✈️ Rent Too Expensive… So a Student Started Flying Every Day! 😳
A student from the University of British Columbia, Tim Chen, made a shocking decision that left many people surprised.
Instead of moving closer to campus, he chose to fly from Calgary to Vancouver for his classes because it was actually cheaper than renting a place in Vancouver.
💸 Monthly flight cost: around $1,200
🏠 Vancouver rent: $2,100+
The math was simple —

This story is more than just one student’s unusual decision; it reflects the reality of rising living costs and the housing crisis.
At a time when people usually choose nearby housing to save time, Tim chose to save money — even if it meant frequent flights.
It raises an important question:
When living becomes unaffordable, does commuting become the easier choice? 🤔✈️
