Without affordable housing, Vancouver risks becoming an economic ghost town
I&#x27;m curious how this problem is unique to Vancouver. Berlin&#x27;s real-estate values have risen some 40% in just the last 7 years or so. New York City, in the 10 years I lived there, had an enormous escalation in what you get for the same rent payment, even adjusted for inflation. Big cities deal with this all over, so how do they deal with this &quot;problem,&quot; or is Vancouver somehow unique in other ways?
