Hollywood North vs. Beverly Hills
Here’s an interesting comparison that came up in in the discussion earlier comparing a couple of North American property markets. First off space889 pointed out this nice large lot on the west side of Vancouver that is up for sale asking $3,280,000 – the oil tank has been removed and this property could be used to build your dream home near Oak street, or you could just hold onto it and wait for it to appreciate.
Crabman then pointed out this property in a place called Beverly Hills on a slightly larger lot asking $3,200,000.
Here they are side by side for comparison:

Playing devil's advocate here to some extent, but given the choice between living in Beverly Hills and Vancouver, there's no question that I'd choose the latter. I wonder if attitudes are shifting somewhat and that's becoming the case for an increasing number of people. Given, the Beverly Hills house is a lot nicer. But really, who would want to live in such a phony, crowded, polluted place?

@Jeff:
Oh my god, the inventory is shrinking. Sellers are jacking up prices everyday. Rich Chinese are snapping up condos left, right and center. Rennie Marketing keeps making millions. The economy is so strong, our jobs are rock solid. What am I going to do? I'll be priced out forever!

I'm hearing that prices are going back up. People are pulling properties off the market and waiting for improved prices in September. Perhaps this might work?
Interest rates are very low, Canadians love debt, we're not like all those other places, perhaps it's different here?

What buffoonery it is to say that the thousands of complaints and the hundreds of buildings in the bedbug registry are all products of 'disgruntled tenants'. Saying this proves that the poster is working a sick twisted and perverted agenda to try to disguise the reality. I would say it is either the work of a city worker, a scared shitless landlord or an abject denier who can't sanction the idea that Vanshithole isn't #1.
I met a PCO guy who told me that if 'I saw what he saw in the kitchens of Vanshitholes best restaurants' that I would never eat out in Vandumpo again. This professional bug man detailed tha restaraunts that had rat roach mouse silverfish ant….everything else infestations that were permanent.
The Vancouver bedbug infestation extends to public transport infestation, public athletic facilities, private exercise gyms ( all big names) residential and commercial properties ( throughout the Fraser Valley) and even movie theatres. I was warned specifically not to ever bring cardboard boxes into the house from grocery and liquor stores as they are 100% contaminated with vermin. Anyone just has to Google Bedbugs Vancouver and get 114,000 options, change the search parameters a single word and get thousands more.
It seems that the deniers are really antsy about this topic getting out….lets torch their silly asses so they don't get to hidey hole on this one. What kind of assholery is going on with the deniers these days that makes them desperate to hide an odious infestation of bedbugs rats roaches and vermin??????????? Its not like everybody doesn't already know. Try tripping through Travel Advisor and listing any Vanshithole hotels.
