Yeay, and I'm off looking at the sailing boats from the shore being glad I dont have the moorage, repair bills, maintainance, fuel bills, tax?.. just sit on the beach with my cuppa tea and snacks watch the boats, the clouds, watch the waves and can leave any time I like, just like renting! My sailing is only costing..$2 max. Ok..a little cheeky.

The old man will have to pay a big rent hike next year, to the max. Anyhow, he's lost out. He should've refinanced and taken out a loan to load up another condo instead like every other rich man. Poor sucker's going to regret renting for the rest of his old retired miserable life.

"People that live in the city don’t generally buy pick ups" Maybe they're "Urban Cowboys" from Yaletown?

Boombust: #79 BB, C'mon 'Clayton Heights', Jesus man what are you smoking. ' Guildford' , ' Fraser Heights ', ' Cloverdale'??????? Why have you left out Newtons 'Chimney Heights' and North Delta 'Brown Town?' You don't choose to live in those places, you are forced to move there because you can't afford anywhere else. Hermano, 4000 sq ft of sewer front is still living in a sewer. If I wanted to live like a refugee in the country I grew up in though, thats exactly where I'd go to slide right down to the very bottom of the barrel. The people who try to fool themselves into moving 'Morgan Creek' etc are really just saying " I'm a pretentious asshole who can't really afford to live anywhere else'. Do they really think they're fooling anyone? But 'Clayton Heights' .... with all those buck toothed yahoos and the yard fulls of squealing piglets, yapping fatties and secret gay boy husbands in their pick up trucks bald heads and cheesy goatees are not my cup of tea. Not in this life time amigo!!!!!! I had a chum in the recording biz who was living downtown in a place that had a view of the gay stroll, where the young boys ply their wares. I went over there one day at his insistence because he said there was a zoo that I had to see for myself to believe. At about 5:30 we went out on the balcony and watched pick up truck after pick up truck picking up the gay boys on the stroll. The guys in the trucks were all obviously husbands and fathers from Surrey. You could see they had kids toys and lawn equipment etcetera in the back while they hustled off into the lanes to get thier freak on with some goofy hooker boy. Sheeeeesh ! These are the same bald, stupid goateed dipshits that you see out in the neighbourhoods of Clayton Heights, Cloverdale, Fraser Heights Morgan Heights etc as you've mentioned. The reason you know these bozo's are from Surrey and the Valley is that no one else drives pick ups in that number. People that live in the city don't generally buy pick ups, thats a 'dip shit in the valley' thing. Thats another one of the many reasons I would not want to live in 'The Sewer'. The people are such scum. Why they need a little boy and a pick up truck is way too weird to contemplate. Theres a reason real estate is cheaper out there in the hinterlands. Its also cheaper in Spuzzum. People out there haven't cottoned on to secret 'deal'!!!!!! The people in that video were exactly the type of people who infest ALL of Surrey. It is really a shithole of BIBLICAL proportions.

#87, nice article, there's another millionaire just like that. People like the old man can afford to fork up rent, and there are people with millions to take over the old man's house, poor man will regret it when his house rockets to 3 million and he'll be renting for 8000 a month next year.

You're right, nobody gets rich renting in Vancouver. But we do get rich from buying and flipping the houses. For example, buy in the Winter, unload in the summer. This is the easiest way I've ever made money and I will continue to play this game with my spare change.

Supraboy: What don't you understand ? Banks almost always make money on the spread , they tend to make record profits when times are bad for the rest of us. Apparently they have been in the markets as well, driving that bogus crap The CMHC will back them up when their mortgages go South. Legalized theft. PS stop your "bum" fetish.
