> - Canada, [...] are nice but have astronomically high housing prices.

Vancouver, Toronto, and the surrounding areas have crazy housing prices, but the rest of the country is still mostly okay. These are the two biggest English-speaking cities, and about a third of the country lives in either of them, so they're where most new immigrants tend to go, but there are still tons of other great cities in Canada with better housing prices.

Calgary's housing has gone kind of out of control too. It's slowed down now, but for a while it was crazy. I own my house in Calgary and my property value went up by ~250k since I bought in 2018. Lucky for me but kind of insane growth

I'm in Calgary too, and housing has definitely jumped a lot since Covid, but we're still not quite at the Vancouver/Toronto insanity of $1MM for a 1-bedroom apartment (and hopefully it stays that way!).

Yeah, I agree. As much as I like seeing the value of my property grow, I don't think it's overall very good for the city or society if no one can afford homes
