2 + 2 = 5: Apr 11, 2003; I find it decidedly INCONVENIENT that the gun was never found.

How would a crash or major downturn impact rent in big cities (specifically Toronto/Vancouver)?

Soon no one will be able to afford condos

That means now is the ideal time to buy, since prices always go up. When prices are even more unaffordable, selling the condo for a profit will be a piece of cake because there will be lots of people that can afford it waiting to buy.

It also has a a somewhat weak economy but still pretty much the only metropolitan area in Canada that doesn't have ripoff housing prices while having good transit/poo poo to do.

Quebec City is also extremely great, probably 2nd best quality of life (considering cost of living) after Montreal.

Isn't Quebec city a new urbanism hipster's nightmare of strip malls and highways?

You can rent a 1 bedroom 3rd floor walkup in Limoilou (10 minute walk to old Quebec/downtown) for 5-600/mo. The priciest accommodations you can find in town are like $800-1000/mo for a ridiculously beautiful 1 bedroom. Steps to great nightlife. Eat pork and veal from Charlevoix. Pay gouge prices for wine. Drink malty rear end beer. J'aime Quebec.

I'd love Quebec if it wasn't full of French people and wasn't so loving cold all the time

Maybe French people aren't nice to you because you seem to have racist jerk attitudes towards them?

Target just announced it is closing all 133 Canadian stores despite our strong stable economy.

Target has approximately 18000 employees in Canada, they are getting 16 weeks severance pay.

You can do it there, many have.

Yup. I live in city centre Quebec City, walk to work (and practically everything else I do), and pay $815 for a 2 BR with a balcony that looks over the Laurentians. I don't miss paying $1400 for a hole in Toronto. And most people here are helpful if you're putting in some effort to learn French.
