Yet you keep missing the point. “Was”. I am not saying prices today or equal. I am simply saying when I did the math pre Covid the cost of living was very similar all things considered. Like I already said the link you provided looks like a bunch of bad data so truly hard to tell. Categorically false are strong words without any data!

There is a lot of data available online that you can find very easily. Zillow for example, regarding rent: SF average rent: $4,795USD [1] Vancouver average rent: $2840USD [2] [1] https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/san-francisco-ca/ https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/san-fran... [2] https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/vancouver-bc/ https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/market-trends/vancouve... I would say categorically false is accurate and an anecdote from 7 years ago isn't adding anything productive to the conversation. EDIT: Sorry, I just saw that you said "all things considered". I think we agree that when you factor in salary, it is financially worse to live in Canada. I just noticed a lot of completely inaccurate statements about the rent being the same which I was trying to correct. Apologies if you got caught in the crossfire.
