To you and to PolarPeaks.
I have never paid more than $400/month rent in the 11 years since I've moved out of my parents house. Average is probably around $350. Cheapest rent I've paid was $165/month in Whislter, but I was 18 and it wasn't exactly luxurious living.
$2000/month rent? Do you live downtown Vancouver or something? You're getting ripped off.
Whistler, Revelstoke, Fernie, Rossland. Lived in multiple places in all 4 towns, and as I said, never paid more than $400 (and my place for $400 was super pimp), always with my own room, never with more than 2 room mates, usually with a spare room in the house for guests.
I know this really has nothing to do with the thread, but I thought it was interesting that you guys thought $300/month rent was not a reality.
