Can someone live in Vancouver or at least its suburbs, not make six figures and live comfortably and safely? Is this even possible or is Vancouver a city of 'haves' and 'have nots'?

Yes, you would have to rent, though. Possibly with a roommate.
It's possible the further out you go like Langley or Maple Ridge.
It can be done but the options are very few and having just a middle class income bares you from owning any home that would house even one child. You would also have to buy in a probably less than desireable area but again depends greatly on where you work.
As far as "have and havenots.......yes that is what Vancouver has become. Vanocuver has the largest gap in income between the rich and the poor in the country, the highest child poverty rate, the lowest 2 postal income districts in the country, the most indebted with both regular and mortgage debt, and BC over all has the highest rate of poverty. It is also not just housing but EVERYTHING in Vancouver is more expensive than the rest of the country yet of Canada's largest 6 metros, Vancouver has the second lowest medien incomes only bettering Montreal where a home is litterally one-third the price.
