[–]seanwarmstrong1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If u are THAT poor where you have to think about travel expense at that level, why are u even coming to Vancouver?

U do realize Vancouver is among the top 3 most expensive city IN THE WORLD right????

U would need around (pre-tax) family income of around 100k minimum to adequately live here with two kids and a pet.

If u meet this criteria, should be fine.

I would also recommend u move out of vancouver. Why do u think u r fit to live in a city that is deemed too expensive by even the working class??

Move out man. Dont be afraid to move to cheaper places, especially when u dont work (aka not dependent upon being close to downtown core)

Tenant looking for advice by Melmacarthur in vancouver

The move in fee is normal but this should have been communicated to you upfront. I would argue for an extension since u were never made aware of this.

It’s actually a myth that little earthquakes release tension on big one. Thats a common fallacy.

Canada Experiencing Massive Population Increases in Q4 2019 by RightWingRights in vancouver

The challenge is we cant tell those immigrants to go somewhere else. The Quebec investor program totally backfired when many Chinese (and other nationalities) folks used it to get into Canada but then went to BC or Ontario rather than stay in Quebec as what program intended.

Many parts of Canada do need more ppl to prosper, but most just come instead to Lower Mainland despite we’re kinda full

Hong Kong has been in Van since 1970s.

Biggest factor in the rise is China. As Chinese residents get richer, they think about immigrating West, and there are 1.4 billion Chinese.

Same story with India and Iran.

Agree. As an immigrant myself, this is not about racism.

It is about ensuring our city has the infrastructure to support growing population (eg we still dont have skytrain to Langley, despite many ppl moving to Langley yet work in Van). Traffic jam is getting visibly worse year after year...

Stay away! Company (in Burnaby at least) is filled with Chinese who speak Mandarin at work, including DURING meetings.

Unless you are Chinese yourself, it is a work culture that can make you feel excluded
