From the comments section of an online article in the Vancouver Sun, 27 Apr 2010, ‘Yes, there’s a housing bubble in Canada — but only in three cities’, by Edmonton Journal business columnist Gary Lamphier -
anonymous 27 Apr 2010 9:42 am – “We left Vancouver after we got married, and moved to Edmonton. We now own our own house with a big yard for our dogs to play in. We would never have been able to do that in Vancouver. Coming to Edmonton was the best move we ever made.”
anonymous 10:25 am – “I also moved from Vancouver to Edmonton – much less rain, much more sun, less traffic, and much more affordable which all equals a great standard of living.”
anonymous 11:01 am – “We moved from Vancouver to Edmonton also to enjoy the lifestyle (it may be cold but at least it’s not raining) as well as affordability, good jobs, and future for our children.”
anonymous 1:30 pm – “Both my wife and I have looked into moving to the west coast, where we used to live. We’re both professionals in the medical/heath field, and have a number of offers for positions. However, we would both take notable pay cuts, on top of the cost of housing there. We will happily remain in Alberta as long as this makes sense and enjoy our disposable income!”
