I'm no expert on Canada as a whole, but I have a property in Vancouver, and one thing alot of folks seem to discount is the land scarcity there.Unlike many US cities (say, Austin for example) where it's possible to keep building outwards (albeit at the cost of a longer commute), there's significant constraints on land availability overall in Vancouver (bounded by Mountains and Ocean).Influencing factors that I've seen in that city:1.
