Hot take but it's not perfect but it works for me. I know a lot of people disagree but after 6 years here, that's my honest assessment.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Maple Ridge. It's surprisingly good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in tech. If you're in consulting you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

No regrets on my end..

Used to live on the Highland side, now on the Downtown side. Completely different vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here.
