I wonder why the rest of the province would rank low? I would imagine Life Satisfaction ratings to be quite high in places like the Okanagan and Vancouver Island.

Yeah, there’s more to BC than Vancouver. I moved to Victoria 2 years ago from a lifetime in Calgary. I’m pretty happy here. BUT it’s well known how hyper local people are here. Preference is always given to those who were born here. Born Victorian > born islander > born BCian > rest of Canada/world > Ontario
Cost of housing is the biggest downside. My house here is double what I sold my house in calgary for. I love Calgary, and the mountains, but I’m 15 minutes from some amazing adventures here, and there’s so much to explore. I was in Vancouver last week for work and I was craving my quiet island life pretty badly.
