Just did: IKEA and breakfast. I think they're both correct.

The IKEA we were at is in Burnaby. I'm not sure if this is considered part of Vancouver. Mind you, from what I saw you can keep Burnaby too!

It's Coquitlam. Much worse thank Burnaby, although much better than Maple Ridge.

I know. I feel my pain. It's a whole little piece of paradise I've carved out for myself here!

Ikea is in Coquitlam and Richmond.

Vancouver is quickly becoming the city of the wealthy and elite, seems the plan is to get rid of the lower class and lower middle class as the city is well beyond what they can afford.

Nope. Wealthy on the outside, debt on the inside. It's amusing really.

Debt they may have but bet they make a lot more then we do.

It's all relative really, to someone who makes 15 or 20 k a year, someone making 60k could be seen as wealthy but then you have people making 300k and claim to be barely making it..lol

Parking in Vancouver is expensive? How cute...

Only New York tops Calgary in downtown parking rates

That is monthly parking though. Different then short term hourly parking.

Those paying 300 per month likely end up paying less per hour.

If the monthly parking is second only to NY in North America, can you imagine the daily or hourly rates? The cheapest daily rate to my office is $29, and that's the early bird rate. And half the time it's full by 7am when I get there, meaning parking in the next lot over at $34.

Not to mention that there's waiting lists at most parking lots and parkades for monthly parking.

Parking in this city is hell. Expensive hell.
