Yeah, but it has it's problems as well (like anywhere else). Great city to live in though. Technically what is often refered to as Vancouver is the Lower Mainland which is made up of several cities connected to each other (Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Maple Ridge. Pitt Meadows, Richmond, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Surrey/ Delta[we don't talk about that one]) http://www.sd40.bc.ca/power/images/l...%20map%202.jpg

Each area offers it's own unique experiences and adventures. It's a great place to visit, but a fantastic place to live. Where else can you go skiing and play golf in the same day? How about diving and horseback riding?
