    Last time I could rent affordably was 10 years. $600 everything included in a spacious and recently renovated basement suite here in BC.

    Off of min wage at the time I was able to cover groceries for two, enjoy myself AND save enough for a trip at no stress.

    Now I eat primarily grains because it’s the best caloric value against inflation :')

    What a weirdly incoherent title, CBC. Damn. I can forgive the clickbait, but what’s up with that lede?
