The only towns that are more affordable are miserable frozen shit holes with very few jobs.

Sure rental rates in Vancouver are quite high (
average of almost $2300 for 2 beds) but rental rates in the suburbs are definitely still affordable.
Surrey:
$1027
Burnaby:
$1940
Delta:
$1163
Port Moody:
$974 (this one is for 1 beds)
Langley:
$934
Coquitlam:
$1215
And even if rents eveywhere in Metro Vancouver were absurdly high, that's still no excuse to go into debt you can't afford and then ask people for sympathy.
