Leaving New Mexico but for where?

Vancouver. Just voted the third best city in the world, apparently. Nice and warm in the winter, not too hot in the summer, and close to the water. Big city, so there should be a good number of jobs available.

True, but our real estate market is insane right now and has been for a couple of years. It has almost reached the point where a working class family can not afford to get into the housing market.

This has also been the weirest winter I have seen in the 13 years I have lived here. Heck, I had snow on the ground this morning. The summers now have at least 2-4 weeks of 30+ degree days, and the while the winters are still mild, this last one we had to endure several hurricane force windstorms, record setting rainfall and snow fall, and it still isn't over.

There are jobs available, but the political climate of BC, Vancouver city particularly is now focused on the Olympics in 2010 and very little else. If you are in construction, or have a trade, than you can right your own path in BC right now and trades are in huge demand.

I love living in BC, but it is certainly not as perfect as some of these surveys would have you believe.

Look, I live in Kingston, ON. BC wins.
