#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.

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.

no one gets rich renting to people in Van unless they bought a long time ago – as rentals are so comparatively cheap (comparative with RE prices).

TD hit another 52 week high. So did royal bank. What part of that don’t some of you understand? If there will be a crash coming, stocks wouldn’t be touching 52 week highs. US housing is also improving. Good luck boys and girls. Get ready for your 200 square feet living space when more people get rich in Vancouver renting to poor bums.

There ARE nice areas of Surrey, y’know. Just as the DTES of Vancouver doesn’t represent all of Vancouver, the Whalley area doesn’t represent all of Surrey.

South Surrey, Cloverdale, Clayton Heights, Fraser Heights, Guildford, Ocean Park…

#73 BB The cheerleaders have got their pom poms out latley thats for sure. I saw Micheal Campbell on Global spouting the same nonsense. This guy is supposed to be an economist, what a lick spittle whore.

There is nothing about the fundamentals of the Canadian economy which justifies calls for an ending of the recession. I think these cocktail swilling pretend plutocrats have taken it upon themselves to ‘force ‘ change upon the masses by selling ‘good’ stories instead of ‘real’ news.

The Premier has authorised spending like a drunken tourist after visiting the weatherman and now the provincial wallet is empty, So what does a drunk do? Well he breaks out his credit card naturally. To hell with kids, the parents surgeries, the wifes education. A drunk like Campbell operates in a very confined state of mind, an inability to plan a move past the end of his dick. His father was a drunk and thats how campbell learned to function. All party, no pants. And who’s going to have to pay the proverbial fireman to put out the fire? Does the drunk have to dig into his own account to pay for the carnage or his own healthcare? Of course not, drunks don’t think about other peoples problems. We ahve a multi generational drunk at the helm. Did we expect any other outcome? ReallY?

Of course, Cameron Muir was trotted out. He said that consumers are feeling “confident”.

My, how they forget the small respite we had last fall.

Cheap money, anyone?

These people should be ashamed of themselves, but, they AREN”T.

A North Shore woman is suing the former owners of a home in West Vancouver after she shelled out more than $160,000 to remove 5,000 litres of contaminated fuel from a leaky home-heating oil tank buried in her backyard.

Re Oil Tanks

If you don’t mind my asking again…

Did you sell an existing home that had a ” subject – to ” from the purchasers that ,you ,the seller, had to conclusively identify the existence of an oil tank ? Did you then have to hire an expert to find it ?

In my experience, Oil heating was popular for homes built up until the 1950′s. Below ground oil tanks often have a small pipe about 6 – 8 inches long above ground with a screw cap on it.

Often these tanks are found in the demolition process ie a new house built on the site. Inside the house there can be evidence of previous oil heating as well.

Next time….I would suggest a records search at the given City Hall….look up all building permits, should identify this.

If the owner is liable, then ALL previous owners would need to disclose up to the point such rules of disclosure came into effect. Legally messy. I recall a story out of North Van where the new owner was on the hook for approx. $100,000 due to an old leaky tank.
