My guess is that the contractors are doing very well. This on
the basis on the number of deccies who have quit and set up
shop the last 6 months. As well there is a general shortage
of VAX people in town (Digital has had put on a massive effort
to get up to staff)
As to housing cost, they have cooled off (ie stop growing).
Don Mills semi 180-220k$
Markham semi 140-160k$
Down town 1 bedroom condo 150k$
Down town rent 650-750$/month for 1 bedroom condo

Not bad...taking into account the exchange rates, those prices
aren't too bad, considering how big Toronto is. I think prices
in NYC are higher than that, without the exchange rate.

| RE: .2
You're right. Toronto is still more reasonable than New York or
Boston. We were in Vancouver a couple of months ago, and prices
there seem to be much lower. You can still buy a 2-bedroom condo
downtown for $150,000. Now, I just have to get a job there.

| My sister just started the process for a mortgage to build a house
in Ottawa. I believe that the house was 179K$ Cdn plus somethng
for the land. They don't have the tax write off for the interest
and their interest floats. [Sister's mortgage is 10.75% for 6 years].
Yet, this doesn't seem as high as Boston area or San Francisco bay
area.

re .1 -
Shortage of VAX people you say? Hmm, that sounds interesting. I
used to live in London, Ont a few years back. Loved Toronto - not
as great as Stockholm, mind you, but I would be interested in a S/W
job in the area. Any suggestions?

| My suggestion on a downtown one-bedroom apartment would be more
in the $1000 range. Believe my, I've been looking. Add to that the
"key money" scam and renting is a pain.
Don't ask too many Deccies about rents in Toronto. They all own
and live in the burbs. (will this get a reaction?).

| You bet it will get a reaction. I live in the burbs and love it.
I'll even admit to having a bungalow, a fence, a dog, two cars and
almost 2 kids.

| I am a homesick consultant from Toronto currently contracting for
Digital in the Houston Texas area. I want to come back this summer. Does
anyone know how VAX contractors are faring in the Toronto area.
Also, is it true that the housing market has cooled down. Will
probably be renting initially. Does anyone know if there are any
decent apartments left for less than $2000 within Metro?

Barbara Hall is the new mayor of Toronto. If memory serves, she
garnered about 43% of the popular vote. Mel Lastman still rules
North York. Frank Faubert is the new mayor of Scarborough, Frances
Nunziata took York, Michael Prue took East York, and Doug Holyday
is Etobicoke's mayor.

Assuming you're probably interested in other key constituencies...
Mike Bradley was re-elected by a large margin as mayor of Sarnia.
