Reminds me of our neighbours. They lived in a $350K condo, and walked into an open house of a $980K home. They loved it and wrote an offer on the spot. They offered $950 because they couldn't afford the extra $30K. Yikes.
There are plenty of affordable multi-family options and homes in the suburbs in line with most people's budget.
A place like Maple Ridge or Surrey may not be utopia for most people, but we need to get over this ideal that everyone deserves to live in the City of Vancouver.

While I personally have nothing against the areas of Maple Ridge or Surrey. I just don't ever see myself living in those areas. If I ever were to move from Vancouver. It would most likely be to a place like Burnaby or New West or somewhere in the Tri-Cities. The Fraser river and the bridges gives a sense of a psychological barrier to me.
