Folks working in tech companies in Vancouver. Where do people usually stay? I'm relocating to Vancouver soon and was wondering where to pick a place so that I can also figure if it is worth buying a house there in the future. Downtown Vancouver is too expensive Surrey is OK, but I've heard about gang violence there. Other choices are Port Moody, Port coquitlam, West Minister and maybe Burnabey. TC: 450 CAD #canada #vancouver #misc
North Van is a good option too, lots of my coworker lives there and you can take seabus
Avoid Surrey. Port Moody is lovely and quiet, kind of like a retirement place if you're into that, however, you do need to take a commuter train to work (30 min ish). Port Coquitlam you take the same train, just further. Unless cost is an issue, I would pick somewhere closer. New West isnt great, very old and I think youll be better off elsewhere. Burnaby is huge, it's located centrally so it's relatively easy to get to anywhere, but I just hate city planning in Burnaby.
New west ain’t so bad. Might feel a bit old as you see a bit more older population, but still relatively close to downtown by skytrain, great water-view of the fraser river. I’d say burnaby or new west based on location and affordability
Port Moody is awesome. Yaletown light. However, i’d only consider the new townhouses or condos. Detached homes there are old and not that nice
Check out south surrey if you have kids, ocean park and crescent beach are very nice.
When I said no surrey I should've excluded south Surrey. That place is infact a gem
Do you need to commute to downtown?
Not until covid ends. So not intol july 2021
Not until covid ends
Burnaby is probably my favorite city in Vancouver. Just be near the SkyTrain. Good food everywhere!
May I ask why you have decided to move? By any chance, don't you have your green card?

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
