People who live in downtown business districts in Canada’s largest cities generally pay less per-square foot than people in cities around the world and enjoy shorter daily commutes to work, according to a recent survey done on first-time home buyers by CENTURY 21.

The cost to buy in Calgary’s downtown is even more than settling in Toronto’s core which ranked 16th in the survey with the average cost running $209 per sq. ft.

George Bamber, owner of a Calgary-based Century 21 said it’s a sign of a city maturing and becoming more like Vancouver or Toronto where downtown is a place where people live and work.“You just get more real estate for your money outside of downtown,” he said. + F- e- z6 J' Y5 s7 q* l; I5 O

Part of the attraction is affordability but also people wanting to buy in to a certain lifestyle, Bamber said.

不是真的吧。我朋友在纽约,他说他买不起房子,他住公寓,房租一个月2800美刀,不过据说很奢侈。比起来,爱民顿还是很便宜的,不过可能占工资的比例就比较高。我朋友两口子年收入税后将近30万。

这数据是真的, 我在电视上也看到了, 可是统计方法有待考证.

这房子是new york Manhattan最便宜的two bedroom了, 其他的都上了50万. 要注意这个condo是co-op, 也就是说房子没有卖的权利, 要通过condo board调查买家,经过的同意才能卖.
