Oh hello fellow Victorian ^^ ? I just got back from a weekend in Van about an hour ago. I hardly did any shopping and a trip for just the weekend (not including hotel fees) was $500. It's such an expensive place to visit, I couldn't imagine living there.
And Venables isn't exactly in the nicest neighbourhood too! This same house in a highly sought after neighbourhood would be more like 2 million because of land value.
It sucks, the ferry alone was over $200 ? Have you seen the contest for people to rename some of the ferries? People suggested the funniest names like "Coastal Drain Your Wallets". Too funny ? But SOOO true.
Haha! Yeah they totally set themselves up for that one. So many hilarious suggestions. It's too bad the whole operation is so poorly run... Paying hundreds of thousands to the CEO and those high up but then saying BC Ferries is doing poorly financially so they have to up the ticket prices. Stupid!

Wow! That would cost us maybe around $30-40 thousand max and that's if it had a decent sized yard

And that is why I moved back to Calgary! As beautiful as Vancouver is it's just not affordable.

We're paying 20,000 for ours and an acre of land and it looks better than this :/

I have 4 1+ million dollar houses on my street. They ate huge houses on tiny lots.

I took a budgeting class in vancouver and the first thing the teacher said was " it doesn't matter how much you make, you cannot afford to live here"

You'd think the fence would at least be wooden and nice ?

I wouldn't pay 100,000 for that much less 1 mill!!!! Wow!

Just curious what is the standard of living there in Vancouver.
What's the average salary there?

@CandiceSpeck ... I hear ya! The ferry prices are ridiculous too. I'm always exhausted from my Vancouver trips.
