The bees are being forced to go furth...Hi Carla!!!<br /><br />The bees are being forced to go further away from the main hive...Vancouver because people in the boats that are made of gold are reaching our shores and walking in a buying anything and everything.<br /><br />We pay $2,000/month for rent and the government wants to remove the set rental amount so that the owners/landlords can raise the rents to whatever they want. If that happens that means that there will be a lot of bees looking for a cheaper hive wwwwaaaaayyyy out in the valley.<br /><br />B.C. is the highest in Canada on a number of things. The bees are getting restlest over all of this.<br /><br />PamPamLuvsPinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894521704333998169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-24574489090811109602014-10-14T09:50:38.662-07:002014-10-14T09:50:38.662-07:00I never thought of incuding the property taxes !!!...I never thought of incuding the property taxes !!!<br />( but I do include the link - just in case someone is interest in purchasing - you just never know !!! ) <br />xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867123594514649770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-44270310311326770512014-10-13T20:57:59.812-07:002014-10-13T20:57:59.812-07:00Hi Suzan!!!

It's sooooo pathetic.....And I live in Port Coquitlam and the houses here are insane!!! What's happening is that the working class people are having to sell and move out into the suburbs, but, the prices out here high as well.

I'm used to hearing about broom cupboards being sold in London for hundreds of thousands of pounds but I read recently that someone in Oxford (which is 30 miles away from me) was ordered to pull down a 'dwelling' they were renting as it was too small for human habitation. You could literally touch both walls if you stretched your arms and the rent wasn't cheap either!!! I really like Cass @ That Old House's idea of clubbing together for that fabulous house in France, although I'm not a blogger I'd be very happy to chip in :-)) Can we make it a condition of sale that we get to keep ALL of the furniture?Gerry Rusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766799871684764704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-26837219275558956872014-10-01T09:55:03.383-07:002014-10-01T09:55:03.383-07:00wow thats amazing!!!!

Just ridiculous. I was watching TV (Marilyn) yesterday and they showed a couple looking for a house in Toronto. The agent was showing side by sides in the $650 to 750 thousand range with postage stamp back yards (a bonus apparently) that were around 100 years old (lots of character and horrible modern renos). I can't imagine paying that for a house. I guess I'm spoiled and blessed to live where we do in rural NB! The house in France is amazing and at least half of it is in livable condition. Vancouver real estate is horribly expensive for what you get. "Take Vancouver and give me the countryside".
