How does 500K USD seen affordable? Also, try raising two kids in that condo.

I have numerous friends with several children and who live in a condo. Hell, the Mayor of New Westminster moved _out_ of his house and into a condo; he has three daughters. As usual, there's a Vancouver blog for this[0].

At that price it'll be a 2 bedroom condo.

3 bedroom condos in the core are rare, and generally start around $800k CAD
