Vancouver is a great place to make a fresh start. That is what I went there to do.
Beautiful mountains, ocean and lots of hot girls  
 
I had a blast there and I rented a 1 bedroom apartment overlooking the ocean for $1050 (Canuck) a month. I don't consider that much at all! Plus the webmaster community in Vancouver is really good and very active. Lots of people to meet and party with.   
 
Anyways good luck!
