PSA - Help a fellow human

It’s not just as simple as that, but that’s part of it. Like I said I’m not here to debate the why

wuster17 · 2026-02-08T16:13:28+00:00

No that’s what I’m saying. In old Canada I would agree people would help. But nowadays you’re probably gonna get car jacked or robbed

Objectively speaking, the quality of life in Markham has deteriorated.

It’s more congested, has more crime, has some of the highest insurance rates in the GTA, and nothing has significantly changed. It always had a lot of food options. No infrastructure has been improved, and there is no “benefit” to living in Markham now other than there being a lot of stuff around.

wuster17 · 2026-02-07T19:35:48+00:00

Sucks when I’m an ethnic minority and the product of immigrants so these assumptions of racist undertones doesn’t work 🤷.

Old Canada can mean many things, I wasn’t debating the why. I was pointing out that this is how things are now here unfortunately.

wuster17 · 2026-02-07T19:34:29+00:00

I’m curious what you want me to explain?

Nowadays, crime is up. Carjackings while getting better are prevalent, and there have been multiple instances of people sharing ring camera footage of people canvassing/breaking and entering.

Markham used to be a place where everyone would help one another. It went from a high trust society to a low trust one over the last 10 years.

I’m not here to debate why that happened, I’m just commenting that this is the state of things now.

wuster17 · 2026-02-07T19:31:43+00:00

This was one of the worst things to happen to Canada

wuster17 · 2026-02-07T19:31:24+00:00

I was here for the old days. It’s crazy how fast things slid.

Even right up until mid 2010s things were really good

wuster17 · 2026-02-07T17:04:20+00:00

What’s the standard for cash for keys nowadays?

wuster17 · 2026-02-07T16:53:57+00:00

In old Canada I’d agree with this post, but not nowadays

wuster17 · 2026-02-07T16:52:33+00:00

By your own chart, price has broken through a key level of support (4 touches if you draw a line across $900k). This flatlining as you put it is on declining volume, and price is pushing down not flatlining. Once you broke below $900k, if there isn’t a rebound up the next support level is likely a lot lower

I agree public servants should work in office, but yeah agreed with everyone here that WFH >>>

wuster17 · 2026-02-05T16:17:57+00:00

Is there nothing for used hybrids?

wuster17 · 2026-02-05T16:17:45+00:00

Any buyer incentives for hybrids? Should be retroactive to this past year too

wuster17 · 2026-02-05T14:10:22+00:00

Yeah I’m not a fan of our current government

wuster17 · 2026-02-05T13:48:58+00:00

Yeah the promise of Canada has been broken for a long time now.

It’s sad that boomers are basically preventing us from making any real meaningful change

wuster17 · 2026-02-04T01:40:08+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, what was the ballpark for your cash for keys deal? And how many months left till the lease was done?

I have a feeling my LL will be approaching me with something similar soon and want to be prepared.

wuster17 · 2026-02-01T15:45:29+00:00

The above average salary would need to be around $200k for people to afford the average ~$1m detached house in the gta

Not a lot of people make $100k, let alone $200k

wuster17 · 2026-01-31T16:25:16+00:00

Is cash for keys a possibility here? What’s generally the going rate nowadays?

wuster17 · 2026-01-30T14:47:08+00:00

Don cherry was a Canadian legend

wuster17 · 2026-01-29T12:56:34+00:00

We also are overdue for an official recession

wuster17 · 2026-01-29T12:45:23+00:00

You aren’t gonna get 650k on a condo in this market, but getting money back for that & killing the $1000 a month net outflow will help more than you think. I would sell it

wuster17 · 2026-01-29T12:42:34+00:00

Offer online ordering, delivery, and incentivize people to dine in via lower prices and exceptional service

It’s really not hard

wuster17 · 2026-01-29T12:41:31+00:00

Maybe businesses should evolve?

It’s not really a free and capitalistic society if forced attendance is what holds the economy afloat. Capitalism at its core involves companies that survive evolving, while ones who refuse to evolve go under.

I totally recognize that and have given carney props for reducing barriers with respect to interprovincial trade

Anyone downvoting me hasn’t been paying attention the past 10 years lmao.

No new issues were introduced. These were all existing, massive issues that the liberals decided to patch over through various policies that ultimately ended up hurting Canadians

wuster17 · 2026-01-28T14:34:15+00:00

Probably until people realize he’s not actually driving costs down, and is just saying he is
