I would assume just Vancouver as it's a separate municipality

By your username and offense to his comment, is it safe to assume you're from Langley?

If its the same recent study I know of, Vancouver was actually the 2nd least affordable city in the world next to Hong Kong. After Vancouver was Sydney and some other Aussie cities.
That list was in terms of housing affordability, so maybe the one you saw was looking at other types of costs.

This list is actually like a mirror image of that list, so they obviously are not considering affordability at all.
