Yeah - who in this region needs a diversified economy and essential skills. Established folks with policy-driven gains in real estate net worth can just use their real estate to meet their essential needs like health care. They probably won't be faced with a financial death by a thousand cuts as the region desperately tries to replace its tax base and retain young talent.

I'm getting mine, therefore I don't care if we can't attract people like doctors because they're facing 2 hour daily commutes to buy a $1M house in Poco.

The irony that young people are the ones branded as entitled is thick when you realize that real estate is the most interfered-with market in Canada and very little about these high valuations has been "earned". This market is entirely artificial - and as some in the article note, it's not sustainable.
