do not, there is no try, etc." I'm not a professor, but how about "Housing in Vancouver has become increasingly unaffordable"? Does that make sense? "Increasingly" suggests a progression, no? For the record, I do believe Vancouver's already a city of haves and have-nots, but I think that situation is going to get even more extreme. @Vreaa host, you wrote: "Vesta; 'derp -- If you take a look at your posts, you guys are actually on pretty much the same side of every issue." No, we're not actually, and there are things derp has said that I would not say myself or subscribe to, just as i would think there are things i've said he wouldn't say or subscribe to. I think he and I do agree on Vancouver being a city of haves and have-nots, though based on my own experience here I don't think the divide used to be as profound as it is now -- i.e. that it has "increasingly" become worse. Furthermore, with the economic catastrophe that looks "increasingly" likely, I believe the divide will become "increasingly" wider, as more and more it will involve what was once considered the economic middle class here. Vesta -&gt; Okay, agreed, my statement was too much of a generalization. What I (generally) meant was that you guys are very much on the same side regarding Vancouver's preposterously overpriced RE, and have shared concerns about the deleterious effects of same on the society. Derp is, most times, the court jester
