I find cost of living in Vancouver (North Shore) quite high when compared, for example, with Portland, OR. Granted, this is one of the more expensive regions in Canada vs a city in a state with no sales tax, but still most of the goods and food in Canada are significantly more expensive than in the US.
- jacquesm 13y agoInteresting, ok, you can xordon both mention Vancouver to be much more expensive these days, please note that any information about Canada that I have is likely to be 6 years out of date (that's when I last spent time there) and wrt Vancouver closer to 8 years. I know several people that moved there from Toronto recently and neither of them mentioned expensive housing but I'll take your word for it.
- rdouble 13y agoVancouver was ranked least affordable housing market in the world by the Economist two years back.
- fargolime 13y agoIts house prices make it one of world's most expensive cities, with slightly worse weather than Seattle (where it's overcast at least 6 months a year), where houses are much cheaper.
