The "I need to actually start adulting and save up for a detached house with a garage" switch has finally been flipped on in my head.

I think it was a combination of, finally running out of patience with stratas and all their associated garbage, and constantly moving from one brand new condo to the next (renting, same landlord), hoping for better quality and only to be continuously let down and severely disappointed. I've lost all hope in Vancouver's condo market, all the trades I've spoken to say they're not built for humans to live in, they're only built to code, whatever that code is. Friend of mine who's dad is a lifelong build inspector said the same, and that the majority of these new builds shouldn't have even passed inspection and are not really even up to code.

Time to suck it up to Vancouver's unreal housing prices.

Also, moving during a pandemic? 0/10 would not not recommend. Worst experience ever, further made worse by all furniture stores having insane ETAs for in-stock dates. It's been 2 months and I'm still waiting on my dining table. Sold most of the furniture prior to moving out from the last place cause we upsized and needed stuff that fit better.
