I conclude that you haven't looked at prices in Vancouver proper lately.

I recall reading stats of 50% year on year recently. So GP, check your house price and pat yourself on the back. Rest of us aren't so lucky.

Sorry, that's wrong. I've checked my home price, and I know what every unit in this building sold for this year. And I have, to some degree, been keeping an eye on alternatives in the Vancouver market.

Insufficiently lucky? No, those who "cannot afford real estate" are (in most cases, as disclaimed above) insufficiently disciplined and/or insufficiently realistic.

You're talking about condos, others are talking houses.
