"Why is everybody at OP's throat?"
I don't think everyone is at the OP's throat,but I do understand the quick responses to maybe "defend" this topic. First of all, the word used multiple times by the OP is "cheap" opposed to how "inexpensive" or how "affordable it is for me". Then statements like, "I know the American economy is to blame for such cheap real estate..and now I am looking to buy a house there (winter home) because of the ridiculous low pricing." , "( you Americans really have to get with the times and go metric by the way, lol)" and "After a couple months across the border I've had my fill anyway."can ruffle feathers of proud Americans such as I. I know the OP is entitled to his/her opinion, but I am too and it comes across arrogant and rude.
If I were to say how ridiculously cheap some part of Canada was and how you Canadians need to get with United States customary units, I'm sure I'd get a response or two (or three....)
I was floored to see that I could buy about the same size house in southwest Florida (Punta Gorda/Fort Myers) ...
Darn tootin' you would, eh? I'd hop on my snowmobile tout suite and give you a piece of my mind. If I was really fired up, I'd even throw maple syrup at your door! Take that!If I were to say how ridiculously cheap some part of Canada was and how you Canadians need to get with United States customary units, I'm sure I'd get a response or two (or three....)

Nothing gets my goat like the refusal of the metric system.
Naturally, I'd leave a nice handwritten note apologizing for the mess.
