If I was 20, I’d seriously be looking at Alberta. The mainland, starting from scratch as a young person? Come on. This place isn’t that great. Lol.

I wouldn’t want to be in Calgary as a young person socially, it seems a better fit for aging people who don’t go out as much like to watch stuff in a home theatre or work on cars and hobbies and go out once in awhile… I know my friend seems to think raising his kid there was a million times better and he has a lot more friends in his neighbourhoods than he ever had here.

If not Penticton, then Portugal
Bit of a leap but ok
Could consider Airdrie but even Red Deer is about the same as Vancouver to Chilliwack (Distance wise) but that's assuming no traffic on Hwy 1 (good luck with that).
Anyway, I'm ok with living somewhere with savings potential so I can travel more. Vancouver could be subjectively seen as exciting compared to Calgary but I get pretty bored here too. Hardly a world class city like it boasts itself to be. Anyway, there's enough TFWs coming in to replace more than who's leaving anyway so it looks like everyone wins...except the infrastructure

I heard if you live south of the highway, Chilliwack is a pretty good place.
The north seemed like a shithole with a bunch of homeless people when I was in the area for a wedding.

Although if enough of you move there maybe you can help sort out their looney tunes politics. At least if you're anything but white the far right nutjobs might not assume you agree with them and start ranting about the dumb shit they believe all the time. That gets old fast.

However, if it was chilliwack or X, I’d take penticton over chilliwack every time

If I got tired of Vancouver's COL I'd split the diff in cost of living and head to the island instead of Alberta. I'd be mortgage free with a place like this and just rolling in cash.

Have any of you had a buyers inspector try to require GFCIs in all the kitchen outlets? I don't know all of the electrical code but that doesn't sound right.

YES! and fuck those god damn outlets.
the new place has those and they are pieces of shits. They even required them in all exterior outlets and bathrooms.
Everytime putting in a plug is like fighting against some plastic bullshit.
i think tis building code now. but if you have an older home, you can argue that it wasnt part of the building code when it was built so shove it up your ass.

Yea it’s code.. my electrician tossed them all in on my kitchen counter outlets.
I think code might actually be that bedrooms need them as well now. As hobz said they get super fucking annoying when you have a cord with a ground on them because the shit has to go in perfect to engage the stupid protection part

Is it the GFCI's or the tamper resistant requirement? I swapped all mine to TR ages ago and they were super sticky at first but they got better after some use. Quote:

I say "GFCI protected receptacles" because one GFCI outlet can actually protect a downstream string of regular receptacles fed from that GFCI.
They could be getting confused with the USA National electrical code (NEC) just issued an amendment starting in 2023 that all kitchen plugs must be GFCI protected regardless of proximity to sink. Even then if this did apply to Canada though, unless you're doing new electrical work in the kitchen to those circuits, there's no mandatory requirement to update to the newest code. I'd tell them to pound sand.
The split receptacle thing went away when kitchen receptacles started to be wired with 20A circuits. You can do either-or now.
Bedrooms/living areas do not need GFCI, they need AFCI. it works differently, and even that is a relatively new code requirement (2002 i think). If your house is older, you're not under obligation to install them unless you do new work that affects those circuits.

Apparently Calgary isn't that cheap anymore. it would be roughly the same price of Chilliwack? | I feel like once you have to resort to moving to Chilliwack, what's really the point in staying in this province any longer? I mean, unless you absolutely love The Wack, and have some foundations there.
If all your friends and family live in the Vancouver area, they'll never come visit you, so now you're isolated, and you're far enough from the city where it's a pain in the ass to drive in, especially with traffic.
At that point you might as well move to the island, or a new province entirely. I'd much rather explore another province as a living situation entirely than resort to living in somewhere like Chilliwack, or Abbotsford.
