I receive updates from Numbeo.com. Here’s the latest about my hometown of Vancouver:
Here’s how prices in Vancouver, BC have changed over the roughly past 5 years:
Rent (1BR city centre) : C$2,087 → C$2,644 (+27%)
Meal (inexpensive restaurant) : C$21.04 → C$30.00 (+43%)
Cappuccino: C$4.95 → C$5.77 (+17%)
Eggs (12) : C$4.71 → C$5.64 (+20%)
White rice (1kg) : C$4.28 → C$6.17 (+44%)
This is terrible news. How can the TFW’s afford stuff? This will drive away the diversity and lead to catastrophic economic collapse.
