This is absolutely the case in Metro Vancouver; finding a 3+ bedroom, 2+ bathroom condominium is an almost insurmountable challenge. The issue, almost entirely, is decades of municipal councils who could not imagine families wanting to live in towers, and so zoning for and approving almost exclusively singles and partnered housing in condos. Recently, some of the councils have seen the err of their ways and begun approving a small amount of family housing; but it's woefully inadequate. The mayor of New West himself resorted to buying two adjacent suites and joining them when he couldn't find family housing!
