ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? Building a bunch of garish, overpriced hi-rise condos does not make a city great. What's your idea of culture? A night out in Yaletown? People move here for the weather/ocean/mountains, not the culture or nightlife. This is a sleepy seaside town for rich retirees and rich foreigners, neither of which rate culture very high on their list. Get your head out of your ass an take a trip to Montreal or New York, then you might understand what a cultural wasteland Vancouver really is. <p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-12957">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Comment by Dosh: "We are a cultural center like New York or London as much as some of the bears here hate to hear that."

Or just someone linking to your site? Please tell why 'prices are not so high'. Can you find a single property in vancouver that will cashflow on rental income, because I do believe that would be the standard measure of an 'investment' property. Otherwise you're just speculating on future gains. That's turned out badly for people buying in MANY other markets over the last year. <p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-10042">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> this is the best period to make up your mind and invest in that while the prices are not so high.
