They can and do cash out, help the next generation and the one beyond that in doing so. Because when they die and the inheritance gets passed on, that's what ends up happening anyways except cashing out now there's a certainty in gains, and they don't have to worry about price correction to what the fundamentals say they should be.

I have "a lot" of friends I went to a West side high school with who are now happily living in east Van, bby, Langley, Richmond, etc etc. And they grew up living "the life" of a westsider, but seem to be doing just fine in their new neighbourhoods, better than just sticking it out I would say. The alternative is staying in your parents' basement to live "your west side life", that's sticking it out IMO.

i'd think my last 10 years of my life should be those in the most comfort as, i've worked all my life, why should i sacrifice my last ten? but ppl probably do not see life the same as me, and that's cool too.
