I get the sentiment of Peter's first post.
The cost of living in Vancouver is absurd and I think he was just illustrating that even after having a healthy income he's frustrated by the lack of opportunity to have a fulfilling life as the usual things like owning a home, having a family etc continually get delayed because it's so insanely expensive to get settled here. Unless your parents own a house in Vancouver and sell their place and give you a portion of that money it's pretty unlikely you will ever own a townhouse, let alone a detached home, in your life in Vancouver. If you're a couple that are both working professionals with a household income around 200k you're likely relegated to a 550 -700 sq foot single bed room apartment. It is frustrating.
