why you have a 30km commute.
Because, if you understand Vancouver, you realize that if you want a house, and don't have millions, you need to live in the burbs. It's just too damn expensive here.
That said, I see it as an issue to be corrected, however that takes time. Sorry, but I'm not raising a family of 4 in a condo, based on the experience of raising a family of 3 in a condo.
- BrandonM 16y agoFair enough. I'm glad to hear that you have it in your mind to correct the issue. Good luck!
- jimbokun 16y agoPittsburgh has lots of cheap houses in an urban environment. I walk to work most days, but considering getting a bike to save time. So, anyone looking to raise a family in nice sized house while still living in a city, should consider Pittsburgh. You can also Google previous HN discussions of the tech/startup scene in Pittsburgh.
- ultrasaurus 16y agoNeither here nor there, but Vancouver is in Canada, and working somewhere that you are not a citizen is still a lot harder than it needs to be. Of course the grandparent could still consider Waterloo.
- run4yourlives 16y agoI'd rather move to Pittsburgh! :-P
- natrius 16y agoWhat particular problems did you run into while raising a family of three in a condo? It's not a common occurrence around here, but I've concluded that more of it would be a good thing, so your input would be helpful.
