Vancouver Island is very nice (Campbell River is where I am and all the below is based on my city)...all the things you want very close to your home and a new house 1300 sq feet, with garage in a nice new neighbourhood would run you around $215,000.00+.
In C.R. it would be 20 min to diving over on Quadra Island, 25 min to Mt Washington, 20 min to a nice lake to swim and waterski, 30 min to a great place to camp and fish, hunting is just a short drive and there are all the good things about a small city here....plus we have reef shops within 1.5 hours.....and a couple shops in town with basic necessities for your tank.
We aren't booming as well right now with the mill shut down and commercial fishing and logging hitting rock bottom...however we are a city that in the end I believe will survive on small businesses.... Of course we have a hospital etc etc
