A family friend moved from Vancouver 12 yrs ago after working in the IT field for 15 years in Vancouver and being capped out fully at 200k and could not make a penny more, moved to California, within 3 years he was earning north of 700k and within 5 years purchased a mansion on the hills in Beverly Hills for 3.5 million which would easily cost 10 million in Vancouver and currently living his best life, to say he has not come back is a major understatement! He might come back for a week once every few years to see family and hang out at a Kits for a dinner but that is it. Most ppl are in Canada because they do not have the option of the US that is a fact, and get out of here with the beauty crap, been all over the world and 100s of places are equally or more beautiful in every way, So much false advertising. BTW 75 percent of people who migrate to Canada are from two countries and two countries alone, India and China so it is not exactly diversity given that the planet has over 180 plus countries in it! Also the main functions of the economy in this province and Ontario have everything to do with Real Estate and or anything to do with real estate and Immigration consulting and anything to do with immigrants, schools visas ect, it is actually quite a pitiful scene.
I used to hear non stop the slogan "The Best Place on Earth" and how beautiful Vancouver is blah blah blah. After living in Vancouver for 17 years I took a business trip to Australia and after a few days in Sydney and touring other areas my main thoughts were "They lied". Heck, even the Asian Cuisine in Sydney I found to be better than Vancouver's.
We are being extorted to pay Switzerland Prices because of government real estate policy and chinese investors in real estate, for a city that has turned into a developing country, for the prices we pay for homes out here you could retire 10 times over in any very nice city and neighbourhood in the US where ppl are earning the same median income or more on average than in Vancovuer, Flordia neighbourhoods much nicer than EAST Van the crap hole where ppl make way more money you can buy a beautiful home for 500k at most. It is actually very disgusting what has happened to BC and Ontario. The only ppl who are not complaining are older ppl who paid what the homes are actually worth in Vancouver, ie 300k 500k max and are now sitting on a few million for doing nothing but allowing ppl from overseas to come and hyper inflate house prices to 3 million. Period. Home prices are like in Malibu and Beverly Hills where ppl are making millions per year, while the median income is 65k in Vancouver, it is very very disgusting actually and ppl have turned residential detached homes on the east and west side into rooming houses housing 10 ppl illegally and getting 800 per head turning neighborhoods into crapholes while u have to pay 2 mill for crap house. It is vomit inducing what Vancouver has turned into. That is not an opinion that is an evidence based fact. Vancovuer has turned into nothing but a place to park money into real estate from overseas Asia, it is no city at all. Stop being deceptive. House prices have nothing to do with the lie of how desirable it is to live here, and everything to do with the above, this place has been built on pure lies and deception and misinformation. Also in wealthy neighborhoods where homes are more like 4 plus million, it is eerie, your neighbours may have money but everyone is all shady, like one Neighbour may have defrauded a bank in the middle east and stole money and came here, another is an ex-government official of a third world country who fled to canada, the other dealt in organs in china, it is a really weird eerie dynamic. In the US, you talk to your Neighbour and the guy owns 30 car dealerships, the next guy is the ceo of a massive insurance company, the other has 50 dental practices across the country, the other is a big wall street guy ect. Not in Canada, in this country most people who are wealthy, are wealthy from doing shady crap, theft and corruption in third world countries, that is also a FACT. Have seen this country turn into pure crap in the past 40 yrs. From a wonderful place with systems and an economy functioning at its own pace and in its own weight class, with great health care and low crime to a real estate crazed hyperinflated province and country with corrupt sell out politicians, who saw a bit of money from overseas and said...eff it ...lets ruin everything to get rich!

Enjoyed all the different thoughts but at the end, everything goes back to cost
Great Video....I've lived in Vancouver for over 25 years....the guy in the Red Beret and younger guy with the sunglasses nailed living in Vancouver. 😆
Thank you!! And I agree haha Do you think Vancouver is still worth living in after 25 years?
Whos in the reflection beside Bill? Really good looking 😉
He sure is 😂🙃
@@WonbaeSon Uuuuuuuuh... alright hahahaaha :3
Not enough housing AT ALL. I saw there were basements packed with 20 students living together. DO NOT come here, unless you have money to throw away.
Thank you for your insight
Lapel mics go on the lapel.
I only had one mic at the time to share but now I’ve got a new pair since then.
Definitely lots of rats! I've watched the rats running around the art gallery
I’ve actually starting noticing some rats here and there especially in downtown Vancouver haha
