Victoria's biggest problem is that, due to its size, it has many of the problems other medium to large-sized cities have (crime, homelessness, cost of living, etc.), but due to location and demographics, it doesn't offer the same level of amenities and entertainment that other cities of similar size do.
I still prefer living here to Calgary, but if you're not really into the outdoors, it gets pretty boring pretty fast out here.
