I had no desire to lay out 400,000 for 500sf of condo and then sit at Starbucks talking with my clique about how that condo is going to be my retirement one day. Got green hair and leopard skin yoga pants on today?

And then have to do it again after work only this time in bumper-to-bumper traffic.I have lived in Calgary for over 30 years. The Greater Vancouver area had a population of 2,463,431 in 2016, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada. Would I live somewhere else than Vancouver? They don’t want to pay their workers – I know many many people who work commission only type sales and marketing roles that are incredibly stressful to manage. Education in BC is not particularly its strongest suit. It seems to be true professionally as well personally. If you are a woman, he’s looking for rent $.

I realize the cost of living in Vancouver is astronomical.

One thing I know though is that it’s so not as prevalent that you’ll see it everywhere but not inexistent that you’ll never be able to say you’ve never seen one around.Gentrification will be a word you’ll hear often and it’s a double edged sword. So please follow your own heart in all matters and take others experiences as other peoples really interesting experiences.I was considering moving there but after reading all of these comments, I think like you now, I should r-consider my life in Europe, even though I am sick of it impossible to achieve a good living standard in Europe at the moment, it has become so expensive.I agree that Vancouver is very expensive in comparison to salary. In other cities, if you speak to someone, you’re BFFs; in Vancouver, that’s courtesy and should be taken as such and nothing more. There are over 3200 acres of parks in Vancouver, with Stanley Park being the largest. Arts although not as extensive as other metropolitan city is still growing. Is it really that bad in Burnaby or Mt Pleasant? Ive read that there is a lot of film jobs in the city and software development. So it seems reasonable that before claim for things you want to receive to ask what you are going to do to fulfill other’s true needs, and not what do you want from them. This is normal in every other city in the world as every city has preferred areas that are especially expensive.As for the crime rates, Vancouver unfortunately does have a drug and gang problem – as does Toronto or Montreal. Because of that it is very transient. But it was just took big. That’s why I left. Basically I want to know if it would be worth if for us to relocate, and if the quality if life is better. Also negative energy begats negative energy. Torontonians seem to absolutely love the city and always talk it up compared to Montreal.

Any suggestions?Calgary. I get to eat out at least 3 – 4 times a week, more if I choose to but wise grocery shopping is the way to go. This is where you can get creative. If I allowed my experience to be dictated by others I would never go anywhere. I hope I’ve been able to shed a new & different perspective of how one can afford and enjoy living in Vancouver.I had lived in London for 5 years. You got to find an area that is within your budget and work your way “up” from there.

My neighbors is from SA and they love everything about this city. I went to Central Memorial High. The port is ranked number one in North America for exports and, according to InterVISTAS, generates $7 billion in wages via 115,000 Canadian supply chain jobs accross the country.Vancouver is also home to a variety of other industries including biotechnology, alternative fuels and software development.

One can love it or hate it depending on what your priorities are. Stats Canada even published figures supporting this.

I figured in order to get my foot in the door, a degree in Business Management would be ideal but after applying to god knows how many jobs, I’m lucky to be stuck at my current one making less than $18/hr. On the other hand, Vancouver easily beats Toronto for climate, proximity to the ocean, mountains, rivers, lakes and beaches. A rapidly growing population (doubling in the last 20 years) has resulted in an even more rapid increase in vehicle usage. If you like what they call ‘big city ambience’ (dirt, traffic, noise, crowding, bars, clubs) you won’t like it. If you want to get rich, move to Calgary. If you can’t afford decent space in downtown Vancouver then choose to live outside. When my parents first moved into our first house in New Westminster they were greeted well, they still spend time with their friends there even though we have lived 45 minutes away for 4 years now. The Asian community is huge and there are so many types of food available from those cultures that it boggles the mind. You don’t have to drive across the border all the time. However, the crime rate is horrendous with stabbings, shootings, etc. In my experience downtown Vancouver and West Vancouver are very closed, downtown for reasons unknown and West Vancouver simply because of the distance between houses and the general tendency of laziness of the mostly upper class that lives there. I commute to dt Van to work everyday from Burnaby.
