Housing has been pretty decent here, compared to other places in Canada that aren't some far flung town of 500 people 6 hours away from population, but cars have just gone insane. I feel bad for all our friends that have kids that are turning 16 and looking to buy a car. The days of a reliable beater being a few thousand is long gone, now for $3k you get a vehicle thats one foot in its kidney car foundation grave.
