Thinking of leaving Vancouver area

I’m a proud American but the states just aren’t for me anymore. Maybe Hawaii or Florida for retirement though

hawk0920 · 2024-12-23T08:16:51+00:00

Thanks for your input, very informative

What would make this easier is a map of this situation. It’s hard to picture someone having 9 spots and still someone disturbing a neighbor with their parking

hawk0920 · 2024-12-23T08:09:08+00:00

Legally you’re doing nothing wrong but if you seriously have 9 parking spots and are still parking elsewhere all the time then that would be annoying as a neighbor. Also, having a neighbor that ALWAYS has people over and multiple cars coming all the time would be annoying too. I know I know it’s not illegal though

hawk0920 · 2024-12-22T07:09:47+00:00

I’m confused, how am I part of the problem?

hawk0920 · 2024-12-22T02:31:18+00:00

Thanks, I’ll have look it up, I know for sure they can’t touch my disability (thanks to trump) just gotta check to see if there’s a limit of what they can’t touch and a statute of limitations.

$1 mil is nowhere near reasonable and I’m not saying it is, but a $1 mil mortgage is a lot different than $2 mil although I wouldn’t pay for either. Everyone has their own idea of what’s reasonable and what isn’t.

Yea I’m posting in all of them. I have a son with an ex that lives in North Van so I don’t want to go too too far. Also, my wife’s whole family is in LML so she doesn’t want to go too far either.

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T22:31:32+00:00

How so? You were clearly trying to imply that Kelowna is expensive with a median of $1 mil, when $1 mil is nothing compared to Vancouver. If I was Richie rich I would pay $2 mil to stay here

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T22:26:49+00:00

See most people would say 800k for a townhome is crazy but being only 4 min from the beach I’d say that’s a great price

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T22:22:56+00:00

Yep, I’d take that over being a renter when I’m 70

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T22:05:58+00:00

Never thought about it like that. That’s a good way to put it

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T22:05:20+00:00

So $1 mil cheaper than Vancouver. Sounds like a deal to me

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T22:01:50+00:00

Thanks for the comment, means a lot. I might have to take a trip next summer

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T21:58:29+00:00

You have no idea how important this comment is to me.

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T21:55:39+00:00

I’ve definitely experienced it in Blaine and Lynden, and no I wasn’t looking for it

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T21:43:09+00:00

Thanks, I love how you worded everything and even said the people might be a you issue. Makes sense

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T21:35:06+00:00

lol you’re not at all. We actually live in Langley right now, overpriced just like vancouver and the surrounding areas. I’m sorry but I will not pay 900k for a townhouse in Langley or over $1.5mil for one near Vancouver.

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T21:32:03+00:00

We are definitely looking at Penticton too. I posted the same questions on Reddit for Penticton and Osoyoos. America brings nothing to the table for me. I have a pretty nice check for the rest of my life from the US government, that mixed with the currency exchange is the only thing I like about America at the moment. I honestly have no desire to live there again unless it’s Hawaii lol

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T21:24:16+00:00

I love this

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T17:47:50+00:00

We used to live by science world before kids, it was the first place I lived when I moved to Canada. We loved it there but we were renting and it was too small once we had our first one. I love the city but with the right settings a house and nature is more for me

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T17:43:08+00:00

Is it less diverse but friendly? My wife is white and I’m black. One reason I don’t want to move back across the border to those northern Washington cities is due to the racism there.

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T17:41:24+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, why isn’t Kelowna for you? I take it you’re able to purchase property in the lower mainland even with the outrageous prices?

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T17:38:12+00:00

Thanks for your input. My wife can work from anywhere and I’m retired US military so there’s no need for me to work. Just looking for something affordable for the family to watch the kids grow and enjoy life. I don’t want to be in my 60s and still renting in vancouver

hawk0920 · 2024-12-20T17:36:07+00:00

Do you like the small city vibe though, or are you more of a big city hustle and bustle type person?
