Claeren.
So you've drawn a few circles around the core of each city and said everyhing in this radius should be X:1 ratio in price compared to the core.
Conceptually anyway.

Interesting idea, but I'm not sure the markets work that way. Even if they did it could be that our core is undervalued, not the other way around.

And land is unlimited everywhere. I'm not sure what makes bald prairie so special that we can build out easier than Vancouver or Toronto. Hell we'd have to build out for a few more decades to get even close to where they are anyway.
