We're back. Real Estate Without Borders. Today we are going all around the world, maybe on a private jet, because I think we're starting off with the world's most expensive cities to live in in 2025. And then I don't know what's after that.
B (0:16)
Then we'll jump. Yeah. World's most unaffordable housing markets, which will be really cool. And then we're going to jump into the highest cost of living, the cities with the highest cost of living globally. The two kind of go hand in hand here.
A (0:29)
Yeah, for sure.
B (0:29)
But the cool thing is some of the, the lists that I'm. That I see here, obviously the first few I think are kind of expected, but some on here I would have never have thought. And Canada is in the top. There's a city in Canada in the top four, which is really cool, which we're going to get to. We have. How many Canadian cities we got on here? One, two.
A (0:51)
Too many.
B (0:53)
Too many. But see, before we get into this, these are the only two cities that are cool to live in in Canada. Sorry I said it don't come from you Canadians. It's like, where else are you gonna go? You know, all these cities around the world are super cool. Canada, we got two spots and they're both on the list.
A (1:07)
I don't even like cities. So you're not wrong.
B (1:11)
I agree. I think like, in terms of, of like talent coming, like someone purposely moving from anywhere globally to come to a city. There's like two locations, maybe three in Canada and then that's it. Yeah, maybe four.
A (1:24)
As a, as a suburban slash rural folk, I would say these are the two cool places to live in the country. Near in the can in Canada. Although I do like, like the country out in like the Calgary area as well. Of course it's pretty sick. Like, you know, the mountains, if you go between Calgary and the mountains, like get a nice piece of land out there, be pretty sick, to be honest.
B (1:47)
I'm a Canadian, I live in Toronto. I spend winters in Mexico. But Calgary has got me tempted. I just don't do well in the winters.
A (1:55)
So this is interesting. Like, their winters are very different. Like, I agree with you, but Toronto's winters are bad, man. Like, they're so wet and salty and like damp and that damp cold. Like it could be minus five in Toronto with that, like. And it's like snowy rain. You know that like snow that melts when it hits your jacket and you're just soaked and miserable and chilled to the bone. And it could be minus 30 in Calgary and it's dry. You can literally take a leaf blower and blow the snow off your driveway and it's somehow. And it's sunny because it's always sunny there. Like, they have, like, way more sun. And I think that. That I would prefer that, honestly, to a Toronto winter where it's like, overcast and wet. So I think the truth is, like, if you live in Toronto, it's very much like New York where people just get out for winter, you know, go to Miami or whatever. Somewhere else in the eastern time zone. Est, whatever it is.
