That may be, but it certainly comes across as trying to label anyone who was concerned about the issue.

I'm curious, you've said you're CBC and work in education - so wouldn't the rapid escalation of house prices would be as much of a concern to you as anyone else working a "regular" job in Metro? My folks immigrated to Canada in the early Sixties with a few hundred bucks and the promise of a job for my dad. At that time the price of a typical house was something like 2.5x his income. Now it is something like 10x. Without wealthy parents, how can anyone now coming out of university expect to be able to buy a house here? Shouldn't that be an issue of concern?

Edited to add: for some reason the link to the Sun article in your post 100 doesn't show up? Could you re-post?
