This is due to a few factors:
- US house taxes are very high in any place worth living in.
- This is typical Boomer demographics, they are dying.
- Older Boomers cannot afford to get sick in the US.
- This peaked after 2008 when US housing was cheap.
People* don’t want to live in the US*.
When we hit peak water, Canada and Greenland both will get invaded.
all of the great lakes are accessible by the US already.
Then I hope the US knows how to respond to Urban terrorism, because Canadians will go across the border silently, and we will destroy everything we can.
Canada is re-arming, and the United States military is notoriously incompetent.
What do you mean incompetent? They’re in the top 3 concerning civilian casualties! Only Russia and Israel are better at murdering defenceless people!
I’m honestly shocked that’s all it dropped - I’d have expected at least a third.
I imagine the wealthy are over represented in the segment of Canadians looking to buy American homes, and most feel reasonably confident that overrides everything else.
Wealthy or young professionals who can make a significant amount more money in America vs. Canada, which is generally the same thing.
To be fair, are they wrong? Wealthy is the only truly privileged group in America. For a few million, you can outright buy American citizenship now
When all of us in the USA are all dying of fire and Canada is nice and cool, this will make even more sense than it does now.
Canada
will getis getting warmer too you know. From nice and cool to nice and warm. Same as here in Norhern Europe*, and I believe the influx of rich “Southerners” will increase, if it hasn’t already.* I can’t believe how far South Canada goes. The most populated area is on a latitude with Central Europe. I live on the same latitude as, say, Anchorage. I can’t even find a reasonably-sized town in Canada. But afaiu climate is very different because of the Gulf stream?
Research from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources indicates that ice fishing season is three weeks shorter on average than it was in the 1970’s. Increasing temperatures = less ice on lakes = shorter ice fishing season. If climate change is impacting Wisconsin, it’s already impacting Canada.
Oh sure, I phrased it a little badly.
In other places it shows more during the summer, in the North it shows more during the winter. can’t remember the last time we had a proper one here, without several melting and re-freezing phases.
Living in Southern Ontario the climate here is already fucked. this past winter was just all over the place. Didn’t have much of a spring just transitioned from Winter to Summer. probably going to be the same for Fall just from Summer right to Winter. I mean we had a few chilly days in August.
Climate is different for a few reasons but the Gulf Stream is one of them.
makes sense to not want to get detained for three weeks
Economy is going to contract especially come spring. These snowbirds most of the time were more kind than locals. People have no idea how much money they pump into local economies.
Hopefully this is advantageous to midterms but who knows.
Good. Get the fuck out with your rental property.
Here’s hoping for Drake and Bieber being among those 20%.
Do you remember a white Canadian reggae artist called Snow, best known for “Informer”, in the early 90s? He pretty much disappeared from the music scene after he stayed in Canada.
I wonder what effect all this is having on the timeshare industry….
America the continent.
Americans are so lazy they omit 75% of their country’s name.
Does that include Canadians and Mexicans?
I had that argument a long time ago and I tend to agree with you, but unfortunately it’s officially OK to call the US of NA just America.
