I always find Vancouver to be pretentious, crowded, overdeveloped and generally lacking in any sort of charm.

As an ex-Vancouverite, I think it's more accurate to say that Victoria is a nice place to retire rather than a place to live (i.e., make a living).

Agreed. I live mid-island, which is much nicer than Victoria. However I wouldn't be able to live here if I didn't run my own business.
