If all your friends and family live in the Vancouver area, they'll never come visit you, so now you're isolated, and you're far enough from the city where it's a pain in the ass to drive in, especially with traffic.
At that point you might as well move to the island, or a new province entirely. I'd much rather explore another province as a living situation entirely than resort to living in somewhere like Chilliwack, or Abbotsford.

My brother moved out there in 2009 to be with his wife and her family. They bought in a brand new TH in Sardis near the golf course. They paid around $250k back then. He still worked (works) in Port Kells. His commute used to be 45 min each way but because of population boom over the last 14 years, his commute is now 1.5 hours each way.
Fast forward to now and he:
Has 1 kid with behavioral problems
Has 1 other kid with medical issues
Has Type II
Hate's his wife's family
Doesn't see his family (skipped birthdays, thanksgiving etc)
Seems more miserable than ever
Still makes financially retarded decisions
Between cow farts and a swill factory, there's not much there that's worth a heart's beat. Also, in the summertime, the women tend to wear less restrictive clothing
