and YES i am DEFINITELY with you on that one! in order for me to be able to afford to buy a house, i would literally have to move out of my hometown. the shadiest of places are going for $800,000! 2 bedroom apartments? see for yourself: Squamish Pointe.
and let me tell you, that is a horrible, horrible location. it's right across from one of the scuzziest bars in town. a lotta mischief happens in that area.
