Hello, Andrew from Toronto?

It is bizarre that you make that observation ("averaging obscures details on the ground") on the one hand...

... and yet on the other hand you somehow vote "disagree" to my post that made the EXACT same complaint, using Vancouver as its focus.

Look, Andrew, YES, averaging obscures details on the ground, exactly, and that includes...

... that includes pretending that there is somehow some kind of meaningful "average" in Vancouver (roll eyes) between a dozen 33-year-olds working there at local jobs on local incomes, and a different dozen 23-year-old students there whose businessman fathers have provided two million dollars to each of them from their business jobs in Hong Kong and Shanghai and Beijing and Chongqing where they have remained working ever since buying their Canadian investor immigrant papers over the years.  

It is bizarre that you applaud that kind of RIDICULOUS averaging!
