YOUR rent has gone up 23% therefore RENTS have gone up 23%. Do you realize that when your argument is laid out it sounds insanely stupid?

Drachen, I post anecdotal evidence, because that's about all I've got. Statistical measures of rents in this city are hard to come by, and the few examples I've seen only show average rents – which includes long-term tenants, and usually doesn't accurately reflect current new-tenant rental prices.

As far as I know, everyone here already understands the limits of anecdotal evidence. It's a data point, not cast-in-stone proof. We post it to inform one another of what we see. Consequently, everyone here posts anecdotal evidence without qualifying it as such – its limitations are already obvious. If I post anecdotal evidence that disagrees with certain theories you have, then find your own anecdotal proof (or even statistical proof) that backs up your own theories and post it. This is basically how conversations work.

I do have sympathy for you, and the syphalis that has racked your brain, causing you to thrash out wildly at imagined threats, and unnecessarily capitalize words in your sentences. Neverthelss, if you snap at me again, I'll rip your dick off and feed it to you.

It seems like Craigslist has a lot of stupid prices but if you stick to the newspaper (or online it's househunting ca) you'll be fine

If you moved today, how much will you have to pay for the equivalent unit?

We just moved last month and our rent went up 50%. Granted, we paid a premium for a larger suite (still) in yaletown with an original owner running through an established property management company.

I've been watching Yaletown prices for years and there is no doubt about it, they've gone up. That said, we're still covering under 30% of the mortgage+taxes+strata if we were to buy today.
