#moving to a small town “because its cheaper” is laughable here

[br1ghtestlight]

i love to say "if california wasn't so expensive" as if where im living right now isn't both more expensive and less accessible than ANY city in california or almost the entire country of america

#they're not kidding about the canadian housing crisis babes!!! #it's not so much the prices as much as bcuz the land we built on isnt like.... able to be “changed” in the way that mainland is #they physically cannot build outwards and grow the location even if people move here. it's a limited amount of space and its expensive #and a lot of canadian land is protected under government acts so it isnt as simple as like moving 300km to the west #because there ISNT 300k to the west. there isnt anything there. its either all isolated forests or oceans #vs america which as i understand it has towns and land avaliable everywhere. small towns are a THING and they arent EXPENSIVE #moving to a small town “because its cheaper” is laughable here #probably why america is a much more sucessful country than canada in terms of global reach and economic growth #so basically the main issue is immigration and american health insurance being slightly crazy #and also Money #txt
