I have been thinking (not serious thought yet but I do need to move some time in the next year) of alternative living solutions in the city - tiny homes, an RV or a renovated bus/truck, living in a storage locker. Tiny home seems by the far best option but I'm not sure on how that would work within the city.

I really, really do not want to leave Toronto. I've spent time in most big North American cities and man... there's just nothing that really compares to here. But renting here is not going to be an option for me long term and owning is off the table completely. Probably will end up moving to MTL.
