My original question was also ignored.
Do people honestly believe Toronto & Vancouver housing prices were driven by actual demand and not external shady circumstances?
Why is Vancouver SO much higher than Montreal? Calgary? And why has it been higher for so much longer than other cities in Canada? Where is the money coming from that is driving that insane demand?
