I think a lot of Canadians have no idea just how cheap certain things are in the US. A lot of our food is imported from there and we pay the exchange. My grocery bill was tiny in Oregon relative to Quebec.
Edit: Another one is shoes. Canada has an import tax that results in some shoes being literally 3x the price after everything is said and done.
Exactly, any "out of season" food is never out of season here in California. Avacados are so cheap here for example. Meat is also way cheaper too, even for organic products, not the bottom of the barrel. $2 street tacos are my lifeblood now.
For me, cell phone service was mind blowing. I am paying $25 a month all in, for 15 gigs and unlimited talk/text.
Taking a toll lane here is actually cheap too, $4-5 max per usage. I went on the 407 once by accident and was billed $20 for one exit lol
That's not true in California at all. LA has like 2 highways that have toll lanes, not even entire highways.
I don't change my personal habits at all, businesses can curtail their water usage if the droughts are truly bad. It literally does not affect my life at all.
No I'm not, my healthcare plan is $750 a year out of pocket max. If you have a well paying job here, such as software developer, you're going to have a healthcare plan that covers most things.
In Canada it took me 9 months to get a specialist appointment and 18 month wait for a surgery. I literally found a doctor, specialist, and had a surgery within 5 months in the states.
I never said the US is better for the average person, but it's an absolute cope to think it's not better for people in higher paying professional careers.
So shoes are the reason to move? lol.
