I also found it very hard for people to let you in, which I was surprised because I thought Toronto people were bad (grumpy & pushy) but...

Everything in life is a Cost vs Benefits analysis. I moved from Toronto to Vancouver as a young man in 1992. I attended UBC and worked and lived downtown for 20 years spending nights after work in Yaletown restaurants and pubs. In that time the population of the city doubled. Between 30,000 - 70,000 people a year moving here. Now that I'm 52 years old my interests and priorities have changed. If a person has children it's not surprising to move out to the suburbs. I've been in Abbotsford for 3 years now. I don't care about going to the beach anymore, I don't ski anymore, I use to enjoy the crowded streets of Robson and Granville but now I don't. I've been entertaining moving to New Brunswick where I can buy a house on 5 acres for $130,000 (small hobby farm). That's hard to resist. I know families with 3 children who have moved to Edmonton and other places where you can make more money and your dollar goes much further. For young people and/or young couples Vancouver is a great place to live. Without question the best weather in Canada only better in Victoria. But I know people who were born and raised here and now live in Regina and Calgary and they find the winters nicer for them in those cities, stating they don't like the wet damp cold we have in Vancouver. It all boils down to personal preference and cost benefits. My aunt and uncle moved to Aldergrove/Abbotsford from Ontario 4 years after I moved to Vancouver in 1996. They've since retired to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, which is the retirement capital of Canada. With a lifetime of savings for 70 year olds it's possible. If you're a young professional you can't beat Vancouver for lifestyle.

Would it surprise you to know that many people from South America have lighter-colored skin - mostly because of their European heritage? According to the latest census numbers I can find, the "Black" population in Toronto (the metropolitan area being more than twice the size of Vancouver) is around 8% while it is 1% in Vancouver. That's not a massive difference. I think it's more a function of geography than some kind of immigration policy conspiracy. Asia is simply closer to BC. Seattle's demographics are very similar to Vancouver and if I had to wager a guess, New York is probably closer to Toronto from a demographics perspective. It's been that way for decades so shouldn't have been that much of a surprise when you made the move to Vancouver?

It was a great city to raise children and be an active family involved in Arts and culture. Unfortunately, the city became flooded with foreign real estate speculators and criminal drug gangs who launder their profits from fentanyl into Vancouver housing, numbered accounts, luxury cars, etc..Corrupt politicians, the economy of poverty...so much festering dishonesty and greed seethes through the under current of what once was a charming west coast temperate rainforest city.

The east side of Vancouver is an example to the world of what policies to never follow in terms of homelessness, drugs and mental health. -The mountains, hikes and views are even more awesome than you would imagine. -Summers are super sunny. -The ocean is astonishingly overrated, the water is brown at all the major beaches, and just never clear. Some beaches are a lot of fun though because good crowds (wreck beach). -Population is much less diverse than it thinks it is. 90% of people are either white or asian.

That’s less than most major cities in the world, like Berlin, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Rome and etc. New York has a very extensive homeless housing program, as well as a robust rehabilitation system for substance abusers. Int total there are about 60.000 people without their own homes, but 56.500 of those have permanent shelter and do not live outside.

Correction. There may be "some" snow in Toronto anytime from the middle of November till the middle of April but it's not that much. We moved from Guelph (about an hour west of Toronto) to Vancouver in the late spring of this year. There are a great many people that try Vancouver and then go back to where they came from because they couldn't handle the depressing weather here. At least with the snow and cold for 5 month the other side of the Rockies there's sunshine most days, and that has a tendency to make people feel a lot better. The downside I see to southern Ontario is the extreme heat and humidity during summer months.

You're either rich or poor there. Also, I prefer Burnaby as it's more central and you can get to other areas in the region and do things. Not feeling too far away

But you find 1 bedroom apartments for under 800€ a month and salaries range between 35.000 - 100.000€ in general. We have high taxes (up to 45%) but health care is already included. The more I learn about Canada, the more I realize there are many similarities to Germany.

I live in Edmonton, but lived in Vancouver back in 1999. Even at that time it was expensive and the employment situation was bad too. I was however, one of the lucky ones as I lived in Vancouver during the 60's, 70's, 80's, and most of the 90's. The lucky times were the 60's and 70's, as back then, Vancouver was an awesome city. Gastown was really cool and it was clean and safe to walk East Hastings. Then came Expo 86, and after that, the city took a huge slide into what it is now. Before I left I use to say to others, "what good is milder weather and pretty mountains, when you go hungry and can never enjoy them?" I left for Calgary and got a job and an affordable place to live in one day!!! Yes, it's not as mild of weather, but it just toughens you up and now it's been so long, I don't even think about it. I now own a great place in Edmonton, I have a full belly, my bills are paid, and the taxes are low. Vancouver is a very pretty city, (outside of East Hastings), but with what I have now, I would visit but never move back. Just one persons story to consider. All it takes is courage to make the move!

The cost of living is eventually going to crash the housing market because the number of homeless people is going to section off larger and larger portions of the city and ruin property values, as a 25 year old with a 40-45k salary moving out of my families house is not in the books if I want to live an enjoyable life. It is definitely bad when the market is pricing out future generations of locals, people are often too busy working to pay living expenses to make time for leisure activities that help in developing communities and giving people reasons to stay when they can have much better lives in other regions of Canada or the world. Not only the cost of living but also the extortionate ICBC insurance rates, that require you to pay the cost of a decent used car every 2 years on a clean driving record because without it you can't get a license plate for your vehicle.

It might be harder now because real estate prices have gone up but with historic low interest rates, it’s much easier to service debt.

We had a business in Vancouver. There are many reasons to leave Vancouver. If you run a business where you need to lease space and have employees Vancouver is getting worse every year. 3000sqft is $10k property tax. A "standard" house worth $2million (nothing fancy) will likely set you back $10k property tax also. That's like renting ($800+ a month flushed down the toilet). Commuting through downtown (carpool) was a nightmare. Constant construction on most city blocks, every turn more construction. Plus they'd close 2 of 4 lanes on Nelson in morning rush hour... what?? There's nobody with a common sense brain left in city hall. You can't go to Stanley Park or most major recreational places on a weekend because there are 10x as many people there. Parking is crazy expensive. Sure, the beaches are beautiful and ocean is nice and the mountains look pretty. But it's lipstick on a pig. Cost of doing business, cost of running a business, cost of sitting stuck in traffic, cost of having employees sit on a bus on Georgia street for 25mins because some dolt decided to change the bus lane during morning rush hours.... the craziness just doesn't stop. Now, lets add on the recent ideas of making downtown and east to Clark St then south to Broadway a toll zone!! How about the recent announcement that ALL residential parking in the city would soon require paid permits or pay to park. What about the idea of removing at least 2 lanes on the Granville bridge for bike lanes. What?? Vancouver has the highest taxes in the province yet the city complains they are broke. What the hell are they doing with the money?? Oh wait the mayor just renovated one floor at city hall for what $700k while he asked the province for money as they are broke?? Something isn't quite right here. As a business owner, relocating anywhere about an hour out of Vancouver (or further) just makes sense. Three other business owners I know are moving their businesses out of Vancouver. Another one is so fed up with the red tape and crazy permit fees for renovating his warehouse space he's ready to pull the plug. Instead of $140 business license fee, why not move to a community where there is no business license required.... all these things add up. I've lived in Vancouver for decades and I've seen the slow decline. As more businesses move out what is the city's tax base going to be? Jumping ship was the best move ever. Before this I watched the "everyone is leaving California" videos.... it's all the same.... super high cost of living where eventually it negates the positive aspects.
