OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Maple Ridge. It's improving for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in real estate. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Hope this helps!.

Hot take but it's been a really good experience overall. I know a lot of people disagree but after 14 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've been living here for 11 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The dating scene is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..
