I think this is almost a generational issue. We've been in a real estate boom phase for at least the past 10-15 years with a big jump the past few years. I'm of the generation that got in at the beginning of the boom and almost every one of our friends has kids and a single family home within Metro Vancouver. We all started small in condos or small townhomes and worked our way up with the market.
The generation starting out today has a much tougher time of it I agree, but I think a small condo is still within reach of most.
