But I'm sick of people just complaining left and right like they deserve things in life. You're educated, have a degree, working so and so hours a week and can't afford to buy a place. Here's an idea, get outta this city, NOW or stay and do what you gotta do, live within your means.
So you make $40k a year and want a house with a detached garage with a lift in it to mod your e30 m3, work only 40 hours a week, not a minute more, have a family and send your kid to the best and most expensive private school, living in the best community with no crime, ocean and mountain view, etc etc ok got it.

You are citing an extreme case to prove a point, which is pointless. Most people would be happy with the medium, we know Point Grey and West Van are the Ferarri and its ok. But when you think fucking Burnaby is worthy as Malibu Beach or a crack shack in Compton... sorry, I meant Whalley... then you are delusional.
1st step to solve the problem is to acknowledge there's a problem. That is how human move forwards. If we all just shut the fuck up and keep our head down there would still be slavery and all other kind of montrosity from hundreds of years ago.
Housing here is overinflated and dont be so quick to think you are safe because you beated the market and bought early. If price double or triple what it is now (a possibility since price has no ceilling) lets see you work that weekend job to pay a few thousands large tax and mortgage a year.
Greed is only good in movies.
