Frankly, since purchasing my home here I have watched the neighbourhood improve significantly and it is much greater a place than one could notice by 'just passing through'. My home's property value in the six years that have passed has increased by over 50%. Not very many neighbourhoods can boast such an increase in that short a period of time. And, despite your obvious negative bias towards Harry Stinson, he has always been bang on in identifying the up and coming neighbourhoods in a city.

I would much rather not discuss personal experiences on here other than to say that I have neither had a great nor a terrible experience there, but have never gotten anything near a positive vibe. Your quote of my message has conveniently left out the "in my opinion" suffix, which completely changes the tone of what I stated.
However much the neighbourhood may have improved, you have admitted to pockets of sketchiness and even without those, I simply cannot picture many $400K condo sales in that area and you seem to at least partially agree that such pricing is too high.
Once again, I see Stinson having trouble succeeding, although this idea is obviously somewhat more grounded than that 100 story pie-in-the-sky nonsense that a number of people here cheered on.
What are we arguing about?
