Born and raised in the Okanagan. Left the Okanagan in 2000, lived in Van for 19 years, moved back to the Okanagan because of how fast Vancouver grew and hoping to recreate my childhood by moving back and enjoy a slower pace of life. Well that was not the case, crime per capita is the highest in the country, Too many people with the lack of infrastructure to support, not to mention the threat of fires every summer. And unless you are into wineries and own a boat to be on the lake, there is not alot to do as far as entertainment. We were able to tolerate 2 years, and made the leap to Alberta. Best move we ever made, wish we did it sooner.
I hope you enjoy those -30 winter days. (former Edmontonian here).
Where in Alberta did you move to?
Only albertans can afford lakeshore, they bought it all up years ago. :(
@@briandriscoll1480 -30 , -40... NOT..... BC is the place. lol
I am in Penticton and was outreach worker on the coast. Homelessness is the same issue. We generally see the folks wanting to take advantage of free things and not serious about getting real help. Their camps are generally an eyesore but remember this, The cities did not create this, our govt. did. I recently got back from Vancouver which is at least 10 times worse.
Agreed John!
That's true government causes housing issues high taxes high food prices . And it's all down hill from there the spiral. Substance abuse depression different substance abuses . Once people try meth or fentanyl it massive degradation on living standards .
last time I was in Kelowna it was one of the safest cleanest cities in the world... man i miss them days and blue sky's.
It has it's areas for sure like most cities, but I find it VERY safe still!
Traffic is hellacious. And no relief is possible
Everyone talks about inflation, how about corporate greed.
Reading some comments impresses me a lot... I am from Mexico and I tell you honestly, the quality of life they have there is very good and the problem of crime and homeless is nothing. Security is unreal and incomparable 😅
(Personal opinion) Value what you have 🙏🏻
@@danielals121 trust me when I say I totally agree with this! I still find it that so many people complain about such a beautiful place! Thank you for this!
@@LIVINGINKELOWNABRITISHCOLUMBIA That's how it is! I look forward to moving soon to start my studies at UBCO 🙏🏻🙂↕️
@@danielals121 that's awesome please reach out if there is ever anything I can help you out with!
Yes! Everything has gone up!
How can 2 drinks 2 sets of fries and 4 burgers cost $50 at A&W? It’s a joke!
@@firstpersonforestry3762 amen!
I can't disagree. I live in West Kelowna after living in Kelowna for 20 years and love it. The back country is so accesable my quad has a garage door opener. 1 hr drive to amazing emerald green lakes like Kentucky and killer fishing like Pynask. Thought of moving to other towns in the interior but they're all dumpy , no cultures and good luck finding a decent contractor to do anything. Kelowna is 15 minutes away but you can still jump on your bike and do everything.
Totally! Very fortunate to live in a place like this!
Petty crime is more than annoying and usually goes with hard drug use, no thanks
Fair enough!
BC = Bring Cash. 🤷♂️
You must watch my videos lol I probably say this every second one!
Great video. 👍 Coming from South Africa, we are planning to move to Kelowna next year. Honestly, everything you’ve mentioned is way worse in South Africa, taxes are insane, the homeless population is majority of our population. Except for the wild fires, we pretty much have it much worse here. Looking forward to coming that side and hoping to make some friends!
@@nicolebenson4517 very interesting to hear. And yeah don’t let this video scare you in anyway! It’s meant to be informative for people unfamiliar with the area. The Okanagan is incredibly beautiful and a fantastic place to live still!
@@LIVINGINKELOWNABRITISHCOLUMBIA It’s good to know drawbacks as-well as positives. Looking forward to
living there!
@@nicolebenson4517 You will enjoy it here. Been to Capetown a couple of times. Beautiful, but crime and corruption are horrendous. Our problems are all created by our govts, federal and provincial. It could be the closest thing to paradise were it not for them.
Cranbrook bc used to be sunny in the winter along with the cold. However, since the chemtrails /global dimming it is usually grey also.
Chemtrails my ass.
@@ArmyJames one day you will wake from your slumber. Maybe you are too young to remember REAL blue skies. One day you will find out that ignorance is not bliss.
@@trevorgadd8491 Oh yeah, you’ve got all the answers, with your tinfoil hat. lol
@@ArmyJames geo engineering watch . o . r. g.
I think the only dimming is the light between your ears, Trevor.
I live in Kelowna and love it, but the bus service is terrible. I do not drive.
Nice to see someone finally say they love it lol and yeah I’ve heard there’s a lot of room for improvement
Great video, you answered a lot of my biggest questions. I've lived in Abbotsford and Regina. I feel like Kelowna is a great middle ground. I hadn't realized that the winters were that gray. I hated that about the lower mainland but low wind and mild winters sound like a decent tradeoff. Hopefully, they can get the homeless / drug issues sorted out.
Thanks Dustin appreciate it. And Yes it's an amazing place to live, but it comes with it's issues just like everywhere!
I grew up in Burnaby, lived 18 years in Edmonton. In Kelowna for the past 17 years. Weather and liveability definitely beat Lower Mainland. Much easier access to outdoor activities as well as other parts of BC excepting only the Island. Yes it's crowded but less so than LM.
Wait a sec. I DO NOT want more people here. So I take back all of the above.
@@briandriscoll1480😂 Love to hear it Brian!
I once visited Kelowna. The country side around it is nice but the city itself seemed too overcrowded and too much traffic for my liking.
@@johnmark2441 it can definitely get busy here in the summer!
. Left kelowna in 22 couldn't do it any more. Too cold in winter too hot in summer. Lake was cold for swimming.. kelowna Is over rated.
Interesting where did you end up going if Kelowna was too cold in the winter???
Same sentiment here!
19:04 I reather have the rain and cooler weather and hopefully no bad wildfires in the Okanagan Valley
Agreed! 25 is plenty hot for me lol
20:58 I'm glad to see West Kelowna starting to get more stores too!!!
Yeah I feel like they have tons of great amenities now!
Looks like a giant strip mall now.
24:00 there is some construction on Boucherie Rd in West Kelowna and there's some delays until June 22
Yeah that's where I believe the majority of it is
One of the cloudiest cities in Canada in the winter.
That is not the case in much of western Canada
I disagree, Nakusp sits in the clouds for 8 months of the year.
@@WaningGibbous Nakusp has less than 2000 people.
You change of leadership. Mr.Pierre will doing great Leadership for all Canadian
Canadian need to vote for Mr.Pierre
Hmmm. Maybe. Hope you are right.
Way better than Trudeau
Vancouver and Edmonton are shipping their homeless here. They were caught red handed putting them on buses.
I'm from Van and live in Edmonton and no they aren't shipping people from Edmonton. If you haven't been keeping up on current events the whole world is suffering from a houselessness crisis including Canada. There is no place that is immune to people on the street and this is a crime for the richest nation on the planet.
@@deeejayeee They asked one of the homeless people where he was from and he stated that he had come from Edmonton, he was provided the bus ticket and a bit of money for his trip. Are you familiar with the Journey Home program? There is quite a bit of information and resources through them.
@@markhoffman I used to work for social services and the only thing they would help with would be a return trip back to your community. This is a completely different statement than, 'shipping their homeless here'. In other words, they aren't gonna send you somewhere you aren't from because you would have no family or support system there to help and it would be just moving the problem to another location. Our big cities have far more resources, jobs and safety nets to help the poor than a small place like Kelowna which is why the poor end up in large cities. As I said before, the housing crisis started with our current leadership in Canada and today there are encampment everywhere...not just big cities.
@@deeejayeee I think everyone can agree on the issues with our current leadership...
You're full of s***.
Three (3) out and two (2) in on the bridge.
I’m over OK. Kootneys is too hard for homeless. No resources on the Kootneys.💁🏼♀️
I suggest joining the Legion if you want a great social network.
@@gregoryglen4811 love the legion!
21:41 there's some construction in West Kelowna!!!
For sure, I just find Kelowna is just much more unforgiving when there is work being done
Love this
If you love constant traffic congestion and traffic lights move to Kelowna. The Okanogan is not for me
28:16 it was a crazy heat dome and It was 57 to 60⁰C 120⁰F in Kelowna hopefully It doesn't happen again
Yes, hopefully we don't see that again!
That's some crazy exaggeration. The record heat in Canada was 49.5C in Lytton on June 29 during the heat dome, and Kelowna topped out at 45.6C. Although yes...that's wayyyy too hot.
Did you take the temperatures in the direct sun about 2 feet above black asphalt?
Wrong. BCs highest temp was Lytton 49.6 C and we are the only province to have our record high on this side of WW2
You wont, because it never happened. Kelownas record high temp was 44.6 C
Kelowna = Bumtown.
Sorry but it’s true.
And people pay a premium to live there. It was a much nicer place over a decade ago.
Definitely disagree haha, but if thats your opinion 👍
@@LIVINGINKELOWNABRITISHCOLUMBIA You can disagree all you want. Fact is that Kelowna is a very expensive town. I'm not speaking from ignorance, I visit often and have quite a bit of family there. So it's not just my opinion but probably 20 people that have lived there since the 1980's.
Also it was much nicer more than 10 years ago. Less developed, less busy and more connected to the surrounding beauty. I think you must be delusional or high.
YMMV
@@quintonmacdougall7150 not sure what’s delusional about living where I live and thinking Kelowna is a beautiful and great place to live. Pretty sure I’m in the VAST majority, but it is BC…maybe we’re all just high 😂
I spend more time in Penticton Naramata hill side. Or Vernon going to the mountains. Not alot of reason for me to goto Kelowna.
Kvr trail. Tourist abuse trail..😎
It's very sad to see the homelessness in Kelowna and West Kelowna
Absolutely, it's such a complex issue and I wish I had better solutions!
It's everywhere sad to say. We can ease the suffering in little ways....a meal, a blanket, an ear, a smile, a Tim Hortons gift certificate, a jacket and share the love of Jesus and way of salvation.
@@user-gh6jb1sv3xwhy is it a suffering? I thought most people in camping tent cities are there cuz they choose to spend their welfare on drugs instead of rent. Newcomer s to Canada work hard and share apartments while they save money and support their families.
Bus system over an hour
Yeah I’ve heard it needs improvement for sure!
Coming from the island. all of these complaints just seem like daily life. lol... at least you have lots of space around you to go adventuring.
Totally and trust me I don't want it to feel like I'm "complaining" about it, but I'm trying to pick apart a place that I love living in which is hard enough. Just want anyone coming this way to have their eyes wide open. I think Kelowna is amazing and I choose to live here for a reason!
City of Kelowna and it's airport are poorly managed.
