It is so unfortunate that Vancouver is the only major city with this mild climate. For me the climate is not the reason to live specifically in here and I wouldn't mind a tougher winter, but I do realieze it is The Reason for many to live here. For me it's the mountains and the closeness to nature that is the number one reason to live here and nowhere else.
But I can help to think how life in that 67th floor condo would be like. Pretty damn sweet, I bet.

There is nature and mountains all around Seattle and Portland and Eugene and Fresno and LA etc. and in between. The west coast has plenty to offer. The only difference between Vancouver and the rest of the west coast is immigration policies, banking practices and lower paying jobs. As for me I enjoy the nature here, I am out most weekends in the bush at the very least, but I can tell you I don't see anyone that is buying around me enjoying the nature as well. Actually I have no idea what they do or where they work. My point is there are plenty of nice places on the west coast, and around the world.
