I am going to be moving from Alberta to Metro Vancouver. Can anyone from around there advise on what areas are the least shitty? I currently live downtown in one of the big Alberta cities and I am tired of the homeless and drug addicts. I want to pick somewhere in BC that will be good to raise a family and low on crime.
I have been looking at Tsawwassen, Ladner, White Rock, North Vancouver. Are any of these places decent? Commute doesn’t really matter to me as I’ll work from home often. There is a chance I will be working either downtown or in south surrey. Any input is appreciated.
Not sure how often you'd need to go into downtown Van, but it's it's a fairly rare occurrence (like once or twice a month), have you thought of living somewhere on the Island? Not dirt cheap by any stretch, but cheaper than the Lower Mainland.
I would need to go at least a couple of times per week. I don’t know if I could rely on a ferry as part of my commute.
Fair enough. There are people that do it a couple times per week, but it's expensive and time consuming. Couple times per month sure, but not every week.
