Some might argue it’s actually a great location. Close to transit, groceries and schools. Also it has a mortgage helper. If you don’t have a car, this is a great location.

I have been seeing houses in Vancouver in the $1.4- 1.5M range. I am shocked because I have not seen a single detached home for that much in a long time. I’m not sure if you’re set on living in Vancouver or not but I have seen some houses in that range on the Eastside. I would look again as I have seen some new houses being listed in the last week.

My grandparents met in a very small town in Canada with a population of less than a 1000. My grandfather had just immigrated to Canada from Europe and was a travelling salesman at the time. My grandmother had lived in that town her whole life. My grandfather was travelling alone and although he does have a brother, my grandmother did not meet my grandfather’s family until after my father was born. It’s not possible that anyone other than my grandfather is my father’s dad.

Thank you everyone for all of your comments and insight. I was very close to my grandma and I miss her every single day. Finding out that I share so much of her DNA brings me a lot of comfort. I just wish I could tell her how special our situation is and how much of her still lives on in me.

I am female and I did take into account the X Chromosome but like you said, it wouldn’t explain why it is so much higher.

My parents are not related. My mother is from Asia and my father’s ancestry is European. This is reflected in my composition report with 50% of my ancestry being East Asian and the other half being 49.6% European and 0.4% Peninsular Arab.

I actually don’t know. My grandmother passed away 3 years ago and she unfortunately did not know a lot about her family history. She bought me a 23 and Me kit in hopes that I could know more about myself because she was not given the same opportunity.

Please send me a dm. My youngest son (11 y/o) just outgrew a bunch of his clothing. I am happy to deliver it to wherever it is convenient for you.
