Two current multicultural housing bubbles to avoid.

This anonymous author at Return of Kings misses one point. It was a deliberate plan. Trudaeu, senior, and his Liberal party decided Canada would become the progressive experiment for the world and as multicultural and tolerant as possible. They bought in a code of rights and responsibilities that make it illegal to turn back.

Does not matter. It will fail.

Toronto is a failed social experiment. It’s almost as if the elites decided to flood the place with immigrants, introduce feminism and flamboyant homosexuality, and see how far things go before everything collapses—much like the mice utopia experiment done by John B. Calhoun.

People often think that Sweden is on its way to collapse as the first casualty in the West, but I disagree. Sweden is far more robust with its core European population who can easily turn things around should they finally wake up. The same cannot be said for Toronto and much of Canada.

I fully expect this city to bust once potential immigrants stop coming here after finally realizing that it’s a city built on lies with no future to speak of. As for myself, I have no desire to sit and wait for the shit to hit the fan. I have no bitterness as I leave this city; I simply desire to experience life in places with better climate and nicer women.

Toronto has a housing bubble. It has a horrible transport system. And it is smug, provincial, proud in a way the Prairies are not: they know times are hard and people are suffering and (though they are proud of being progressive) they do not claim to be a world-class city.

If you are Canadian, be not where the crowds are. If at all possible get out of Ontario: if you cannot leave Ontario, get out of the GTA.

I could say the same thing about Auckland. It has become just as multicultural. We do not have Canadian Kangaroo Courts (though our progressive lawyers want them) The house prices have gone crazy: they were crazy in 2012 and are more so now.

Even with its mold-streaked bathroom and kitchen without a sink, the duplex in bayside Auckland attracted a frenzied bidding war. Now it’s one of the city’s newest million-dollar government-built houses.

The two-bedroom, brick cottage on Kerr Street on the city’s inner north shore fetched NZ$1.04 million ($685,000) at an auction in September, netting the vendor, New Zealand’s government, double a valuation used for taxes. Long symbols of economic disadvantage, homes built by the state last century for low-income tenants are on a tear, thanks to their typically generous land sizes and proximity to the city.

The changing fortunes of these modest dwellings — loved and derided by New Zealanders for their functionality over style — reflect a fervor that’s spurred Auckland’s biggest property boom in two decades. The average house price in New Zealand’s largest city is now higher than London’s.

Well, I left Auckland a decade ago. It was pretty unlivable: the schools ranged from elite (which cost a lot to buy into zone or in fees) to sink schools. Moving to Dunedin helped sort out the kids schools cheaper than the required move in Auckland.

But… remaining in Auckland is less wise. Proximity of multiple cultures and religions leads to conflict. And when times are tough, and tension is rising, cash up.

And get yourself where the crowds are not.
