I don't know what your place is worth but $5,000+ seems really high.

Other than some short stints here and there, I've been living at the same place for the past 25+ years. It's just a common bungalow in East Van.
Compared to the 2015 assessment, the 2016 assessed value suddenly jumped a whopping 27%. Compared to the 2014 assessment, the 2015 assessment only increased by 8%.
At this rate, I wouldn't be able to fxxking afford to live in the same house that I grew up in. It is obvious that those in charge at the provincial government does not value the long time residents in Metro Vancouver, and is doing everything they can to push us out and make us leave.
