Vancouver is the only place I know where if you don't live in the center of town it doesn't count as living in Vancouver.
If you move to London or New York do you expect to live in Manhatten or Kensington or Westminster with a view of the Houses of Parliment?
New Westminster and Surrey are all still part of Vancouver, as is Langley. It would help if there were a decent train service that ran up the valley all day and night granted but I doubt there's a more beautiful suburb in Canada than Maple Ridge or Mission and yet people here seem to think it's some kind of purgatory being inflicted on them that they have to live in a place that would be considered paradise by most in the world.
I really don't get it, I bought my first houses out in the valley, that paid for the down payment on my place in East Van, it's not the end of the world to bring your kids up in Poco then move into Vancouver later on if you want.
