we need to ensure we have a
high quality of life, because
we know that many of these
jobs are mobile and they can
be done from anywhere."
For Goodhew and his
now-"ancée, Reid, living in
Kelowna means that, unlike
in the Bay Area or Vancouver,
they can actually a¢ord real
estate. This past July—almost
two years after moving to
Kelowna from their cramped
Kitsilano apartment—the cou-
ple bought a two-bedroom
bungalow, steps from the
beach where they spent sum-
mer weekends with a new
boat. There's even a taste of
their former big-city life in
Kelowna, says Goodhew:
"There are these new restau-
rants coming in, new brewer-
ies. It reminds me of Kits, of
Main Street, of Commercial
Drive."
