going for over $2million that would probably be $400k in the prairies. And maybe $200k say somewhere like Pennsylvania.

There are few to no actual apartment rentals through most of the lower mainland. It's all single owner condos where your landlord can and probably will sell out from under you. And no one...neither the NDP nor the Liberals seem to care (I'm excluding the Conservatives because we already know they don't care).
