I'm the OP of this thread. To be precise, I stayed there during the week of Mar 11 this year. Vancouver is far from being a bad city but I was just underwhelmed by it giving it's high livability ranking. After returning to my house in the NW Calgary burb', I can see some of the attractions Vancouver offers. While I love my bigger house here, nothing is within walking distance here unless you live on the Red Mile or downtown. At night, the burbs in Calgary are just boring bedroom communities with nothing much to do.
Still as a working man with a family to raise, I wouldn't choose Vancouver over Calgary. But in 20 years, maybe I can overlook the grey overcast sky and move there.
