I have the major mad love for Vancouver but could never afford such silliness. I visited a friend there once when I was in college - he had lived there his whole life and it was such a part of him and his mom, and they were both so awesome, and it was so pretty, and and and.
London is not beautiful like Vancouver. It is just your regular little college town. I like the college town atmosphere. It can be conservative. But conservative in Canada is not like conservative in the US. There is a bit of a queer women type community here. It's small but big too - if you know what I mean. The cost of living here is nice too. Places like Vancouver and Toronto - while way cool to live there - not so cool when it comes to house buying and whatnot.
You all are welcome to visit anytime - I think we'd have fun.
Oh yeah, Vancouver and Toronto are like Boston and New York and San Francisco for me - I love them but I could never even think about living there and raising a family. Not unless I won the lottery. ;)
I like college towns, too. I like the transient youth and the energy and the big-town-small-town feel. We live in a college town right now (well a town over from a college town) and it's nice. And affordable. And nice. I can dig it.
I think the four of us and our two girls should just have some sort of commune thing going on. We could work out the child care and the working and the housework and the cooking and just have a chill old time with our little village raising our kids.

I have never been to London.
