The issue in Canada is also location dependent, some areas 10x plus others not. But even worse is that housing across the board has gone up as people flee the high price areas, bringing demand to the cheaper areas, and therefor raising the prices.

There are a few areas that have become so impossible to afford (Canmore, Banff, Vancouver etc.) that the lower earning workers are living in tents (this also happens in the states but is new there I hear).

Yeah my home town that's a little over an hour outside of a city has small houses selling for half a million (CAD) now. I don't even know how anyone from the town would afford that on their retail or factory work income
