yeah I guess it boils down to whether you want to live a few extra years in a miserable rent controlled apartment or roll the dice for the chance at owning property with few safety nets in place

You aren’t a Euro though?

I genuinely don’t understand why you haven’t immigrated. You openly hate everything about your country yet stay there and why

I think both of those options are totally valid fwiw. canada is sort of a mix of both EU and U.S. imo.

The descriptor “miserable” on the apartment suggests otherwise 

America is so rich there is no reason for what we see here, would be my argument. 

I really think you have to leave Canada.

I hated where I lived for the past year. I step over needles and passed out fent addicts every single time I go to the gym. I am in the final weeks and the relief is palpable

so happy to hear that you’re moving on, definitely doesn’t seem like a good fit for you. plus the constant hot temps reduce longevity as you know 😂
