Cost of living is overrated for Vancouver. Do you mean cost of buying a house? Inflation has hit Calgary hard. In my experience having lived extensively in both cities in the last 5 years it is a lot cheaper to eat out in Vancouver. Rent can be bad in Vancouver near the core, but Calgary's rent has gotten pretty crazy too.
I found the cost of living to be pretty similar. As I said, Calgary has been hit hard by inflation in the last 5 years with restaurants in Calgary having passed Vancouver for the most part in my experience.
