I'm hearing about this more and more these days.
I'm seeing lots of people here now who can't even afford Langley or Surrey, so they're thinking what's the point of going out to Abbotsford or Mission next. Might as well go somewhere like Calgary at that point.

Even other towns in BC are becoming unaffordable, places like Kelowna, Victoria, Penticton, Squamish, etc...And the province/municipalities are showing little desire/ability to fix the issue. Granted a significant cause of the problem is related to monetary and immigration issues, which are the responsibility of the federal government.
If I had the choice between even Surrey or Calgary, I'd go Calgary. For me, the major issue is commuting and relative closeness to amenities. An hour long commute totally kills any advantage that living in Vancouver provides.
