It's a Sunny fall weekend in Vancouver!

[Anonymous]

Yes sunny weekend here in Vancouver. December is exciting with all the Christmas festivals here. I booked Dec 17th-26th off.

It was good weather today and the weekend should be superb.



What part of the city do you live in? I live in North Surrey.

I live in East Vancouver. Why did you move here?

Why would you move to East Vancouver? Why would anyone move there.

They think it's cool to live in Vancouver, when really it isn't...  It used to be a nice place a few decades ago, but now it's just a congested shithole.

It is more functional than some Canadian cities, but backward compared to Tel Aviv.

It's an overpriced congested shithole.  Used to be better, but Vancouver sold out to China ages ago.  Born and raised here, so I have seen the destruction!

In fact, Fash is visiting Van right now.  I bet you she sees more Asians there than in her native Taiwan!

Israeli cities are overpriced too.

I stay here for my work, but I really have not much else holding me here.  Not a day goes by when I don't dream about living on some property out in the country somewhere...

We're in Vancouver for work too.

What kind of construction work do you do?

Drywall, and framing. I can lay bricks and do plumbing too.

OK.  I only ask, because I own and operate a gravel truck (yes, there are a few of us whities still doing that here), but I wouldn't typically work with guys doing the type of trades that you do.

I like working with my hands.

[Chuck Bronson]

There's lots of trades work here, and with the right company the pay is OK, relatively speaking.  Van is somewhat limited with opportunity for the 'average' guy...  Trades is the best way to stay busy and earn a living here, it seems.

[Chuck Bronson]

I know a plumber, he's ticketed, that bought a van (yes, a white raper van with no windows) and went freelance.  Without even having a company name or number on the van, he is STILL turning down about 50% of the work that he's offered.



I asked why he doesn't expand the business?  He's simply happy running a one man show, and doesn't want to deal with employees.  He keeps busy enough!
