It appears that in the last few years, the expense of housing has become a major stress point for many Canadians.

Rent prices feel way higher than before, shared housing is on the rise and some cities even have folks with steady jobs struggling with affordability. The housing supply and infrastructure seem to be slow to catch up with the rapidly growing population in Canada.

I do not think this is really about blaming a particular group. The bigger issue is planning, housing supply and how difficult affordability has become overall.

Curious about how others view the situation now, especially in comparison to a few years back.

There seemed to be quite the exodus of people leaving the GTA and similar for smaller towns or rural living during the pandemic due to the push for work from home and lower cost of living.

If you were one that made the move, how did it work out? Where did you move to?

Are you still in the same situation with WFH? How did you find the adjustment?
