Vancouver has been ruined for locals, all through government inaction and money laundering. i would not recommend my kids even think about settling in Vancouver. They would never be able to affordably live in Vancouver. Why be perpetually poor, all due to affordable housing? Vote the provincial government out.

That being said, Toronto is a bit farther behind. There is some hope here. In the suburbs you have a chance at affordable rents. Young people need a chance for themselves, not a kick in the pants.
