His final straw was when a very large Filipino family moved into the rental house and proceeded to "hang out" outside of it almost 24-7 with their extended families and friends. Non stop talking right by his window. His words were I believe I feel like I live in the middle of a Manila slum, I am out of here.
Now he downsized to Stevston to a townhouse complex that is very mixed. Him and his wife have government jobs and will sell and leave the region when they retire, the only reason they didn't is because of jobs.
So yeah that's one example. Most people I know are slowly leaving.

Your brother seems like a racist. Let me check:

Let's be charitable and say he dislikes diversity, - why did he move to Steveston of all places? A place with similar
demographics as
Killarney? Because his building is "mixed"? Is he pulling your leg?
