I can't find the exact link, but this was the piece about New York

A typical New York City first-time buyer would choose a four-bedroom, two-bath, 1,400-square-foot home on a 5,562-square-foot lot priced at $525,397 ($375 per square foot) in Nassau County and 45 minutes from the Wall Street financial district by subway or car

and it was compared to a condo in Mission in Calgary

the same article said that a Mission condo goes for 500 dollars per square foot. a quick internet search turned up that the average price for Manhattan realestate is a little over 1000 per square foot
