While Vancouver is VERY close to its international airport, it has one of the most INSANE housing and rental markets (in relation to local median income) on the planet.

Join me in BTV (Burlington, Vermont)!

• Two gyms within 30 minutes.
• Reliable internet (Burlington telecom advocates for net neutrality too!).
• Lone Rock (hard sport) 15 minutes. Bolton (some sport) 35 minutes. Rumney 1 hour. 
• 6th biggest lake in the US within walking distance.
• Long Trail nearby
• Green mountains nearby
• Adirondacks to the east
• White mountains to the west
• Montreal to the north
• Good climate
• Cool people
• Best gear shop in North America, probably the world (totally not biased).
• Level 1 trauma center.

Vancouver is not cheap in any way, shape, or form.

 Wow didn’t think anyone would take me serious if I wrote Hong Kong and Vancouver... OK not funny.. I can admit when I’m wrong. Besides unless you’re in Richmond or Surrey on a Sunday morning the airport takes 28 red lights and forever to get to. So Vancouver is not cheap or close to the airport.

I live in the city of Vancouver proper, and not near the airport.  As long as it is not rush hour I can get to the airport in 15-20 minutes and only have to go through about a dozen traffic lights.

It's funny how many people in this thread are just touting their own/home towns.  Albany?  Burlington?  Albuquerque?  lol.

I would tout my own town as an amazing climbing destination, except it's in one of the worst performing, least employable, highest obesity, worst drinking water, most Trump supporting states in the nation.  The climbing and whitewater are kind of cool, though.

Hmmm, I'll be the first to admit that Abq. is a hideous, crime ridden and economically depressed place. But, if you are looking for a cheap place with a good airport and a good amount of nearby year around climbing, why not?

Well, I'll be in Vermont in 2.5 hours.

Vegas - Oppressively hot during the summer, but climbable most of the winter...
I have one pal who "migrated" between Bishop and there fairly seasonally for a while.
Nice work if you can get it.

You're joking, right?

You got the Whites and Daks mixed up east/west

The coyote in Tucson love cats. We’ve had two cats go live with them... not a good place.

Don’t let your cats roam outside then.

Oh yeah. I was pretty tired at the time and didn't think anyone would take it seriously ;)
