I don't know if Nanaimo is the best choice for the point you're trying to make. Yes, it is a smaller city (90,000) but it is directly linked to the Lower Mainland by two ferry routes. You can be in Victoria in less than two hours; in three hours you can be just about anywhere in Metro Vancouver. Plus, not everyone needs or wants everything that Vancouver offers. It is quite common now for people to live directly adjacent to Vancouver - such as in Burnaby or on the North Shore - and not have a need to go downtown very often, if at all.
