US / New York folks - anyone here?
I'm serving notice period in TCS and my last day is in 2 weeks. I requested for pickup of laptop in the portal but I came to know that it will take time for pickup and I won't be available if they come late. So I decided to go to office and surrender the laptop as I'm in the location of office only. Is there a seperate request to be raised for surrender of laptop and how to cancel the existing request for pickup. Please guide.Tata Consultancy

You summed up 90% of the HIGHLY PAID young 28-32 yr old professionals in Canada who are privileged to make that income in Canada before getting grey hair but also being incapable to do anything in the city. Most folks I know have purchased far away from GTA central areas and the firms also slapped a 2-3 day minimum RTO policy so they also commute like crazy.
No idea if and when it ever gets better.
People typically buy houses when they're coupled up and want a family. With your income level, you should easily be able to afford a mortgage in Toronto, let alone rate GTA with a second working partner
You’re still young. Once you hit $300k and assuming your spouse makes the same, you can get a decent house. Hopefully by your mid 30s which is still young.
First: You are of course not a loser!!! You are making a salary that is 3x what some households make and must be extremely bright to earn it. This isn’t about you personally, it’s about the affordability of the city, which is terrible. I imagine you’ve been saving and investing, so keep it up - it’s a long game. I don’t have the answer to the housing insanity but I think perspective helps - I’ve owned both at one point in time. With your salary you can afford a very nice condo or townhouse with amenities and enjoy the city at the same time. Not owning a house means not having to worry about flooding or thaw or raccoons in your attic, mowing the lawn, your furnace or AC dying or a million other responsibilities that come with a house. Living in a condo is freedom!
Yes the GTA can be highly frustrating- your options are pretty much to leave the city or to find a spouse that makes the same amount of money.

This tracks given where you work.
Also, gross.
@OP Look into different areas. You won’t get what your after in high park or the annex, but there are great deals if you’re open minded.
My wife and I just bought a detached home near Rockcliffe-Smythe for under 900. Area is surprisingly beautiful, great schools, is super close to transit, but it’s just not the trendiest (yet). Another few years St Claire is going to be completely different.
If you want a detached house for 900 or less you’re going to have to look at unexpected areas.
