Gentrification of formerly blue-collar neighbourhoods in East Vancouver is evidence of who's buying where. It's been going on for almost a decade.
Brown people I went to school with in East Van now live in the Valley. White people who would have never touched neighbourhoods east of Main now think Fraser and Main are the places to be. Cedar Cottage, Hastings Sunrise, Trout Lake are all neighbourhoods that the children of affluent locals are living and buying into.
CBCs, like me who grew up in East Van or Burnaby, are moving east into areas like Brentwood, Burquitlam, Coquitlam Centre, or Burke Mountain.
