    Yeah, I dunno..you might not see any appreciation in your investment in your lifetime down there.. Read a good article recently about stupid Canadians pushing up house prices in Arizona..$400k..real estate analysts down there expect the true value is about $200k..it's a risky deal down there right now.

    Re: After a bargain?

    I was in Buffalo last weekend and I would say it is a close second to Detroit. My crazy GPS took me to some neighbourhoods that were completely abandoned, boarded up, burnt down. Several big beautiful churches boarded up and vandalized. Quite sad actually. If it weren't for all the Canadians who go shopping over there it would be just as bad as Detroit. The real estate is also dirt cheap there. While driving around I was thinking how lucky I am to be Canadian even though we are taxed to death.
    Ride it like you stole it.

    The U.S.A. has always had the image of being a prosperous place and land of opportunity but that is so far from the truth. If it wasn't for states like Cali and Florida that generate most of the economy down there, America would be totally scre**ed. I lived in the U.S. for 17 years and glad that I GTFO.

    I lived in Windsor for a while and use to go over frequently. Wish I could say "it's not that bad" but it really is THAT BAD, REALLY BAD. Mind you the surrounding burbs are actually really nice (not Flint) but the City of Detroit will leave you saying WTF happened here.

    .

    Cali? Columbia? Did you mean California? If so California is on the wane. Silicon Valley is doing okay, but most of the rest of the state is hurting quite bad. Unemployment levels are quite high, the jobs to be had are McJobs. The economy today is driven a lot by oil and gas (South Dakota, Texas etc.).
