I'm beginning to consider moving to Canada. I probably won't, but given that we're talking about buying a house anyway and the US is kind of not great, if somehow Trump wins I'm strongly considering leaving.
Looking on Zillow, there are a bunch of massive beautiful homes in Surrey, a suburb of Vancouver, but it appears to be somewhat crime-ridden. I didn't know any of Canada was. But looking deeper, it seems like it's crime-ridden by Canada standards, and I can't tell what I should actually think of it - is it like East Palo Alto, which is a fairly poor place that is rapidly gentrifying due to demand from the rest of Silicon Valley, or are these nice homes just the beginning of trying to do that? Is racism a thing there? I've heard about problems with indigenous people being abused, but would it be a problem to have a Black wife there?
