It's a bit of yes and no.
Yes, because they were very invested into their careers, and climbing the corporate ladder was their goal in life. They had financial and personal goals, and Toronto was a good fit for them.
CCA-Dave nailed it. The downside to that was giving up everything they had in Vancouver, especially their families only to live in Onterrible. And now that they want to move back, it's harder because they are older, have families, and are still invested into their careers. Coming back to Vancouver could get them a house, but would they be able to afford the same lifestyle as they have now in Toronto? Probably not.
Picture yourself in Toronto with your BMW M2, but with a Range Rover, two rental properties a house, wife, and two kids. That can be achieved in Toronto. But can you do that in Vancouver as easily?
The big bonus is that you can come back to Vancouver as long as you have family. Sometimes, our personal circumstances dictate our outcomes, so if you are willing to take the risk, and give something up, now, or later, there is no right or wrong decision you make whether it is to move to Calgary or Toronto, or to stay put in Vancouver.
