An absolute dump is now selling for about 400,000 in my area. 1 Acre (bare) is selling for 600,000. It is rediculas! and box homes are going up everywhere. A dinky little condo is selling for around 350,000. And they just go up from there! These are canadian prices and they expect them to keep climbing until 2008! I don't blame the immigrants one bit for putting 20 families in one home. How else can you afford it! One bedroom apartments START at 750.00 that is no heat, power, TV nothing. I have no idea what people on welfare can even do? They get about 600.00 per month (I think) if they have no children.. Tent cities are getting huge! It's a sad state. Hong Kong is buying up most of our land at the moment.
