^ Me too, I'd rather live anywhere in the lower mainland or on the island than Calgary to be honest............ but I also can't argue with the home prices. My example is extreme, itw would be kind of stupid to go to Calgary and spend $1.4M on a house, but you can get a HUGE house in the NW for $700k quite easily, which is pretty much what my now paid off condo is worth.
The costs are never going to catch up with an equivalent home here. My best friend lives there and he's like 10x richer than he would have ever been if he stayed here... and he is NOT in oil and gas... not even remotely.
I just can't quite convince myself to do it because of the fuckin weather... I've visited him when it was -50C before and experienced that... the temperature isn't even the part that blows, it's the fact it stays so dead looking for so long that bothers me. Ughhhhh!!!! Tres dificile.
