As someone currently hunting rentals in Calgary: single minimum wage earners, even a bit above minimum wage, are quickly losing their future here. If I made less than I do (about 3100) I would find it very difficult to find a place unless I'm rooming with more people than there are bedrooms.

People working remotely on median-level incomes trying to escape the GTA or Metro Vancouver will find it great though.

Sorry buddy meant to get back to you. Yes I can't argue there is already pressure on lower income earners to survive here. I hope it's not that case anyone here is priced out, nor having to lower their own living conditions. We need real housing too, not just SFH out in the burbs or luxury condos.
