Well, I understand your numbers and the risk.  But the world doesn't work according to charts.
  
Canada may just turn into a country like India. Where there is no middle class.  Only super rich and majority of the people are living in extreme poverty.

Where do college grade working in Vancouver?  Except students with professional degrees, lots of them work as customer service at Rogers or be a bank teller.  And still live with mom at 30. And still paying student loans if they hasn't defrauded them.

Please don't tell me you can eat instant noodles for the whole month.  Like the old commercial says "Eat instant noodles 5X a day"  it still costs $116.25/no.  I seriously don't know how fibbi's $200/mo grocery budget works.  But I am not going to argue that.

Stupid policy/ stupid interest rates could last longer than you. Our policy punishes savers with low interest rate, to reward people contribute to the pockets RE speculators.  If you haven't figured that out year after year, you need to get your head a shake. Got it?

If you want to have reasonable affordable housing in Vancouver, it is very simple:
Start "Really" taxing capital gains on housing for "flying house"(no those BS on Primary Residency" and taxing rental income.)  But that is more difficult than raising payroll taxes, so you ain't go to see until some social unrest are happening on the streets.

    Ask you mom how much it costs to "boil soup" for you when you come home for dinner during weekend.

I am cheap.  Simple a decent "Red carrot boils Green carrot" will run almost $20.  I grew up in the 70's, mom will give some change for breakfast.   Ham and egg bun and vita soy milk will run you almost 3 dollars at 7-11, and it will break your $200 budget.  You can say just don't eat out, but one can afford these "luxury items" in the 70's with mom and dad working in a factory.  And you can't do it with your expensive UBC degree?  

Anyone care to argue otherwise.
