It is expensive. And I don't leave it anywhere in _Vancouver_ out of sight and locked, really.
But, I live across the bridge in North Vancouver, which is... less theft prone. Certainly not immune to bike theft, but with reasonable precautions (decent lock, lock it smart places, etc), I'm comfortable enough for a lot of errands. I do have to think about what end-of-trip amenities look like on the far end, but it's usually ok around here.
