Living in Vancouver proper brings all sorts of other challenges as well when you become a parent - lack of daycares, lack of civic facilities, lack of elementary schools in areas of the city where middle-income families are having to live, etc.

So, if you have to basically have a car once you become a parent, the savings argument kind of falls off.
If you need a car once you have kids then you'd need to get a second one if the one parent has a 30 min commute. Trying to drop off your wife and your kids and having a commute sounds impossible.
