The "over $2,500" part is also probably confusing some. He's not targeting a $2.5K rental in Vancouver calibre living arrangement. He's enjoying a $3K+ living arrangement by going through a crazy commute and going home to his parents in Calgary. I wouldn't be surprised if he bums an overnight here and there at a friend's place in Vancouver though.
I think it's a kinda crazy arrangement, but if it works, I guess it works.
I also assume that he'd easily hit tiers where he'd get easy access to the airport lounges etc. and that's not including other loyalty perks he might hit. Like if somehow he could end up pretty damn close in hitting some type of lifetime platinum membership with an airline like AC/WJ, it could pay off more than just the so called rental savings long term.
