It's all about circumstances. If you can't afford to rent in Van, you have to go east, regardless of your profession.
If you have a family of 5 and can't afford to buy a home, it was probably the choices you made in having that family that put you in that situation.
I have zero time for these people who go on the news "I have 3 children and we both work and I can't afford to live in Vancouver"
Yea..you can't, period.
