Yeah seems like we’ve had very different experiences. I haven’t had bad experiences renting and have lived in a couple of different places, never in a building with more than 4 floors tho. A lane way house could be a good compromise for you. Or a townhouse.
I have a single friend renting a sfh and both him and his wife bring 150k+ per year, he pays double what I do. Don’t get me wrong, prices of housing is obscene. But in Brazil it also gotten more expensive, I’ve more than doubled my money selling my house in ~8y over there. Price of food at least in my city (Florianópolis) can be more expensive than Vancouver. Going out has gotten crazy expensive too over there. I was impressed when I went back on December
- lbrito 4y agoSorry, I find that hard to believe (about food). I was in Floripa a couple of years ago and ate a huge platter of seafood for like 100 reais. The equivalent 20 CAD doesn't even buy a hamburger in Vancouver. Yeah, I know inflation has been wild back home, but it is still a long, long way from being as unaffordable as here. My semi monthly supermarket run here goes around 400 CAD, and back home would be more like 1000 BRL. To each their own. I'm glad you have been having a great time and wish you the best.
- aprdm 4y agoYou can buy a burger for 15 bucks, even at earls. 100 reais is an appetizer of shrimps now a days, with like 15 shrimps. I think you’re out of touch of just how expensive it has gotten. Wish you the best too.
