make peanuts. Also, a bungalow in Toronto starts at 1 Million so I'd imagine depending on his town it could still be pretty pricey.

It's all relative though, compared to what I can get here for 1 million CAD (i.e. 700k €) a bungalow would be a dream.

Then again I live in a city of bankers and European wolves of wall street I'm not a banker nor a wolf..
 
Got a response from Jason at VMP support about the damaged booklet. They'll be replacing the booklet and it will ship in late July/early August with the replacement Dexter Gordon jacket and correct Schizophrenia LP.
