Is the cost of living in Vancouver high?

"The cost of living in Vancouver is generally considered to be high. Rent prices are particularly expensive, with the average one-bedroom apartment costing around $1,800 per month. Groceries and other everyday items are also more expensive than in other parts of Canada. Transportation costs are also relatively high, with monthly transit passes costing around $100. However, Vancouver is known for its high quality of life, and many people find that the cost of living is worth it," remarked another expat who made the move to Vancouver, Canada.
