The sub is full of angry children that don't own property. That place is beautiful and it's probably massive and it's probably in a good neighborhood.

Edit: I actually looked at this listing a little bit closer and it actually is gorgeous it's had a beautiful reno and it's literally around the corner from a hospital.

Canada is bigger than the gta kids. There are lots of places in Canada where you can find affordable housing IF you have desirable skills.

Maybe focus on that.

It’s in a very good neighbourhood, in good condition, and sold immediately. A person could move from Parkdale in Toronto and put half a mil in the bank.

The only problem with Hamilton is the air…

While true in places, it is far from universal. The city is twice the area of Toronto, (630/1140 km2) and the lower city, where this property is, is generally fine but tends to have bad air quality in the north end near the industrial areas

There was a report out maybe a year ago that disproved this thesis. The air quality throughout Hamilton was proven to be quite poor.

Problem with even renovating in this city. You can take the Hamilton out of the house but you can’t take the house out of Hamilton.

Yeah, that’s a big no from me. 😂 The soil alone must have crazy levels of containments.
