I suggest choosing your parents carefully. They should be elderly and in poor health, and most importantly they must own a house not too far from Toronto.

Have you considered being born 40 years earlier?

I mean… you don’t.

It’s like the old “pick two” saying

You can have cheap and nice, but it’ll be really far (from any city these days, not just the gta)

Or you can have cheap and not far, but absolutely not nice. Lucky if it’s not condemned, honestly.

You cannot have all three. Genuinely sorry :/

I'm not sure that exists to be honest with you, unless you give more clear definitions of cheap, nice, and not too far

Perhaps Newfoundland? 😁

That's just luck really. I'm in Ottawa but I got a decent rental house downtown for cheap just by looking at a randomly perfect time. It helps that it's in a college area so it's pretty loud with parties but that actually works to my benefit most of the time

London - it's cheap (because crack), nice (if you adjust your expectations), and not too far from Toronto (once they build the high speed railway).
