Bahahahaha!!!...Sounds like someone's been eating too much Alberta "mad cow"...lol.


=)

Yep John right next door ...now you know why I always have a smile on my face!

Three best places to live in the world:

Montreal, Vancouver, Newport Beach (California)


Coal Harbor is beautiful, the city for the most part is very clean. They just underwent a huge redevelopment. Great food, beautiful women. Sure the Chinese run the place but that makes it interesting and cultural. The traffic isn't too bad. The fact that you are nestled between the mountains and the ocean is amazing. Reminds me of Hong Kong a bit. Great strip bars and massage parlors. Nice people. Great views. US dollar is still relatively strong despite it sinking a bit recently. Like Southern California, you can water ski and snow ski in the same day.

There are an awful lot of panhandlers....but, that's pretty much true of any major city.

I like it because it has interesting architecture...it's growing.....beautiful mountains, which I love...that's part of what brought me to Seattle..and, the water...

They've got great restaurants...it's picturesque....

The people there were friendly....

Man I appoligized for that 6 months ago...Fuck get over it .Your constant racist remarks only makes you look even more retarded than making up bullshit that people are actually moving to Calgary.

dude i would not have broughten it up if you did not say some stupid remark about a 14 year old foo. face it canada is being ruined by massive imigration. all the crap from the east is moving west. and all the crap from everywhere is moving to the west also, our roads can no longer keep up to the amount of population and growth. as i said above calgary is going downhill also.

oh ya? Well Pia Reyes lives in my building, so there!

=P

John I hope, that you have at least invited her in for a shoot?:thumbsup :winkwink:

6 months of the year, Vancouver is one of the greatest cities in the world. (April through September)

I guess you didnt go to western high! LOL

Vancouver rocks!

Great food, great mix of people, great scenery, lotsa shit to do :)

I like to live on the outside of vancouver in a 70yr old character home yet I can get to downtown in 15 mins. It's quiet out here with a view of water and mountains. I have a big ass yard, apple tree and all that. Occassionally I have a problem with the raccoons, but hey...

Taxes here suck, and there are definitely cheaper places in the world to live. But everytime I come home from a trip, I wonder why I left home to begin with. Vancouver is my fave city.

Can not believe the city does not do more to ax the beggers and crack down on the open drug use. I have walked alone downtown at night (robson) area and worried about my safety because of the homeless crowd there.


Lets also not forget the Vancouver porn mafia, those guys are bad for the city;-)

i missed this before:

10 minute DRIVE i assume? would that be about the same for both the west end and coal harbor?

can you give me a rough estimate of how far away the two areas (coal harbor and west end) are in terms of walking? i was under the impression that coal harbor was very close to Stanley Park. what about beach areas?

thanks again :)

where do you live roughly (if you don't mind me asking)?

thanks for everyone's input...

Ok lemme show you where coal harbour and the west end are in relation to each other and Stanley Park - I live in coal harbour where the X is on the map (that arrow takes 7 mins to walk):

Vancouver rules!

thanks for taking the time to draw that out jojojo.

there are many beautiful places available in coal harbor right now :)

I have a condo in downtown. I didnt enjoy living there so I moved to Port Moody, which is an amazing little city within 15 mins of downtown (outside of rush hour) due to the barnet highway.

For $290k I got a HUGE yard with a white picket fence and separate garage, 70 yr old character home with nicely finished fir floors and 2700 sq ft of space spread across 3 floors.

I paid $240k for a little condo downtown. 12th floor with a decent view, but only 890 sq ft and 1 parking space. An extra space was costing $250 per month. Plus, maintainence fees are pissing me off - they have risen from $180 per month to $280 per month!

Anyways, I like port moody and enjoy being able to talk a walk down a quiet street to get my starbucks fix in the morning - as opposed to jostling thru crowds and avoiding bums downtown :)

But it's all in your preference - I wasn't in coal harbour either...

I've never been to Vancouver yet actually... I need to get out more and travel.

Actually that is a older picture of coal harbour. You can make out the highrises being built down there.
If I had the money that would be some prime location.Probably one of the best views in the city.
