10 Hard Truths I Wish I Knew Before Moving to Vancouver (2026 Edition)

Описание: 10 Hard Truths I Wish I Knew Before Moving to Vancouver (2026 Edition)

We're separating the "Vancouver Dream" vs. The Reality Check (Watch Before You Move) in this video.

Everyone tells you about the mountains and the ocean. No one talks about the gas prices, the "Strata" reality, or why you probably won't own a detached house here.

If you are planning a move to Vancouver in 2026, you need to look past the postcards. In this video, I’m breaking down the 10 harsh realities (and hidden benefits) that catch new residents off guard—especially if you're coming from Toronto or the US.

We aren't just talking about the rain. We're talking about the financial and lifestyle shocks that hit most families in their first 12 months.
We’re covering:

The "House" Myth: Why 80% of us live in stratas (and why that might actually be better for your lifestyle).

The "Pump" Shock: Gas is expensive, but do you even need a car? The data on car-free living in 2026 might surprise you.

The Social "Freeze": Why making friends here is harder than in Calgary, and how to hack the "Vancouver Freeze."

The "Cost" Reality: Yes, it’s expensive. But is it worth it? We look at the "Value of Life" equation that keeps us here.

Don't move here until you know what you are signing up for!
