my sister (much older than me) lived in Oakville when she first got married 55 years ago. She lived on Lambeth Road in a new house, which was very modest. I'm sure they paid less than 50K (if even anywhere near that) back then. She lived there only for a couple of years, but I know how affluent Oakville is now (although it was always known as an "old money" suburb, I think). Shocking prices for what look like regular middle class homes, but that's also all over the Toronto area. I know how Toronto just seems to never stop growing and they can't build these new developments fast enough, but it's sad to see the same look to all of this housing. As xzmattzx stated, "terribly monotonous."
