It's just crazy to think that anyone looking for a house right now would jump on a detached in Vancouver for $1.5M, but to have a $5k mortgage payment.. And that's JUST mortgage.. Let alone expense like property tax, utilities, etc.

I was thinking about how much money our government spent during the last couple of years... We can't default on our payments, can we? I'm not even sure how that works
5k+ mortgages are probably pretty standard these days with prices the way they are
