    It’s big and cold. How much food do you think grows there? There’s actually plenty of cheap land but people like to live with other people.

    If you don’t want modern conveniences, I bet it’s cheap. I bet you can live off of potatoes and chicken for like $0.

      It’s not cheap. Buying a crack shack in a shitty province with basically no job opportunities costs more than a nice place in LA.

      Actually.

      Getting a piece of shit, run down, SHARED town house in Nova Scotia costs more than a decent house in LA.

        You can get a rural house with land for no money. You can grown your own potatoes and raise chickens. That life is exceptionally cheap. But like I said:

        > People like to live with people.

        So the problem is, Canada is big and cold. No one wants to live in the cheap areas.

          Yeah I watch a girl on YouTube who bought a run down old house in Nova Scotia + plenty of land for I think $64k? It obviously takes a lot of work to get it modernized but it was technically liveable when she bought it. But it’s kinda out in the middle of nowhere and therefore not as desirable.

          (If anyone cares, she’s a booktuber but she has a whole video series on refurbing the house. Her name is Ariel Bissett.)
