And that is the cheapest home in the whole city.              I hate to tell you this, but if you work at Tim Horton's in a US city (or       IHOP or McDonald's or wherever), you probably are not going to be able to       afford the cheapest home in your own city, either. Certainly not one that       is not in a run-down, likely crime-ridden part of town.              > I love Ontario, but I'd rather be poor in the states.
