Oh, the whole being paid more than twice what you would get in Canada for the same job (plus a benefits package that means you get as good health care and usually better dental and vision converage) while all consumer goods being cheaper, fuel being cheaper, car/home insurance being cheaper, while real estate only being Calgary levels of expensive is pretty nice. Then there's the winters were you might, just might, contemplate wearing a long sleeved shirt in the evenings because it might get down to 12 C at some points, maybe a bit lower if you're more inland.

Oh, and not having to deal with the constantly snobbish attitude of British Columbians. That's really nice. In the couple of years I've lived in SoCal I quite literally have never met a single person as up themselves about their city or California in general as the average British Columbian I knew when I lived in Vancouver and their "The Best Place On Earth" attitude.
