Lots to do if the outdoors in your thing, otherwise not a ton to do.

Ideally a city would offer a varied mix of affordable activities.

I suppose I just got spoiled living in San...

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

Vancouver and Portland are similiar sized city's and metro areas. Both city's also happen to be in fairly nice natural scenic areas.

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

Most of the East Indian's I work with live multi-generational and seems to work well.

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

Our rent is $1,750 so not exactly low, affordable or easy to meet, but it is lower then market rent in...

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

In Vancouver there really is no housing ladder anymore and a condo is even out of range for more and more families/people.

Using CMHC affordability calculator and 50k down, they say max price of...

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

Indeed it wasn't. It was a blue collar mill town back then for the most part.

Back then places like Abbotsford and Chilliwack weren't either, but today effectively are part of Vancouver even if...

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

The only reason we are paid what we are paid where I work is due to the high cost of living in Vancouver and it being an employees market for low skilled jobs, we have a difficult attracting...

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

My wife's mother bought a home in Squamish in 1984, she worked at Sears as a sales person.

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

Not sure anyone earning the median or average income in Vancouver can afford to buy these days, at least a house, maybe a condo but even condos are a bit pricey, we are in East Van and in somewhat...
