> Fwiw Toronto is quite affordable still; you can live like a king in a brand new condo with curtain glass walls overlooking the city for under US$500k.

Is this sarcasm? USD 500K translates to 660K CAD. Is this supposed to be affordable? I love Toronto but the real estate prices are out of control. They should implement similar measures in Ontario.

This is for a brand new two bedroom in a doorman building with a pool, movie theater, gym, sauna, rooftop terrace, etc.

You can't own anything at all at that price in SF or Vancouver. Maybe a shitbox in NYC.

As a senior engineer you don't get anywhere close to what you're paid in SF or NYC either. And (sadly) the depth/volume of engineering jobs is a lot poorer.
