Nice ! You ' re not making this any easier . I thought jumping from 1080 p 60 hz to 1440 p 144 hz gaming would scratch my itch . Looking at this brought it all back . Shit ! <| sep |> I suppose some people may . I prefer to look to my peers as a measuring stick for myself since my peers and I are all playing the same game with today ' s rules . Did I miss something ? Was this entire discussion not about comparing this generation to the last ? I do judge my own fortune to that of my generational peers . but that ' s an entirely different discussion . What a total dodgesimple % of ownership unfairly dismisses alot of the frustration that new buyers faceSuch as not living in a place as large as they want ? The grass is always greener I suppose . I ' m sure every generation has always wanted more than they have . It ' s human nature . While that ' s true , we are not talking about that . In your analogy , the greener grass is the past relative affordability of housing . We were having a data drive discussion that you are now conflating with human nature and envy . Not cool . Nobody wants to raise kids in a 1 . 5 bedroom condo . The people raising kids in condos probably wouldn ' t agree . Life is about sacrifices . If people didn ' t want to raise their children in a condo , they could move to a house in the suburbs . First off , I bet a healthy portion would agree . The alternative is a 3 round trip commute . As for the rest of your life is about sacrifices bs , please see the previous statementIn your comment history you have used the duck of I never said I meant detached homes ! Because I didn ' t . Every time I specifically state condos . kinda weird that you would throw that in my face now because you ' re having a hard time finding any data to refute what I ' m saying . On this , fair point , it ' s more because when I hear home the single detached is implied , but that is my bias . As for the lack of data , did you not see the 8 page BMO report I linked to , and 3 news articles ? Yes , society is changing , your implying we have to accept it without complaint based on 1 arbitrary metric . You have every right to complain that you can ' t afford to buy a detached house in Vancouver . I don ' t believe this is what most people are complaining about . I think that ' s exactly what people are complaining aboutI think
