This thread will likely apply to me in 5-7 years. I'll need a town where I can buy an equivalent but smaller home for 100,000 less than what I'll get for mine, allowing for a new truck and boat upon arrival.
A mortgage free person from Vancouver can go anywhere, but for everyone else, having debt in retirement is not an option so the nicer areas of Victoria are off the list.
Few have mentioned that the island is not that big. For someone who drives 10-12 hours to fish 2 and sometimes 3 days now, to get up at early and drive a few hours to wherever would be a easy. I do that now to catch and release trout.
