Are you sure she isn't?

There are a couple of young ladies in the orchestra here that pluck their eyebrows even more quizzically than this, they always look like they're going to be executed if they play a wrong note.

I don't know why you guys are making fun of her. She is a goddamn trooper, and a true professional.

I'm not making fun of her, I am just bewildered by her eyebrows. Also that was supposed to be 5 stars.

She does it because she can, and because she's earned it.

oh god, this perfectly encapsulates toronto. detached gang crib in the junction? that'll go for 1.5 easy.

A FEW short straws. Blah

SHE DID A STAND UP IN FRONT OF GANG GRAFFITI

five million stars

truly. this is a gem.

This is one of those rare cases where it works.

The aspect plus the squalor in the home gives those parts a real "snuff film" kinda vibe.

It's listed for 8,000 and will go above asking, because Toronto is still a crazy real estate market.

Holy crap, that place is three times the cost of my house, mind you my place didn't come pre-ganged

The average detached home price has crossed the million dollar mark, it's pretty nuts here

The long-term talk is the "Manhattanization" of Toronto, where the norm for families who want to live there is a condo. There was even briefly some talk of requiring new condos to have a certain percentage of multi-bedroom units to meet demand. Combine that with a surprise interest rate drop due to the oil industry woes and you have a market that completely ignored the housing crash of 2008 and has kept going.

This is pretty much what I see when I take a tour of a place I'm going to sublet, and is actually way better looking than the place I'm living in now. The tour's just like "ignore everything you, it's a desirable area of town. The last person left his drumset and not sure if he's coming back for it, so don't sell it but feel free to play it, just don't wake up the upstairs neighbors.." things like that.

You're hunting for real estate in Toronto? I wish you luck; I got in on my 12th offer try so be persistent; that one only had four bids on it.

Thanks, we're patient and in no rush. We have no debts and are okay so we have time.

It's just a shitty combination of factors that force us to look in Toronto for a home.

Glad to hear you found something.

My ex wife and I spent a little bit of time looking for an actual house vs. apartment when I moved back to Portland in 2008, which was actually a really good time to invest. We decided not to go down that route, but in one of the houses there was a goat in the basement. The realtor screamed but I was like "goat!" I guess it got out of the pen from next door and wound up down there.
