Glad to know you have such a in depth knowledge of my financial situation. First off, I am no where near rich yet. Second, I can guarantee you I had a poorer childhood compared to you and greater student loans. Sorry an immigrant family like mine all made something of ourselves though, please accept my apology. And coming from anything but a upper class background, it pains me that SO many people like you feel that rich people shouldn't have a say in issues because their rich. Because majority of rich people are just gifted a money tree by God right? Keep your jealousy in check, it's not a good color on anyone.

I bet you didn't.

You two seem like you are both comparing who has the shorter cock, but in the end, both have tiny wieners.

Vancouver is nowhere near what it was 30 years ago.
As cities grow, advance; they get more expensive. Why? People will flock to good things, and thus drive the price up. It's simple supply and demand.
If you can't afford to live in Vancouver, it's not the government and economy failing you, it's you not realizing or willing to accept that to obtain the level of success you want, that you need to move. If you don't want to move, you need to reevaluate your expectations.
Being BORN somewhere, does not mean you have the right to live and succeed in that city.
Life isn't a gym where you can pay a bit extra at the beginning when you join, in order to lock in the same monthly payments for life.

I don't even particularly disagree with what you wrote here. But how does this counter the argument that things were financially easier for those in the 80's vs those now?

Are you saying the apples to apples comparison means comparing Vancouver in the 80s to somewhere else in the 2010s?

What is the equivalent of Vancouver 80s in your opinion?
