Your happiness radiates!! 🎉 Absolutely love this video! Couldn't agree more that the lifestyle in Calgary has everyday mental and physical health benefits in comparison to the GTA. The mountains absolutely dissolve stress and promote physical health and are only as far away as your old GTA commute to work. Can't wait for some summer hiking highlights! Speaking of commuting, maybe your viewers would be interested to learn about the 15+ skywalk system. I walk on it everyday to work and I get lots of exercise and can move across the downtown on indoor bridges without being exposed to winter elements. I really love it. Keep up the great videos and congratulations on manifesting a great new chapter. Awesome job. Yay Calgary!!

I wonder how a Calgary move would pan out for someone from Vancouver. I had been to Toronto recently and found Vancouver to be more captivating.

ToronTo

Calgarian is way more chill and classic. People are much nicer.

aside from increasing COL which is an issue everywhere, the only crappy thing about Calgary, is not owning a car. Also, not a walking city. Too much sprawl and drivers are a holes. Not pedestrian friendly. Moving forward though, water shortages will be a huge issue in the next years. For all of Alberta in fact. Warmer winters, hotter summers, less snowfalls and less rain are contributing to the problem. Having said that, I’d rather be here than anywhere else in Canada.

everyone here in toronto hustling and all do sound angry. It's a no chill city

Born in Calgary and moved to Toronto in 2012. Just moved back to Calgary in November for pretty much the exact same reasons as you. Even though there are a lot of things to do out there, my partner and I would either just end up staying home or her and I would go to the occasional show or restaurant like once a month. So in that way it was easy to feel kinda isolated out there amongst so many people. Maybe I just outgrew that phase of my life. But now that I’m back I’m finding I’m more social with the friends and family I’ve had since before I moved and am eyeing looking at home ownership in the spring too. Long term condo living just wasn’t for me. Especially with those prices and comparing to what you can get out here for the equivalent.

waiting for your next update, how you got away from the calgary snow and winter for your mental health

I don't think I've ever desired to live in Toronto. Calgary is a great city. Born and raised here. So many opportunities for a sense of community through hobbies. It's easy to find like-minded people. There's enough things to do and restaurants to go to. Enough festivals. Calgary isn't perfect in every way but quality of life is pretty good.

Wife and I moved from Toronto to Calgary a couple years back.... You don't move to Calgary for the city lol it's such a sketchy city, so many sketchy people and places I've had more stuff stolen and robbed from me here in three years than I did in 10 years in Toronto. Calgary drivers are so much worse, if theres a day that Deerfoot/Glenmore isn't closed down for a wreck let me know. But yeah the mountains and my job are why we came here, certainly not the city lol

Buying a home or condo means no letter under the door that fills you with dread on what the rent increase will be. If you can, buy. The peaceful feeling is amazing. I control my mortgage. I've broken 3 mortgage loans for better ones. The last was to fixed in fall 2021 at 2.29. If you buy you need to read the financial news. Watch for words like the concern of inflation. If you see that move like the wind to lock everything down. Electric, gas, mortgage etc. And tell your condo board to do the same. "Concern of inflation" notice means inflation is arriving in financial speak.

Calgary lol no jobs, no life, no good weather ...... shit hole

Frank! Glad your mental health is improving since moving; That's what's most important. At least its sunny and -20! 🥶 Keep warm bud and hope to catch you around the city!

It would be fun if you made a dedicated video about commuting in Calgary. Maybe showing us a typical commute but car, transit and biking, How long it takes during rush hour and what the vibes are like. The visuals would be so interesting to see

Keep on going down your path! Loving hearing how you feel about being back in Calgary

I'm burned out just watching this video.

Wow I'm really surprised! The winters look much nicer than they are here in Ottawa!

Calgary is also getting expensive, but the difference is atleast the adjacent communities (Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks) seem to be florishing. I just wish it wasn't so car dependent.

Happiness ↑. Stress ↓. Living in a spacious, affordable city surrounded by exquisite natural beauty. Now that's a recipe for success! I'm delighted that your move to Calgary has been so positively transformative. Wishing you much continued joy in your new home. Thanks for sharing your inspirational story. 👍

I am planning to move to Calgary in Spring from Saskatoon. The mountains are atleast about an hour drive from Calgary though, right? I am hoping to buy there after a few months, but single detached houses are getting pricier there too.

How's everyone doing?

Hey! Sorry for the question... this year Im going to move in Calgary with my boyfriend and we are so excited! we really like the city, we see it as a mix of a big city and a quiet city. but we read a lot of "disheartening" things around, they say it's very boring, is it true? we chose it voluntarily...

Lol I think you like Calgary! I moved out of Toronto too but I moved to Vancouver and loved it!

As someone who grew up in the GTA, I can say your dollar goes waaaay further out here. I bought a pretty much new detached house with a 2-car garage that's a 20 minute drive to downtown Calgary for $625k a few months ago. Would probably cost me close to $2M for something equivalent that's that close to downtown Toronto

Sorry but 17 Ave SW is living on it's past glory. It's nothing like it was 20 years ago. 4 St SW is better for restaurants these days. Nothing has taken up the old party atmosphere. Calgary is dead that way.

Both are terrible cities to live in!

Coco milk tea ftw!

Great video. What would be typical monthly HOA fees for the third unit?

I’m scared for February, it was super mild last year until then. It became -50 almost 😭😭 every year is so different! Good video Frank ☺️

Collab!!? Hahahahah

Hi I'm not sure why 17th is your center point as it's pretty boring. It was much better 30 years ago but now it's just living in it's past reputation

Hey Frank! Local Calgarian here and i did not know the Alley in Chinatown isn't there anymore! :O But i know it's still in malls like Crossiron Mills and Chinook i believe

Great video, Frank! Pretty sweet getting an on-the-ground look at Calgary. It’s a pretty nice looking city and I’m looking forward to visiting for myself.

Hey Frank thanks for this informative vid. I also plan to make the move from Toronto to Calgary this year. I'm curious which company did you use to haul your car and how was that experience like? Also, how did you move your dog as well? Was the airline accommodating to having a dog on the plane vs cargo etc. thanks!

Loved this walking tour of downtown. Thanks for introducing me to the sights and the stores. Calgary looks like a very inviting place to live on many levels, and I'm glad that the current winter temperatures aren't too cold. The view of the city from Crescent Heights was stunning. I'll look forward to watching more of your casual videos as you explore the lifestyle of Calgary. 👍

I am planning to move to Calgary in March! Good luck to me! lol

Great video Frank! I feel like our city is getting progressively warmer in the winter each year but to be honest I prefer it the cold sucks

Thats an absolutely a beautiful skyline too

The sun is a game changer! Sunny days really liven up the mood

Hi!

Being a Canadian sharecropper, really sucks, working to pay taxes to the govt and rent to your landlord. Lower your expectations in life, we have a Trudeau Liberal/NDP govt.

I remember it costed $22 back in like 2018 and it was already pricey

Great video. Wishing you much success in beautiful Calgary! 👍

To "save" Toronto ( it's probably too late" } we need to have the provincial government and all of its jobs to move elsewhere in Ontario - health to Hamilton, finance to London, head office to Huntsville, etc. We need also to force most head offices out of Toronto to Hamilton., Kingston, Cornwall or Sarnia. Not only will it save Toronto, but the rest of the province.

Get out of the madhouse!!!

Great listing Frank! Glad to see you rockin' it in Calgary. Looking forward to more great content and vlogs! Calgary 2025....pump it up!! 🎉

April 1st they are increasing the prices again

1.7 million people in Calgary now. I remember when it had 0.7 million.

Is Calgary really noticeably warmer than Winnipeg in winter? I live in Manitoba

👍
