Well, I'm going to vote for Vancouver Island - partway up near the Parksville area. Mountains, trees (big one too), rocks, beaches, Salish Sea (calmer), Pacific Ocean (not so calm sometimes), some wildlife (more Bald Eagles than you can hope to count and the highest cougar population in the world. The cost of living is less than the Vancouver area (read as: City), and for all intents and purposes, NO traffic (based upon 40 years in the City).
Problem is, there's a lot of old people here... (it's OK, I can say that. I'm one of them)
