moving is tough

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.02.15

It seems that the rental market in Toronto's gotten a lot tougher of late.

It may have been a gradual process over the past five or six years, but it's at the point now where we're only one party of several seeing any given property. And the prices!! I am not joking that anywhere with a reasonable commute in the city center is at around 3/4 of the price of something similar in Tokyo.

I'll say that again: the rental market in Toronto is closing with that of Tokyo. I am dumbfounded.

I think the search for a new apartment might have to go on an extended break.

Capitalist production, therefore, only develops the techniques and the degree of combination of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the worker.
