As an equivalent example, why don't you compare DTES or Whalley to Shaughnessy?
Metro Vancouver housing has already become a commodity when those who work here can't afford to live here. Even if we were to go with your definition of what constitute housing as commodity, do you even realize that CoV has a near zero (residential) vacancy rate? It gets easier as you move further out, but even renting is not that easy (or cheap).
This has to be the biggest BS I've heard in a while.
Vancouver housing ranked 3rd most unaffordable by international study - British Columbia - CBC News
The news article is only dated in late January 2017. That means I count 2 other cities that has more expensive housing than Vancouver does. TWO.
Next time you are about to spew your BS, please do a little fact checking first. |
Try Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo, San Fran, , New York, Seoul. Earning middle class income will never ever net your a an apartment let alone a house. Maybe next time you need a reality check and maybe dig a little deeper.
But hey since all you can do search the internet but haven't really travel around guess you are 100% right. That website you link did they tell you how they measure which city is the most expensive. Is it purely rate by Avg home price VS avg income? Did it take into account the avg spending as well?Did the report only compare price of central city or does it take into with rural area housing price as well?
Do you have personal experience with Vancouver or have you actually looking at/study/experience with other city real estate?
