LIFE in Vancouver: PROS & CONS of living in Vancouver (watch before moving)

Toronto Vancouver all major cities in Canada sucks. It's too expensive & the rich don't give a shite about you. They just want everything 4 themselves. Greedy greedy greedy. Just like every major city in the world.

I moved away from Vancouver because it was too expensive. Now hoping to return to Canada and thinking of Calgary!

Well done video! I live there twice and experienced Vancouver's best and worst. Still, at the end of the day I regret moving away. I miss the superb nature, views and wide open spaces👍

Bro, I wanted to move to Vancouver but hearing that it’s very LGTVHD friendly, that’s what changed my mind

I wish to move to Vancouver but unfortunately live in dredmonton I wish to move back maybe some day I will

I live in Vancouver. Vancouver is beautiful, but it's the least beautiful part of BC. Just a mere hour's drive from the city and you get some spectacular scenery.

Her accent is adorable. Great video.

How much do you pay in tax and fees?

She is Spanish?

Subtitles please!

I lived in Lower Mainland area for about 25 years. I like it here, despite all the problems, and I have no plan to move anywhere anytime soon. The negatives I see here are typical of big cities in general, and it's really nothing ground breaking. I do have to add two things in particular that can be pretty annoying: 1) the city's infrastructures are hilariously unprepared for harsh weather, because usually the weather is pretty mild, but heavy snowfall is becoming more common in winter. Two years ago when the snow got pretty nasty, I drove out early in the morning to work and saw only one snow plow along the way. 2) the transit system is great but the city overall is still very car-centric, our Sky Train could definitely use more coverage.

Thank you so much for the information. I will move in next year to attend SFU, super excited but really worried about the price ❤

very helpful!

Take away the ocean and mountains, and then whats there to talk about.

Tredeau and the lack of guns is not for me.

Se escucha paisa , mexicana por acento inevitable 👍

SAFE ! FRIENDLY ?????? SINCE WHEN ????

I love Vancouver. Moved here 19 years ago. Thought this was it. I found my “home” However, Vancouver has done priced me out of the city. Cost of Living is just beyond the point of stupid. Will be moving in the spring of 2024.

His Pro,-Immigrants, Con -High cost of living are tied together. Asian property investors have driven the cost of housing thru the roof.

I like Vancouver film school

I just left Canada entirely. There are many better options elsewhere with lower prices and better weather.

Full of junkies and homeless people

So sick of all the bullshit about Canada on the internet confusing people and lying to them. Cost of living (unaffordability) here should've been the first and largest con. If you can't afford to buy your own place for cash after saving for 5 years of work, tops 10, this city is a waste of time for you and you'll be having a life of a stray dog. But nobody has the balls to say you that on the internet. Everything has to be that bubblegum bullshit presented with a stupid smile. Who the f*k cares about diversity, activities and other nonsense when you live like a dog waiting to be abused by landlords or worse, a loser who rents a room

CON: way too many rich immigrants pricing out Canadians who were born here

I love your video. Totally understand your con list. We love, love, love living in Vancouver. I’ve lived in many other places in Canada and around the world and Vancouver is my favourite location to live in. ❤

Expensive,, urine stench,,, homeless,, dope,, filthy,,, you can have it. Too bad. It used to be such a beautiful city.

Boring video. Vancouver is full of problems. It's the San Francisco of Canada.

Con: rain rain rain.

great Video, I am planning to move to Vancouver 2024 and to build a hospitality business, all the tings mentioned 99% simelar to Amsterdam, this is my home town, i have been 1 time to Vancouver and loved it, and is attractive for hospitality business owners like me. thanks for the vid. now I want move tomorrow hahah

I am currently attending a school concentrated on graphic design. I have always lived and still do live in Germany. My current future plan is moving to Vancouver after I graduated and pursuing a graphic design career there. After a bit of research I have found that most jobs in that field make around 30$ per hour. I want to move to Vancouver because I love nature but also want to live in a walkable city. I would be fine with living in a small apartment which I rent.

wow. that was really not good

You can thank the chinese for the astronomical real estate prices as well as the canadian government for allowing billions of dollars to be laundered through BC…

Personally the rain is a mega pro

I lived in Vancouver most of my life, and it is very beautiful here, but it’s too expensive to live in

Vancouver is the most beautiful city in the world 🌎❤️🙌

If the cost of living is high, that means its a good place to live

I went on a family vacation with my narcissistic parent when I was younger. We stayed only 3 days and he was very stingy. I told him I really liked it there and he got really angry. He said if we stayed any longer, he’d be poor.

Minimum wage should be 30.00 per hour full time job plus a side hassle cause that’s not enough that’s only for rent! And add another side hassle for your food and what not.. 😂 Lol if you want to live in Vancouver everything is soo expensive ..so basically if you live here work hard and play hard🤣😂 good luck to us all🤣🤣so for immigrants that are just starting their life here? 🤞 good luck.

Only the rich could afford Vancouver now…homelessness… and drug addiction are the most problems and the rent is too expensive…

Oh, let me reveal the shocking truth about Canada! It's an absolute utopia where people joyfully opt to live on the streets, indulging in government-regulated overdoses to maintain their precious dignity. Who needs affordable housing and support anyway? Homelessness is the hottest trend, meticulously designed by Canada's insatiable greed for capitalism. It's the epitome of opulence and extravagance! Forget about the mere illusion of wealth distribution and the hidden extremes of poverty carefully masked by the Canadian government. Homelessness is the ultimate privilege and a fundamental human right in this extraordinary wonderland. 😅! You get to proudly contribute your fair share of premium housing prices while relishing the luxurious ambiance of the streets. It's an absolute dream come true! What a stroke of brilliance! Let's all celebrate and wholeheartedly embrace homelessness as the ultimate symbol of lavish living. Bravo, Canada!

The reason people have a hard time meeting new friends is because of the immigrants that come here do not mingle with anybody but the ones from their own country. They make their own areas and don’t let anyone else in. I’m a 5th generation Canadian, so I know first hand.

You lost me on LGBTQ friendly! Rather stay in SA with no electricity thanks

The scariest con: Hard to make friends.

The downtown in Vancouver is definitely something else in comparison to cheap, little, boring, downtown Winnipeg. Winnipeg also has a huge drug and homeless problem, most of the bus shacks downtown are lived in by the homeless, so if you want to wait in a bus when its cold outside or if its raining, you can, but there will be others in there who are smoking drugs, are high, and could sometimes be aggresive. Vancouver has much, MUCH more to offer than Winnipeg. Winnipeg is a ghost town compared to Vancouver, like literally.

I went too visit and love it
But u were right cuz hard too make friends there when I am from USA

This city is scenic but that's where the compliments end, the quality of people make or break any city and this human cesspool has without question the most clueless, lazy & obnoxious morons in all of that Northern wasteland, better known as Canada. Tourists and out of town visitors avoid this tragic city at all costs because besides the no class people, the cost of everything there is exorbitant and lastly is totally full of gay men.

Great video.

How much do you think or the range for a 1bedroom apartment in the city?
