Hey you got Tacofino so there’s that.

No but seriously it’s nuts how expensive the island is and I’m from Toronto

I’m in Comox! I don’t even get Tacofino.

The Canadian government’s, at all levels, unwillingness to do anything but talk about housing without action blows my mind. It’s like they never noticed what happened in the US.

Why would you call it a nothing town? Seems like a really nice place. I envy you for all the nature and the sea.
Its a great town for livability!

I called it a nothing town in reference to real estate. We are hours from major economic areas, have no industry to speak of, aren't constrained in land area, don't have anything unique, etc...

Nevertheless a "cheap" 3 bedroom house is $650k.
