Reply to comment by btkk in Biking in New York City Is 25 Times More Dangerous Than in Vancouver, Study Finds by habichuelacondulce

I have family who live in Vancouver and have been living there for decades. The only reason they are there is for the money - much like everyone else there. There's not much to do in Canada like the States so if you're not in Toronto or Vancouver, there's nothing else to do besides doing something nature-y. Montreal used to be nice but it's pretty ghetto in most areas.

I honestly don’t think many people are living in Vancouver for the money. One of its major problems is that the economy and development of the city cannot keep up with its desirability — most workers struggle to afford it.

People earning a premium (over what they’d get in other cities) is rare in Vancouver. And it’s often a major reason when people leave the city (it was a contributing factor for my gf and me).
