Me and my wife make a good living and pay significant taxes. While we could still afford to live in the city, it is getting very hard to see it being worth paying a ridiculous premium (rent) for that, so we are strongly considering leaving Vancouver for the neighboring cities. It seems that Mayor Robertson's plan is to run his empty city with just property taxes and without people living there.  |
Exactly. I am
seriously considering New Westminster in my next apartment search. I may even buy a reasonably priced 'pre leaky condo era' 1 bed there, they can be had for around 150,000 and often quite large. It's a great city. Maintenance fees and taxes are a bit higher but more then offset by the lower price of condos.
