Willow Yamauchi

Willow Yamauchi is a Vancouver-based writer and a long-time resident who reflects on the drastic changes in the housing market over the past 25 years. She and her husband purchased their home in Vancouver for C$275,000, a sum that now seems almost inconceivable as property values have skyrocketed to millions. As a member of Generation X, she recognizes the privilege of her timing in entering the housing market, contrasting it with the struggles faced by younger generations who find themselves priced out of their hometowns.
