• Problems with finding affordable housing in Canada.: Housing cost is mentioned briefly. It is not the main focus of the talk.

Correct Answer: Near the Halifax waterfront.

• Close to his workplace's head office.: The speaker never says it is near his workplace. Only the waterfront is mentioned.
• In a suburb outside Halifax.: There is no mention of a suburb. The location is close to the waterfront.

Correct Answer: He enjoys the people even though the office is smaller.
