Don ' t forget to treat yoself , too . <| sep |> The Bryan Vinny Show with Granny . Picture an 80 year old granny commenting and rating wrestling matches . PRICELESS . <| sep |> This tbh HmmStiny <| sep |> USA has lower taxes and this is the concession there . Ok that ' s 1 country . What are all of the other countries that pay less tax than us ? People in Toronto pay a little less property tax than in the GTA . But we pay double the land transfer tax . We ' re talking $ 24 , 000 in tax on a $ 800 , 000 home . Our houses also cost significantly more than the rest of the GTA . There are also more of us so the revenue generated is higher . I live and work downtown . I do not take my car to work . Nobody I know who lives downtown does . Most of the people that drive to work are the people that live in the GTA . They are contributing to wear and tear on the roads that we Torontonians pay for . Another thing to consider is that , land values in Toronto have skyrocketed much higher than wages or inflation . If the government were to raise the property taxes , people may default on their mortgage . I know you will probably say they shouldn ' t be living beyond their means , but that ' s irrelevant . If the Toronto housing market crashed it won ' t be good for anyone .
