description: The city of Vancouver grapples with a housing crisis that extends beyond mere shortages to manifest as a profound housing alienation. This alienation is characterized by a striking absence of social cohesion and communal belonging within residential spaces. The core of this issue lies in the prevailing perception of Vancouver's real estate not as homes but as assets or investment commodities. This research delves into the socio-cultural ramifications of this perceptual shift, investigating its profound implications on community dynamics, individual well-being, and the broader urban fabric. By scrutinizing the root causes and far-reaching consequences of this phenomenon, the study seeks to offer insights into potential strategies for revitalizing a sense of collective belonging and social identity within Vancouver's housing environment. The findings aim to contribute valuable perspectives to urban planners, policymakers, and community stakeholders, fostering a more holistic approach to address the complex interplay between housing, community, and individual fulfillment in the wake of a housing crisis.
