Like I said before, a lot of people are making that choice and simply moving out of Vancouver, and this is the point. When you have an exodus of people aged 30-50 leaving the city, it has disastrous effects on the local economy. And it's not a solution to say people should work harder or live in the suburbs for a few years. That kind of thinking only holds up in expensive places, whereas Vancouver has gone from expensive to unaffordable.

There is a train out to there you know, half hour into town! Park up a new west and catch the sky train if you prefer a little flexibility.
I lived out there, it really isn't that bad.
