Lived in Vancouver area my whole life except for a year in Tucson, AZ.
Pros: great outdoors activities, a little rain never stopped anybody!
health care taken care of
RRSPs are helpful
fairly friendly people & communities
walkable neighbourhoods, unlike more modern american cities
lots of "local food" places
great food in Vancouver, at least!
Cons:
high sales taxes on everygoddamnthing, here comes the HST!
high gas prices ($1.14 a litre for 89 octane right now)
bad traffic
high rents/land value
basically expensive cost of living in Vancouver
you might as well learn Chinese. It's handy.
