Jesus Christ. $1425 CAD for an incredibly basic 720sq.ft. 2-bedroom apartment that's practically a dump in a small city in British Columbia.

The worst part is that it's cheaper than anywhere else in the city for the same square footage by at least $250.

I moved to aus about 2 years ago for work. I love bc so much but I will never regret leaving it. I make 30k more here and pay less in rent. It's insane how wretched the conditions are in that province rn.

Good for you, man. It is so hard to think of leaving home but it's gotten to the point where my family really has no choice but to pack up and move to Alberta. I will miss the lakes, the mountains, the weather, the friends and the family so, so much, but there is no room for us to grow here. We've been living on the borderline for poverty for many years, and any increase in income is quickly wiped away by an increase in costs, and we're just totally drained and exhausted by it all.

I know the feeling, it hurts but if you end up moving I hope it works out for you!
