Relocating to anytown British Columbia

It's expensive everywhere here. Chinese are buying out Vancouver and old white folks are moving into the smaller towns all over the region and with that dragging the property prices up everywhere.

How are you going to fund yourself? There's a lot of places in the region that are great but don't have much going on. If you have some passive income I can recommend a few spots.

If you need a job then I suggest the suburbs of Victoria. They're often ranked among the best places to live in the entire country.

except work might be a challenge I guess.. unless you have good work ethic and like being outside.

the only real cheap places in bc are former industry towns where there's an excess of housing, otherwise they restrict development so housing is expensive, if you really want budget port alberni or kimberley

for towns on the coast, nanaimo, comox valley, campbell river, duncan
employers pay less and cost of living is higher

'good weather' isn't entirely true, it's just humid a bit above freezing and cloudy

elk valley (fernie, sparwood) is pretty good for budget and work, only problem is if you don't like skiing 15 feet of snow is bad

I'd rather snow then constant rain and sleet.

The best part of BC isn't what you're going to do for work or w/e it's what do you want to do in your free time? Choose which place to live depending on what will be around you. I'd say think about what qualitative things you want in your life and find the town which best reflects that. Each has it's own character. Squamish is great if you're a climber for instance, Tofino or Uqualletieze if you're a surfer. Prince Rupert if you're a red neck.
