Is there something wrong with the housing market??

What's up with the housing market in BC Canada? Why is it that a single parent can't find an affordable 2 bedroom apartment? I work full time, I take home about $1600.00 per month but apartments in the city I live in start at $1100.00 per month. How the hell am I supposed to feed my son and myself on $500.00? Not to mention utilities, clothes, insurance, and all the other necessities. This is bullcrap. All these property developers and income-property owners are forcing people into the streets with their exhorbitant rental rates!!!! Who the hell pays $1100.00 a month for rent when a mortgage costs less??

1. It's the capitalist system
2. Sounds like you need a rent control law. Good luck with the politicos who are stuffing their pockets with " contributions " from the lobbyists.
3. Housing prices everywhere are experiencing a blunt force trauma these days. Say is there somewhere I can search for an old school friend? Her name is Sandy Barnes - Silverman. I haven't seen or spoken to her in 40+ years. She lived in Hialeah Florida, then moved to BC with her husband.
