HOUSING

The latest report from the Royal Bank of Canada paints a bleak picture of homeownership in Vancouver. It's disheartening to see that owning a home in the city has become so unattainable, with costs reaching unprecedented levels of inaccessibility. The sheer magnitude of the financial hurdle, with 106.4 percent of median income needed to cover ownership costs, makes homeownership seem like a distant dream for most. The report's declaration of a "full-blown crisis" resonates with many who feel the weight of this reality. The situation fuels frustration and helplessness, as the market's state perpetuates stagnant activity and high prices. Even modest homes come with exorbitant price tags, exemplified by a one-bedroom apartment in Yaletown listed for nearly $600,000. It's a harsh reality leaving many feeling unsupported and without viable solutions.
