This was posted a few days ago too. I've lived here pretty much all my life and I just don't see the appeal or hype of Vancouver anymore. Let alone the costs of being here. Getting a detached is pretty much impossible. Yet very much achievable on the island or Calgary or even parts of Toronto.
I'm in Toronto now and it's maybe just barely better than Vancouver on affordability. I will say though that the average office worker will have significantly better opportunities in Toronto. Pretty much everyone I know here seems to be like $300K+ household income families whereas in Vancouver, I don't really know anyone that I went to university with that are over $100K. I also don't know a single person in Toronto that rents out their basement as a mortgage helper either.
