Looking on the whole I think there are major problems with the city that ppl just gloss over bc "everyone wants to live here"
Just as you have done I could pick 1 city better than vancouver for each metric discussed, but doing so is as pointless as you picking 1 city separately worse in each metric

You're not wrong. I'm just telling you why I prefer to live in Vancouver over Seattle, SF, or Toronto, even though I could rise up the ladder faster.
You're also not wrong that there are problems in Vancouver that are being ignored. I think, being an avid news watcher, that the problems facing Vancouver are easier to stomach than what's going on in other big cities--this is one of the reasons I'm not saying "I want to get out of Vancouver ASAP".
Seeing the huge protests in Seattle to increase the minimum wage; the CCP flexing its muscle over Hong Kong; crumbling infrastructure in Montreal; Rob Ford destroying the Transit City plan for some stupid subways; police corruption in the states from the Dorner affair to "Stop and Frisk" to Ferguson; young people being crushed by debt for getting sick or going to college; I think we're very lucky to be living in Vancouver, BC, and Canada as a whole.
