I, for one, would not be surprised if "article after article" are based on groupthink and repeating what others have said and not on data.

I have also heard that people move from other parts of Canada because of B.C.'s generous social services or the warmer weather, but I wouldn't be surprised if a large number of Vancouver natives have been displaced by skyrocketing housing costs
