My company is now “remote-first“ and allows me to work from anywhere in the US. My fiancé and I got tired of the traffic in the Bay Area and the inconvenience of needing to drive or Uber for 20-60 minutes to go a couple miles. Also, the homeless epidemic has been an issue for a while now and there are no signs of relief, so I’d like to live somewhere cleaner, safer, and more accessible. Eventually we’ll want a family and child care in SF is exorbitant as well as the housing prices—buying? Out of the question, renting? A family can’t fit in 750 square feet.

Despite Canada doing somewhat better than the US now, I can't see how I can have a workable lifestyle at my apartment in Toronto. Especially if there's a second wave. I'm saving money by going back to my parents, while I plan where my next move will be. I'm seriously considering Victoria BC, given their mild climate. For things like outdoor activities, exercising year-round (no indoor gyms for me), eating at patios with friends in the winter-- a nicer climate seems like the best hope of regaining normalcy.

I was in the states to get engaged to my American boyfriend, in NJ. Things didn’t go as quickly as I had expected. Came home on February 20th, 3 weeks later Canada started closing the country down. I have never looked back. I narrowly escaped being in the epicentre of your first huge outbreak. In Canada, I am moving from a small town to a big city next week. We had zero new cases in Ottawa yesterday. Life here is different but not unbearable.
