Except for the names and a few minor changes, if you talk about America, that story is the same one.
Perhaps.
And the article, iirc, doesn't touch on the mega-money immigrants that are distorting our real estate market in every major city - especially Vancouver and Toronto. Our government hasn't just sold us out on the low end of cheap labour, but also on the high end of the investment class.
At least if they're going to screw us they're doing it from both ends with vigor!

Yeah, One of my Friends is One of 'Those
Highly Skilled Well Paid Indian Immigrants
Of Canada' too; Yet Ya See,
She Was Willing to Do What
It Takes; Not Likely Many Folks
Who Come From 'First World Countries'
Will Be Motivated Enough to Do What it FULLY Takes...
Like All the Roofs That Would Never Get Put on in Florida
After A Hurricane, if Not For Mexican Roofer Immigrants at
The Other End of the Pay Scale; Yet Never the Less, The Same
Level of Determination to Do whatever it takes to Eventually Enjoy Freedom...
Some of these Folks Give Up Literally Decades of Their Life to Make it Happen...
Do i have What it takes...
Hell no; No Dam
Ambition to
Make Money At
All; Folks Practically
Had to Hold a Gun to
My Head to Become
Financially Independent,
'Forcing' Promotions on me Using The
Skills i Had As What they Described
As A Valuable Human Commodity;
Never the Less, Financially Independent
By 47; My FRiEnD All 5 Feet 3 at 29; Probably Sooner than Soon..
As She Doesn't Live Her Life in A Mad Rush to Buy to Become Someone either...
When Someone Works For the Sake of Freedom Over Money And Buying 'STUFF';
The Stakes Are Totally
Different...
And Naturally
The Effective
Results As Well...
Not that i Didn't Work
Hard; Just Wanted to Enjoy
School And Work And Do what
i Wanted to Do; And Yes, i Did Except
For the Last 11 Years of Work; Yet About 33 Years of Overall Play Before
Then... And Now 8 Years of Just Total Freedom to Be And Do Whatever the
Heaven and Hell
i Wanna Do Free...
And
i
DO.
Was it Easy
for 17 Years oF It;
No, it was 11 Years
of Purgatory and
66 Months of Hell
And A Few Years
In Between of
Before too;
Yet Hey, Cicada's
Go Into Hibernation Below too...
Meh, Eventually Caterpillars Sprout Wings too...
We aRe Sort of Related Ya know, At Least Metaphorically For SHow...
