Vancouver is fun. But it's not a city I'd recommend for "starting over". Real estate prices are insane and so is the traffic. Even if you can find a place that you can afford, it's really hard to see friends move away because they are looking for something quieter and more affordable -- a lot of my friends in their 30s and 40s have moved in the last few years. I'd look for a smaller city with lots of recreation opportunities, access to colleges and retraining opportunities, and a more close-knit community. Most of my friends have moved to Victoria and Duncan and they are loving it. Anyway, just my ramblings.

Take care.
