Dude, while I'm with you, you gotta calm down… and I say this with real concern.

One point you bring up that's interesting… you seem to need "BC creds" to live in BC, in order to get a job or apartment…. which I found weird.

Hey Rob A., if you really are moving to Toronto, make sure to tell everyone there that downtown Vancouver is where the action is. After they get through laughing… well they'll laugh some more.

Seriously dude… good luck. You gotta move fast just to keep your feet in TO, and competition for work is crazy fierce. To's actually where all the immigrants who are smart, ambitious and well educated live, and you'll have to compete with all of them.

On the other hand there's way more to do, though admittedly it isn't nearly as pretty.

Good luck buddy… I kind of hope they don't chew you up and spit you out. Then again, I kind of do

Does anybody who makes those comments ever venture OUT of Vancouver? Or does the entire world consist of Vancouver's West end).

Aside from the scenery, Vancouver is a DUMP. And guess what, nobody who lives here had anything to do with creating the sea and mountains…SO STOP TAKING CREDIT FOR THEM! Vancouver has NO industry (try posting a resume…see how many responses you get from OUTSIDE BC), half an art gallery where the best thing is usually the TRAVELING exhibits, a stock market with training wheels, drivers who routinely run down pedestrians like dogs in the street, a real estate bubble who's bust is going to provide entertainment for years to come, a crime and drug problem so severe that it floats through the papers with barely a mention (and where innocent gas meter readers can get gunned down and nobody bats an eyelid – oh yeah, I forgot, it was a TARGETED SHOOTING- which I guess means the family of innocent bystanders who are killed in a hail of gunfire should remember).

I've been reading all these frigging post by Vancouver boosters, and they are either completely deluded, high, or on the take! Vancouver is a glorified lumber camp at the ass end of the universe! I don't care how many times you and your idiot friends tell each other (insert parrot sound effect here) "It's a world class city!!!!" IT'S NOT!! get over it!!

I remember specifically a few years ago stats being released that half of Vancouver rented and half owned

Not bashing Anonymous – just wondering where you picked up your numbers?

No kidding! And, yes probably $1.4M per… sales slogan goes something like: "Steps away from historic Chinatown"…"equipped with its own secured razor wire fence"

Those figures are from b.c.

Strange place for three houses, but I have seen them hold open houses, and I saw people coming and going.

Not sure what prices they are asking but I'm sure it's high.

I also thought the razor wire on top of the fences would be a turn-off to potential buyers.

Are those the Vancouver figures. They look more like the US figures to me. I think we have a lower percentage of owners here.
