You may have this Polly Pocket’s dream house, on a major street, with no parking.
If you are lucky, you may still get it for a little less than $1 million,
The equivalent of a backyard shed in a normal city is $800,000 in this dysfunctional one.
(Oh, and no parking and we betcha it’s located in a rough neighbourhood)
Oh, you wanted a DETACHED house for $1.3 million?
Lol move to Oshawa.
