Supergirl

Supergirl Lives - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: As they are fleeing the alien base, Supergirl and the others run towards the portal, Winn activates it and jumps through. In a following shot (after a 'friendly' alien helps them), he is standing behind Supergirl again. (00:32:00 - 00:32:35)

Alex - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: Rick Malverne has handcuffs on when J'onn goes in as his dad. When he figures out it was J'onn, he tells them they have "23 hours and 14 minutes," looks at his watch and the cuffs are gone. (00:21:30 - 00:25:00)

Medusa - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: Maggie comes to Alex's apartment with pizza. When Alex opens and closes the pizza box, she folds the pizza box edges in and 3 shots later the edges are outside of the box.

Homecoming - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: In the scene at the end where Mon-El goes to Kara's to try and console her, right after he sits down and she shifts to lean on him the blanket falls off her shoulder, but in the next shot it's covering her once again. (00:40:35)

Changing - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Mike and Kara are in the alien bar in the both talking about Mike not controlling his powers. When Mike breaks the glass there is no other glass on the table. In the next shot a glass appears at the edge of the table, in the next shot the glass is gone again. (00:03:30)

Survivors - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When J'onn J'onzz is fighting Miss Martian in the ring, she punches him into a wall, leaving a massive dent. She missed the next punch, and the plaster on the right hand side of the dent falls out, but the plaster on the left is fine. Miss Martian then throws J'onn across the room, and in the background, the dent is visible, but it is now the left hand side of the dent where the plastering is missing and the plastering on the right is now mostly in place.

Far from the Tree - S3-E3

Other mistake: During an argument, Maggie's father mentions the border wall being built to keep people from entering the country illegally. This is obviously a reference to the real-life presidency of Donald Trump, but within the show's continuity, his comment doesn't make sense: in "Resist", the penultimate episode of season two, it's revealed that President Olivia Marsdin is literally an alien from outer space, and earlier in the season in "Welcome to Earth", she signed an executive order offering aliens such as herself full citizenship if they so desired it. If she's that tolerant of extraterrestrials, it seems unlikely that she'd be so intolerant of foreign immigrants as to resort to such an extreme action in foreign policy like building a wall on the border.

Midvale - S3-E6

Kara: If you're so worried about my driving, why didn't you say anything yesterday?
Alex: Because yesterday, getting into an accident didn't seem like a big deal. Today, I would like to avoid it.
Kara: Progress.

Answer: For one, it's usually cheaper to film in Vancouver because of the tax breaks. But all the CW Arrowverse shows (with the exception of "Black Lighting") are/were filmed in Vancouver. So it makes it easier and cheaper for sharing set designs, crossovers, etc ("Black Lightning" filmed in Vancouver during its crossover). Originally "Supergirl" wasn't part of the Arrowverse when it was on CBS, but it was too expensive to produce and wasn't reaching the wider audience the CW shows had. So CBS moved it to its sister company, The CW.
