This is the result of late-game capitalism because having a kid doesn't make any financial sense if you're not well off. I wouldn't want to raise a kid in a Toronto condo or a cheaper city like Barrie which is mainly white people. Western society really needs to figure it out because this issue is happening everywhere

Exactly the reason people aren't having kids is because cost of living is atrocious. What you're going to have three kids in a 1 bdrm condo paying 2500 a month?

You already see so many stories of immigrants coming here and leaving or being stuck renting half a room for 900 a month because thats all they can afford

Imagine coming to canada even with 20k in cash that ish and you rent an apt? tha't's 5000 gone right there for first and last. Then you gotta buy furniture and then hope you can get a decent paying job

Plus there's a good chance a condo is filled with escort spots, drug dealers, addicts and other things. You wouldn't want to raise a kid in that environment. Plus, there's not even spots where you can go out and play; if you want to get them into sports, it's expensive these days.

my brother in law and sister live in barrie its no longer cheap
I figured lol due to the insanity of house prices skyrocketing in places like Oshawa, Hamilton, KW, etc. None of this is sustainable, especially with the wages in Canada.

Yup not to mention all these new condos are small. And older good apartments that have space are hard to come by as no one is giving up their spot.


Honestly anywhere under 2 hours from the GTA is pricy

look at this :picard:


650 to share a ROOM :picard:, not even your own room TO SHARE A ROOM :picard:. Bring your girl over and make out with your roomate in a bed next to ya :picard:

No wonder Gen Z isn’t having sex.

Don’t be poor in this life, my friends.

Forgot about Phoenix. Yea, I remember Lucid and Rumours.

Still the craziest place was Billy Bob's in Hamilton. Those broads were DOWN My goodness.
first time i went to phoenix on a sunday i had a sean john button down chocolate brown that came with french cuffs and some touches of sammon (:dame:). i was the only man in the club with a collar shirt on. i walked thru like 5 metal detectors. no lie. went into the spot and saw nikkaz with ballshorts on like they just got off the court. ratio of men to women was 15 to 1. drop it like it's hot came on and there was like 50 wolves watching one girl twerk in the middle. i met my female co worker there. then her man showed up but i saw him before he saw us. I dipped he had friends, the only thing I brought with me that night was blinding thirst. I realized what time it was and left. didn't say a word to her she was in her own panic. dumb bish invited me to a ratchet club they both frequent. (this wouldn't be the first time :snoop:). i left with my life but not my dignity. we didn't speak of that night. in all i spent 30 minutes in there and i was having cold sweats the whole time. waaaaay out my element. i was a lot 362 type nikka go beat my juice in the corner and get a random cigarette burn on my new shirt then go home. I wasn't ready for that regent park energy in phoenix :picard:
