Re: misery at Vancouver housing cost?

Not many facilities for whoever owns the other two-thirds. ;)

Re: misery at Vancouver housing cost?

Yes...in fact when I started the post I was going to mention that but forgot. But then that probably happened as I was trying to make it general rather than for your situation.

Re: misery at Vancouver housing cost?

However, the reality is that in this province the powers that be have decreed that where the owner doesn't reside in the...

Or it's a holiday home. Like 'the cottage' that's empty apart from weekends and the occasional week in summer.

I can understand the additional taxes on the place that's unused most of the time....

I've had plenty of prospective tenants tell me they'd rather deal with individual landlords than companies or agents.

There's been a big change in the time I've lived here - the vast majority of...

Re: misery at Vancouver housing cost?
