Some days, I think we should just up sticks and move to Detroit. We could buy half of Motown for what our microscopic Vancouver one-bedroom ugly baby will eventually cost us.
Half of this photo is Canada, so we’ll have that as well:
Vancouver’s housing prices make me mad. Play the addictive quiz game Crack Shack or Mansion and you, too, will feel my pain. But it doesn’t stop the suck.
Whereas Detroit? I think they pay you to take this one.
I’ve had to stop watching shows like HGTV’s House Hunters – full castles on offer in midwestern suburbs for half our budget. Still – Detroit vs Vancouver is a silly game. It’s cold there. Vancouver and its sorcerery has us firmly brain-washed: “this is best place on earth, this is the best place on earth”.
So, too, wired in my DNA is the certain knowledge that I’ll never succumb to the suburbs. As an I’m-sick-of-house-hunting pick-me-up, I needed some solid reasons to never move outside Vancouver’s city limits:
- Further reinforcement: Vancouver city guide
- And happy memories: Vancouver Olympic Village
With a nod to Joey Tribiani, comparison shopping is a moo point. You win, Vancouver. God damn you.
