I don’t have this frame of reference since taxes haven’t changed much since I arrived. And yes I have a tract house with a two car garage and hardwood floors. Nothing exuberant but I’m content. This is more than I could buy in the countries I used to live in. Yes, the European cities are awesome by comparison but unfortunately they are inhabited by snobby cliquey Europeans. I’d know because I used to be one of them.
Gotcha. Anyhow I did update my post a little as I thought about it. And for the record Canada isn't awful. Just kind of sad seeing it become a lot less affordable just in my lifetime (and I'm only a millennial!).
