It was jarring.
I've noticed a radical change in my neighbourhood here in Saskatoon just in the past 18 months. It's a 1940s "street car" suburb similar to the West End in Halifax. Cute 3 Bed 1 Bath bungalows with families and retirees. Out of no where people who sold their houses must have sold to some kind of slumlord corporation because now these small houses are occupied by 9-10 adults. There are beatup cars strewn all up the street and alleys. It's like a domino effect where the first 2-3 people sold and now everyone wants out before their property values start dropping.

I myself am just considering just leaving all together and coming back to Nova Scotia this summer. I'm kind of sick of it.
