Honda, it's not just Vancouver, and it's not just Canada.
It's a worldwide issue, most prominent in Western democracies. Expect to see things get worse in the future here. This exactly what many social science majors predicted based on our acceleration into income inequality.
People don't feel a sense of purpose in their lives whether in be in employment (people tend to move jobs more and more nowadays) as your employment is no longer assured or stable like it used to be, people have no sense of ownership in their role, or to their organization.
Younger folks and even in our demo aren't seeing a path to financial freedom, the cost of housing, the monetization of every conceivable asset or service nowadays because... Capitalism. People aren't happy, they're stressed, they don't see a positive future in many ways. This creates an environment is mistrust, lack of community, lack of a feeling of "progress".
Add to that a declining birthrate, people in the West aren't having families anymore, a big reason is the overall cost and lack of stable housing, this also creates a disconnect further fueling that lack of "purpose" in ones life. Loneliness has also become a massive epidemic, there are many people out there that don't feel loved, they don't have a spouse or family, and are entirely disconnected from any sense of community.
I won't even get started on the affects of rampant immigration from a cultural cohesion standpoint.
So many problems, and we are atrophied to fix them.
