Realistically I could make my million last about a decade there, as I don't plan on dieing at 65 it's not a possibility.
I always laugh when people complain about the price of Vancouver, they don't know what expensive is.

People complain about the price of Vancouver... compared to the price of Vancouver. Detached house prices have risen, what, 40% in the past five years? 20% in the past year?
I would hope I would have the self awareness not to laugh at anyone complaining about the price of Vancouver if I bought my east van house 30 years ago for pennies and it's now worth $1.5M. Just because London is even more expensive? No one is allowed to complain about housing prices in their city unless they live in a top five expensive city on the planet? Makes about zero sense.
