Where are these really nice homes in Los Angeles for $500K? My experience is that a single-family house going for that price is old and small, and probably in an undesirable location. I would expect to pay $800K+ for anything a person could reasonably consider to be "really nice" and in a decent area.
Eh, he's probably talking about real estate in Palmdale, Eastvale, and Temecula. All technically part of Greater LA in some way. Eastvale is a nice, newer area, but far away from Downtown LA. And it will also get hotter and smoggier than other parts of Greater LA.
But yeah, if you're talking about less remote (but still pretty faraway) suburbs like Irvine, it's not going to be cheaper than somewhere like Markham, Ontario. For $500K you can barely get a 1000 sq ft town home in Irvine, much less a single family home.
Hundreds of responses in this thread and you're still asking this question?

Yea that what I mean in Oklahoma base on Wikipedia 3,956,97 has the population and Ohio base on wikipedia has 11,689,100 has the population!!!
That is 11 times more people than Manitoba of just over million people or like in Saskatchewan of just over million people.
Way more people, cities and towns and people in those states. In places like Manitoba or Saskatchewan even $150,000 home or $200,000 home is way too much for middle class home base on the US.
And with cold weather, hardly any population, hardly any population growth and so much land no water or any thing it is very odd.
There some reason homes are very costly in Canada just don't know why? If any thing homes should be way cheaper in Canada than the US base on population and not many cities like the US.
I mean you cannot buy middle class home in Manitoba or Saskatchewan for $150,000 or $200,000
Well, Toronto is a more attractive city than anything you can find in Texas.
yea Texas is nice if you white and conservative and like suburbs and hate the city. AND you love to drive a SUV and own home than be in apartment And love to go jail for less than one gram of weed or get shot by the cops.
Toronto nice if you are liberal, hate to own a home and really love apartments and love drinking and smoking pot and going to clubs.

Have you been to Texas? Done any research on Texas? Travis County, Harris County, and Dallas County are all solidly Democratic. Several suburban counties like Fort Bend are left leaning as well.
Texas is over 35% Hispanic and 11.8% Black. You also have lots of Asians in Collin County, Fort Bend County, etc.
My guess is that you are Canadian and have no idea how diverse Texas, let alone the whole USA, is.
A coworker said to me today on this topic of this thread that construction workers in Canada like housing construction or road construction get lot more pay than construction workers in the US and that why homes may cost so much more in Canada.
He also said there is a very small number of developers building apartments and homes in Canada unlike the US that has lot more competition.
He was also saying he knows people in Toronto suburbs that got a house for $800,000 Well he knows people in Dallas and Houston that has house that they got for $300,000 and is way bigger in size and more property in the city not the suburbs there.
There are many cities, like SF, LA, NYC, DC, and Boston that are much more expensive than Dallas or Houston. Not all of America is as cheap as Texas.

I realize the cities are turning blue and more diversity but the problem with Texas is the state votes red and been like that for long time. That if the cities where a state on their own they would vote blue.
It is the same thing in Toronto where Toronto votes liberal and the suburbs in Toronto vote conservative but in Ontario is more like Florida where some times it is liberal and some times it is conservative.
Also the liberal party in Canada and Conservative party in Canada are more centrist party now. Thay argue on social programs but conservatives will not ban abortion or not support LGBT in other words conservative have moved to the left in Canada being more centrist party. But way more conservative on social programs.
Where in the US Conservative party has shifted to more to the right. Just look at Trump vs Bush or the other Conservative party in the US other than going back to the 50s and 60s

You do realize that in one state alone like the state of California have more people than all of Canada and yet Canada is second biggest country in the world when it comes to land.
Homes any where in Canada should not be any where more than $300,000 at the most in the big cities and smaller cities well under $150,000 base on population and land area.
And Greater Los Angeles of population being 18,788,800 people vs Greater Toronto Area of 6,417,516 base of Wikipedia that means small middle class home in Toronto that cost million should cost 4 million or more in Greater Los Angeles base on land area and people.
And be worse in Greater Los Angeles and San Francisco of the mountain being in the way that Toronto and lot of cities in Canada do not have that problem. So in reality small middle class home there should cost well over 4 million and that not the case.
You do realize that in one state alone like the state of California have more people than all of Canada and yet Canada is second biggest country in the world when it comes to land. Yes, most Americans, contrary to stereotype, know geography and know that Canada is bigger than the US in area. We also know that the vast majority of Canada is far too cold for most humans. That small sliver of habitable land in Canada may not be much bigger than California in land area.

That's not how it works. The Bay Area has roughly the same population as GTA yet the Bay Area is more expensive than the GTA or Greater LA. Also, by your logic, Vancouver should have cheaper real estate than GTA.because Vancouver has less people. But we all know that Vancouver is more expensive than the GTA. There's many other factors other than metro area population that drive up house prices.
And be worse in Greater Los Angeles and San Francisco of the mountain being in the way that Toronto and lot of cities in Canada do not have that problem. Well Vancouver definitely has mountains in the way. And Los Angeles may be surrounded by mountains, but there's still plenty of flat land available in the Inland Empire.

This is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read on CD. Congrats, bro....
Texas has some of the biggest cities in the US. The Dalla/Fort Worth area and Houston are both in the top 10 largest cities in America. Also, Houston is arguably one of the most diverse cities in America. More so than LA even.... I don't even live in Texas or have any affiliation with Texas, but I just had to comment on how utterly uninformed and stupid your post was. Sorry if you're butthurt about it, but this was just so dumb.....laughable really.
Maybe u should put the bong down bro and inform yourself.
And lets be honest. I'm no canada hater. I actually respect Canada a lot and Canadians have a lot to be proud of, but overall Toronto is straight-up ugly and uninspiring looking. Especially in the winter. U.G.L.Y

Then again, the US Democrats are shifting more and more to the left. Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, are all the rage. Even many Republican voters want Medicare for All, legal recreational marijuana, are pro choice, and pro gay rights.
And once again, most of America is more progressive than Texas. If even Texas has pockets of progressivism, just imagine how much more progressive Massachusetts or California are.
Even the suburbs of Los Angeles, like once conservative Orange County, are rapidly shifting leftward. Orange County voted for Hillary. If you could take a poll of Irvine and Markham, both of which are upper middle class, heavily Asian, relatively new, outer suburbs, they'd be almost identical politically. Irvine is rapidly shifting leftward as well.
