Low income @ $850? Not likely.

I like how they say $850 is low income....$1000 is too much.
Ummm, I'd pay $150 more for another 3-400 sq.ft. and a bedroom that doesn't come out of the wall.

$850 a month for someone who makes $10-$12/hour is ridiculous! If they want to provide low income housing it needs to be in the $500/month range. The problem is that these "low-income" rentals that are supposedly built to provide a service for the community are run by for-profit companies! Lets see some units that just take in enough money to be self-sustaining, that will truly be a service to the people who need them.

Fully furnished units are typically more expensive, so factor that in before complaining. You can find 1-bdrm units in the west end for ~$1000/mn yet they are unfurnished.
Still think they are overpriced and cannot believe they rented so easily/quickly.

If they're not working at the coffee shop, they're hanging out at the coffee shop. There's no need for a lot of space. That's not cool, you know.

That looks pretty awesome for the size but the price is pretty high. My girlfriend had a place in HK which was like 130 sq ft and she was paying almost 700 CAD a month but that's the ridiculousness of HK.

"Each suite comes with basic furnishings, a built-in wall bed, fold-down table and flatscreen TV. Internet and cable-television service are included in the rent, which averages $850 a month."

Hell, most of the retail stores in Vancouver don't pay their employees much more than that. What's the point of people working in Vancouver if they have to spend a good chunk of their earnings on transiting into Vancouver from elsewhere? Quote:

You can buy a decent mattress set at The Brick or somewhere for cheap when they're on sale (which is always), and pick up a second hand desk/couch/dining table/everything else on CL, garage sale, hand-me-downs, etc. You're basically paying a a $2-300 premium for furniture that you theoretically would have paid off before your first year of tenancy is over.
I dunno. Not a fan of it. I like the concept, but I feel it's overpriced for what it is. I've been in dormrooms that were bigger than these places...
