Well I've lived in both for about equal parts of the last 7 years. In my experience living not super close to the core Vancouver was overall cheaper for my living costs. Obviously it is going to vary by person and where you want to live/rent but Calgary is not a cheap city and I don't understand when people say Vancouver is way more expensive. You can actually eat out in Vancouver for a reasonable price.
The transit in Calgary is massively useless unless you're trying to go to downtown and back. try going from the SW to the NE, or the SE to the NW, etc. Had way less issues in Vancouver going a variety of directions.
Just my experience of course but it is firsthand. I assume you've lived in both as well?
