Making your bus ride billable is wild

At 51:00, "a highway which is not really a highway" is called a "stroad" by urban planners.

In Vancouver, 80% rent, and 20% groceries and other insurances. So, be mindful if you're moving here.

Moving to vancouver? Make sure your crack pipes are nice and clean so you don't burn your lips.

I moved to calgary a year ago from Los Angeles. Not just me but my whole family actually, cousins uncles and aunts and all. We love it here so far. I dont think we will be moving back to the states at all. And dont worry this planned way for years .8 years to be exact. However over that time period we all came at different times.

Great overview. Based on my experience, I would definitely avoid any areas with Indians and especially Punjabis. Overcrowding, too many cars illegally parked, other bylaw infractions that are generally ignored.

South Vancouver from Fraser & east 41st south to east 57th is going to be the next place one like Main Street

Vancouver at least has events, they're both expensive. Vancouver wins

Great overview!

Moving back to my hometown from Toronto in 5-7 yrs. Can’t wait - your channel is invaluable ❤

Are you going to do a video on the surrounding outside vancouver as well?

the answer is moving to Calgary :D

This is crazy, $800K to $1M is now classified as affordable!

After expo86, the sushi boom on Robson with international students was the reason I am a CDN expat in Japan for almost 30 years 😅

Vancouver is opposite to Japan where I am. The winter is sunny, very early sunrise, super dry and cold, similar to Vancouver, very little snow if at all. Summer is super hot/humid (80%) and almost unbearable in summer like most of South East Asia. Yet housing and cost of living is way, way cheaper though.

Thanks for your perspective. I lived in Vancouver for 14 years, from the young age of 20. Hoping to be able to return some day, and tend to agree with your perspectives. I never really realized a lot of places I lived are maybe more walkable/their own microcosm than some other areas of Vancouver (I mostly lived in Mount Pleasant/Riley Park, Commercial Drive, and the West End, with a little Hastings Sunrise mixed in).

Thanks for giving us an overview of the Vancouver market in early 2025. I've wondered about Mission, Chilliwack, Langley and other points in between as options, but I always come back to Kits and West Point Grey, being close to the ocean and the convenience. What video's do you have coming up next Sebastian?

Really enjoyed your professional take !! Thanks so much 😊

Kitsilano is about to go to hell...all those high rises...yuck . My place in Arbutus Walk will be surrounded by hideous high rises.

Mount pleaset is thriving..

All of downtown is a complete dump

I was born in van/ grew up in delta/surrey. Moved back n forth all my life n i found this vid really super interesting even tho ive lived here my whole life, Great job on this!

There is a night life ,on a smaller scale, in Vancouver if you're into discovering new local original music ,but, it's scattered around the city and in mostly smaller venues: Lanalou's, The Rickshaw, The Heatley and ocassionally The Cambie Hostel in the downtown eastside, The Princeton and Green Auto in Strathcona, Red Gate on Main near Mt. Pleasant, Guilt & Company, and 2nd Floor Water St Cafe in Gastown, The Painted Ship in Kits, The Wise Hall, The Silvia Hotel in The West End, The Brighton further east on Hastings, and the odd local live original shows at The Pearl ,(formerly Venue), on Granville and The Biltmore downstairs off Kingsway.

I would LOVE to leave Vancouver... I just can't afford it (sigh).

If I am immigrating from the US, like suburbs or rural areas close (20 min) from the city, and I would be working in MT Pleasant, what would you suggest?

Have been living here in Vancouver almost 6 years mix of good and bad experience all points u mentioned are perfectly said i had experience all that wish have a good fortune in this city 😀 😊 😊

Burnaby Heights real estate makes East Van look cheap

As a mainlander being born and raised in the rockies of BC , I ventured out to Vancouver last summer . Took my camper van . Spent all summer, I really enjoyed North Van , marine drive, lonadale , kitsilano , those are mu my favorite areas as a Canadian Caucasian in my early 30s , close to whistler and Squamish. You can always catch the water taxi to downtown Vancouver if you wanna party on Granville st. So I think North Van is the best neighbor in my opinion based on my wants and needs 😉 Vancouver is very "vanlife" friendly too . Soo many free spots to sleep in your camper

What did Paris ever do to you? Lol

If one day i win million dollars jackpot, then i would definitely move to this city, i would come here myself all alone, despite my family not interested in.

I've lived in Vancouver since 1970 and can tell that I've had umbrellas ever since we moved here. It hardly ever "rains" here but, it drizzles a whole lot. Every once in a while, we'll get a storm with thunder and lightning and a heavy down-pour but those are few and far between. The REAL nemesis of Vancouver is snow. This city doesn't handle snow removal nearly as well as the cities in the east that get tons of snow every year, so, when we do get a good sized dump of the white stuff, the whole city and everything out to the Fraser Valley basically shuts down for a couple of days till they get the streets cleared. I've never considered leaving this city. It's home!

I really lucked out, I moved near Cambie and 49th Ave, so I have a bus that takes me east to Burnaby or west to UBC, and walking a block or so gets me onto the Canada Line to go down-town or Richmond.

I'm utterly sick of this mediocre city but business keeps me here

Hey man whoever did your makeup did an outstanding job, just saying ❤

That's a pretty good description of the rain in Vancouver. In comparison to cities I know well on the east coast, not only does the rain often downpours, but it also accompanied with some wind, which makes the rain fall sideways. And it can be so intense that the water doesn't have time to clear away and it makes the new raindrops splash the water on the ground. So you can get soaked pants and shoes in 15 seconds. This basically never happens in Vancouver. So I call the rain in Vancouver sissy rain. And it comes to one funny thing about Vancouver rain. People carry umbrellas when they forecast rain, but very little people are actually opening them. If you ask them why they don't use their umbrella, they will answer they don't want to get it wet. I found that pretty ridiculous at first... then I organically started doing the same thing...

What are new high rises in Port Moody ready to move in 2026- what is the name of those projects?

Another great video, I lived in Toronto for 29 years, 10 years in Calgary and 4 years in Vancouver I got to say weather in Vancouver is the best. People think it pours here but as you say it essentially spits the majority of the time…and summer is beyond spectacular essentially no rain and a Mediterranean climate. I will take gloomy days with a light jacket. You said you have four kids if I recall you had 3 before?

You do need an umbrella in Vancouver. It all depends on what you do for a living, where you work and how you commute. For example, if you work downtown Vancouver in an office where you need to wear more formal wear, a rain jacket does not cut it while you are waiting for the bus. If you are carrying a purse or a laptop you can’t just let it all get soaked. Also, the numbers you mentioned do not show the reality that some years we have 3 or 4 months with NO sun at all , so you go to work in the darkness, come back home in the darkness and the rest of the day is a never-ending greyness that is very depressing.

I’ve lived on the North Shore and now White Rock. Definitely differences between the two place.. I’d explain it roughly like this in White Rock : 4 months where rain (usually light drizzle but can rain hard at times) is the expected norm and sunny weather the exception/ 4 months mixed (changeable) but perfectly fine/ 4 months where rain and cloudy weather is the exception. 7 or 8 months the climate is fine, 4 it’s crap…although getting into the mountains and rain is snow. It’s good to get away for a week or two during the winter season.
