But it's all relative. People who live in the "more affordable" areas of BC do so in part BECAUSE it's more affordable, and they have seen costs rise quickly too - just not to the same degree as others, with regard to housing. But everything still costs noticeably more than it used to, and when you've chosen to live in thr part of the province that AREN'T subject to the immediate response of, e.g. "well, that's the downside of living here in the lower mainland, it's crazy expensive", you're more likely to be influenced by those types of increases.
