One thing to considered about kids and Vancouver is you'll probably still have them living with you in 25 or 30 years as they won't be able to afford to move out. Nothing like a sweet 300sqft apartment that you can't get to from the front entrance because the homeless have taken over for $2K a month.

Parts of Vancouver are great and lovely but i rarely see them. The parts I see are pretty ####ty actually and could be just about any city in NA.

Cost of living is the only thing I dislike about living here. I've resigned myself to that fact that I will never buy a house in a decent neighborhood out here so we try to save extra money to make up for that. We got lucky and our townhouse is about $1200 cheaper than if we were to rent it now. That's a pretty big chunk of change.

I'd move in a heartbeat to an affordable city but there's not many places that have a good film industry and are affordable.
