Vancouver is also a city where not everyone is invited to the party. If you have parents that can gift you a massive down payment or got in at a good time, you are laughing. For everyone else it's a hamster wheel of constantly trying to keep up with living expenses with no gain to show for it.
The economy is strangled with Nimbyism and socialist thought, but nobody ever seems to benefit from this but the people who already have lots.
Vancouver has some big problems.
