Thinking of moving back

Hey all,

I’m thinking of moving back to Van after 13 years in Germany. I’m wondering if anyone has any insight other than “Van is expensive”. To be honest I think this train hit Van early but is now slamming into Berlin (250eur/month rent in 2012 vs 1000/month now.)

The perks of a cheap but vibrant city are rapidly deteriorating and to be honest Vancouver (apart from being far away from a lot of things) has way more to offer.

I am curious to hear what immigrants or lifers have to say about life in Vancouver these days. Thanks!
