I know I sound like an elitist city dweller, but there's a reason why Vancouver is such an expensive place to buy/rent. If you want cheap rent the suburbs is the way to go, but sorry that's not for me. If it comes to it I'll take public transportation and ditch my car to pay rent and to live in Vancouver than moving out of the city.

What do you do for a living? Do you have a significant other or a young family? Those are two of the biggest factors that I think most people face nowadays. It's easy for everyone to say they'll just pick up and move, but the fact of the matter is that it's not financially feasible for most. You're basically starting a new life in the new city you're moving to, and if you don't have a proper well paying job lined up then you're going to be SOL. In fact, you'll probably be worse off because you won't have the friend and family support that you'd have back home.
