Perfectly on point. In Vancouver, I could have bought a nice place, but I wanted and needed freedom. Then when I got offered a huge windfall to move to Europe, I said fuck you to my apartment and job in Vancouver.

Owning a place, I'd either rent for negative cash flow, or be forced to sell at a loss (if bought in last 3-5 years after costs), paid to break the mortgage...

Owning in Vancouver is a bad idea if you have dreams and aspirations (which will likely result in u leaving Vancouver)
