While you are struggling to make rent, boomers are installing elevators in their homes.

From CTV News (Bell Media):

“It might seem pretty rare to find a house with an elevator, but chances are higher you might find one in Calgary these days.”

    These elevators are for accessibility purposes. According to the video, a basic model starts at $35,000 and maintenance runs a few hundred a year.

    So an elevator is cheaper than an in-ground pool and on par with major maintenance.
