To each their own I suppose, if your kids have to goto school in Langley they're going to be in the same classes as the offspring of single moms who named their kids with double vowels like "Kaeden" and the rest of the trashy names you'll find out there.
At least downtown your children typically would have the opportunity to meet the offspring of a less beige and more culturally advanced lineage.

When I lived in Langley, my commute was 10 minutes long (the drive along 208th from Brookswood into downtown Langley was nice and quick).
Exciting nightlife? I'd rather spend the evening BBQ'ing next to a pool and sitting in front of a bonfire with a beer. Going clubbing got boring after I hit 21.
Big box stores... sure, there's Costco and Walmart, but there's still dozens of mom and pop stores to buy hand crafted furniture and clothing.
As for arts and culture, take a trip down to Fort Langley one day. As above, there are tons of mom and pop stores where you can buy hand crafted things. There are also tons of art shows where you can buy some fantastic local art, including some from one of my favourite local artists (who also happens to be my old art teacher from high school).
And you're one of the last people who should be bashing milfs...
But it's all personal preference. I've lived in the city before (Yaletown) and didn't like it. I prefer my space, a yard to actually enjoy, and enough space in a house to properly raise children instead of being stuck in a 600 square foot apartment.
I currently rent a twenty-two acre property and house in the outskirts of Salmon Arm and a townhouse in downtown Kamloops. While it's nice being two minutes away from all my shopping needs in Kamloops, I would rather stick to having tons of property to fuck around on and not worry about keeping my neighbours awake at two in the morning.
