Canadians can afford houses?!

My economic world has crumbled: Canadians can now afford property in San Francisco, but I can't. Yes, news from the 415, the weak dollar and flat real estate market has made that area code a happy hunting ground for foreign investors. "Planeloads of Russians" are now shopping, uh, Russian Hill for deals.

The ruble is strong! The RUBLE!

I hope that $1200 check from the government comes soon. I'm sure that will help us rebound, kick-start the market, and increase available, affordable housing. Phew!
