Similarly I'm sure that in the Australian outback one can find an affordable home, or in the Yukon. The problem is housing prices in the places people want to live and are able to find work.
- ghaff 4y agoThere is something in between. There are places that are accessible--if not every day conveniently commutable--to reasonably-sized cities that are pretty reasonably-priced. But that's not a great tradeoff for someone who wants to live in the core of a relatively major city where they can walk to restaurants and twee coffeeshops--or does need to commute into the city most days.
- maxerickson 4y agoYeah, that's what I was getting at, it's not the abundance or lack of space that is the issue. Thanks for emphasizing!
- ttul 4y agoThe Yukon is insanely expensive. A single family home is C$639K. A condo is C$416K. Maybe better than Vancouver (C$1.9M), but still crazy compared with incomes (median is C$100K). https://yukon.ca/sites/yukon.ca/files/ybs/fin-yukon-real-estate-report-q4-2022.pdf https://yukon.ca/sites/yukon.ca/files/ybs/fin-yukon-real-est...
- OccamsMirror 4y agoThe houses will be cheaper in the outback for sure, but they will be less plentiful. Good luck finding a decent rental outside of cities.
