To me Kelowna has all the negatives of a big city, and still many of the negatives of a small town.
-Traffic is horrendous
-Massive gang presence
-Huge drug problems
-A surprising amount of homelessness
-High housing prices (Although my knowledge there might be outdated)
-No NHL team
-Limited Post Secondary options
-Potential to have to go to Vancouver for serious medical problems
You are making all these tradeoffs to live on an awesome lake.
Living on a lake would be really awesome, so I'm not saying it wouldn't be worth it, but for me it would have to be a great job and an awesome lake to make up for all the crap that comes there. Otherwise I'd rather live in many other places in interior BC instead.
