Where I am now, nearish to central Vancouver. I'd love to live in other places for some time for other reasons, but they're all cities in Europe with different ages and cultures. Smaller places are great to visit, but are boring and lack breadth of novelty. It takes me 4 mins to walk to the gym where I bump into people I'm gradually getting to know, then 2 mins to the next cafe where I might get to know someone, then 2 mins to groceries, 30 mins to the mountains, 2 hrs to whistler if I can get a car or bus.

If you have enough means to consider the concept of home ownership, you have different issues than me, but you're not the first to consider leaving for that reason. I like my neighborhood a lot and would be sad to leave it. Have lived in other areas though that I wasn't so attached to.
