I grew up in the Oakridge area, heck I remember when Oakridge was an outdoor mall! His comments about daycare seems correct on the surface, but Vancouver is an odd city that you need to know someone to get what you want. Vancouver is a city all about connections, if you don't got them, it is very tough.
For my work, I have had to opportunity to travel all over the place from Sweden to South America and I have yet to find an overall blend of a better place to live and raise my family. Sure it is stupid expensive to live, but do you think people who choose to stay in Vancouver are dumb? Heck I could buy a 7000sq ft house on a 2 acre plot in Abbotsford, but I would rather have my 33x120 in Vancouver. Different strokes for different folks.......
