      Sorry you came at a bad time. It appears that Canada followed the 'China model' of real estate development and now we are headed in the same direction (ghost cities, tofu-dregs, rotten-tails, and subdivided homes). Nowhere in Canada is safe from speculators. People born and raised here can't even find affordable homes to buy, and nothing will get better until our government changes legislation to disincentivize or prohibit speculation in residential property (including still allowing foreigners who have no intention of ever living here to buy "investment" property).

    I mean sure its not the best location given the powerline and the jails, but to say that its only speculators buying is just not true. In addition, its not "speculation" if an asset is producing a reliable cashflow and can maintain/appreciate in value over time....its an investment...i know you are grumpy that the market is not falling appart but as a realtor you should know that there is a difference between speculating and investing in real estate. Interesting video nonetheless, Cheers!

    • @jonflynn

      haha cashflow, not even close. They're all negative cashflow and never had any intention of maintaining a reliable investment, pure speculation. $700-$800K for $2500-2800/month, do the math.

You said there was no fence around the detention center but than fly a drone over it showing mulitple levels of fencing and security. In niagara falls you now have housing backing right up to "gentlemans clubs" which have had many shootings/violence in the parking lot. Thete has never been an escape from the detention center.

Felt like suing the listing agent for misleading photos and info, and am not dumb enough to live in sth that close to power lines knowing they cause cancer. The development Jon shows is a mid-boggling joke... how can anyone be uneducated and dumb enough to purchase a home near a source of cancer?
