“Being in my late 20’s and happy about how I’m doing professionally relative to my goals (university grad and a well paying secure job), the only depressing part is that owning a place of mine own in Vancouver is fast becoming a dream rather than an option. The alternative is buying east of Burnaby/Coquitlam and then driving daily out to Vancouver … by the time I save up enough for a down payment and mortgage (giving it 5 years realistically). It has nothing to do with a desire to live in upper class neighborhoods, rather somewhere in the city I’ve grown up in rather than be pushed outwards just because of bad luck and timing.”
