What could you get with CDN$650?

Since starting my new job, I've had to wake up @ 5:30/5:45 to catch the 7am GO Train to get to work for 8:30. It's brutal, so I started to look for alternatives, aka renting a place downtown! It'd really be great to live in the city again, rather then being a slave to the Go Transit schedule. My problem is that I'm not willing to spend more then $650 for rent a month... in Kingston, I hear you can find a mansion for that price. In Toronto... well, it gets you a hole in the wall (the room fit one matress... period) on the wrong side of town (south side of Dundas/Church), in a building that looks like it hasn't been vacuumed since the turn of the century, whose superintendent looked like Kid Rock's drummer. Minus the cool dreads, ofcourse.

So, it looks like I'll be up in Richmond Hill for now. If you guys know of anyone that's renting out for cheap, let me know!

And here's a thought... drop me a note and tell me what YOU can get for CDN$650 a month for rent in your city. Ha! I write as if I have an audience...

$650? You can't live in Hamilton with that price~ I guess 4 hours of sleep for ya will be the norm from now on~

You can always get a place in Scarborough... Malvern isn't too expensive ;) And you'd be close to the lovely TELUS building where we both toiled both tirelessly and relentlessly.
