Vancouver is a great city. I didn't live anywhere near the nice parts. I was walking distance to the 7-11 and laundromat. And the apartment was infested with cockroaches.

The bank is the best landlord I ever had.

I think that a lot of $$$$$$ IT workers forget about slumlords (or are slumlords themselves!)

I'm sorry you had a bad experience in Vancouver. But in my experience, bad and even extortionate landlords are not limited to cities--they absolutely do exist in suburban and even rural areas.
