I'm mentioning these townhomes cause their big enough to raise a family in without having to move once 1-2 kids pop out.
I find it only gets expensive if you want a semi-detached/detached house and it has to be in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, etc.

My commute from home to work (Burnaby--Imperial/Canada Way to Richmond--Simpsons/Bridgeport) is 35 minutes in the morning, 45 minutes going home.
If I lived in Chiliwack, Abbotsford, Langley.. My commute would probably be an hour and a half easy each way. That's 3 hours/day = 15hours/week = 720hours/year spent sitting on the goddamn road. I'd probably kill myself first.
