Hold up...
No food and entertainment do NOT cost the same as in Seattle lol
I can tell you straight out that is wrong.
Food is very expensive here as afar as dining out.
I would say food about 30% more and alchohol is at least double the price as in Seattle.
Take soccer which both have mls teams: price for center lower section tickets for Seattle SOunders: $56
Same seat at a Vancouver Whitecaps :$75
I went to a Hockey game this year and the fuckin ticket were $150 in LA that ticket was $70 and they are the Stanley Cup Champs.
Gas is $1.40 liter so 4 liters a gallon and you get :$5.60
Also those apartment you get downtown for that price are in the Westend. Those aprtments are for the most part run down.
A decent aprtment near Yaletown that is 550 sq feet is $1900/min
I was in LA and picked up a case of Coronas at Ralphs for $12...in Vancouver at the government run liquor store it is $25
Nobody is retiring in Vancouver
