This.
No one should be arguing owning land is superior.
The problem originalhypa, is that no one in Vancouver is willing to sacrifice.
I'm not sure where you grew up originalhypa, but if you grew up in Langley or in that general area, you have friends and family in that general area.
I grew up in Vancouver. All of my friends and family are in Vancouver. It would be socially difficult for me to move to Langley or Abby.
I don't need to be close to downtown as I don't go down there often, but to be distant from my family and friends... I will have a tough time doing that.
If I was brave and had courage, I would move to Alberta and start my life there, as I know my kids would have a better future out there because they would be able to afford a home.
But, I am too selfish and cowardly to move to Alberta. Even though I know for a fact that I could make more money in my field and I could buy a house for a more reasonable price, I will not sacrifice to do that..
It sucks. Being a global city was the absolute worst thing for us. It ruined our entire future.
