Picture this: You're the average #Canadian, which means your take home pay after taxes is $4000 a month. Ontario is expensive, so you allocate $1400 a month to #rent an apartment in the #GTA. These are your SEVEN choices as of March 30th, 2023
@RE_MarketWatch @ronmortgageguy
@RE_MarketWatch @ronmortgageguy What happens if you bump up your #rental budget to $1600? You now get 15 choices, IF you include the ONE in #Mississauga.
What about $1800? Any guesses? 24 is your answer.
So now you're desperate, you decide to allocate HALF of your take home pay to rent, which is $2000. Doing so, you've upped your prospective apartment rentals all the way too....58 listings. How can we make it more clear that things are truly desperate for the average 🇨🇦?
@CBCToronto @globalnewsto @nationalpost @TorontoStar You should all be reporting this and absolutely GRILLING our politicians. They are failing the #Canadians who pay their salaries. Canada #realestatemarket is truly sick
So now you think, "well the #GTA is just to expensive. Maybe I can go to #Hamilton. Sure it's a long commute to the city, but I should be able to afford an apartment there & get below $2000". Here's the 23 choices you have as for March 30th 2023
Everyone needs and should have a roof over their head, but no working #Canadian should have to go into debt to do it. This is unsustainable, FULL STOP!
