...or some place similar.
It'll be nice.
Stay in Vancouver during the spring n summer, but move somewhere else during the winter months
....where would ya'll move to if ya had the chance?
Even seasonally?
I do have that option.
My wife and I have had discussions about living in a warm American State during the coldest months. Maybe owning and living in one of the retirement villages in Florida or Texas, maybe just hitting the road in our own travel trailer, maybe buying a house, etc.
And it's something that we might do at some point.
But right now it is not something that I want to do.
For these reasons and more....
I play and referee hockey in the winter. I would be giving that up.
I play in three music acts. I would be giving that up.
We have our group of friends here that we have regular Game Nights with, go out to to restaurants/bars with, etc.. We would have to meet new people which can be tedious because we do not really like most people enough to want to spend a lot of time with them.
We have a large house that is full of our stuff from sports equipment to photography equipment to music equipment and on and on. It is nice having such a variety of things to do so easily.
We would be giving up way too much for very little benefit. We will just do a road trip down into warmer areas if we get a little tired of the winter and we want to warm up for a week or two.
Here are some questions for you, Joe:
Why do you want to make a change so badly?
Do you not have a lot of things that you would be giving up?

He is doing things in his sixties that most people do in their twenties and thirties.
I was thinking about leaving Arizona when I retire but decided to just stay here, there's lots of benefits and tax cuts for seniors, warm weather and everything medical you would ever need. Don't want to move just for the sake of moving.

I hear it is very hot in the summer. But just like it is cold here in the winter, life is what you make of it.
In the winter, we have to bundle up to go outside on cold days.
In the summer, I would think that you stay inside until later in the evening on hots days.

Summer is easy to handle as long as you stay in the air conditioning. And, as we like to say, you don't have to shovel heat off the driveway.

For some reason I would like to go to Chile. I want to see Sth American art.
I would love to have a summer shack down our southern coast where it is cool but honestly since nothing gets done about our arsonists I won't go coastal bush.
Hawaii is expensive and the natives are hostile I heard many years ago. But who knows, Hawaii might welcome the tourist $$$ in todays climate.
Go check out Costa Rica where Seamajor is.

Thankfully i was born with a lotta hair and a good looking face. And I hardly age
I got the best features of my parents. Therefore among my brothers im the best looking guy in the family
I thank god for making me that way Prowler
I owe my good fortune to God
If you were kinder and have more compassion for others God might have blessed you too Prowler
You should wake every morning like me and shout

Shoveling snow is a piece of cake, unless you are a weak pussy.
I think it is funny that people will drive to a gym to work out, but whine like a little bitch when they have a little manual labour to do around the house.
Suck it up!

You are an old loser who is talking about buying real estate for the first time in his life when most people your age are talking about downsizing.
You can lie about things here, Senile Joe, but what matters is
The Truth.

Ya, I know. I live on a farm. There is always physical labour to do. City folks are pussies.
Hate to break it to you old Joe but I have a customer and a friend that live there and they say housing ain't any cheaper than Vancouver, I'll say it again if you want quality expect to pay up, it's simple supply and demand.

The guy is like seventy and he is talking about buying his very first property. Next he will be starting a new thread to announce he is finally ready to lose his virginity.
Hawaii sucks. Seriously costs are massive.

Well, where else do you suggest Oerdin?
What's a better destination?
Everyone puts down/dumps on your state California too
I was thinkin' a couple months of the year.
One thing that makes California much more appealing tho is it's closer to Vancouver.
600 mile drive from Van and yer in Cali
It's about the same distance as going from Vancouver to Calgary.
However, Calgary isn't nearly as appealing as North California

It's because of fucking China and all the land hoarding your people engage in Little Zetsu.
Plus our politicians got bought out by them & forgot about the local population.
friends of mine with children in single home ownership complain to me that their property taxes keep going up.
But what the government should do instead of taxing single home owners is to tax the land hoarders with multiple homes.
What we have currently in places like vancouver and Toronto is a system which reward land hoarding at the expense of the general population . and those hit hardest and most vulnerable and parents with children trying to raise them with exploding rents or mortgages.
This isn't fair. The land hoarders need to be punished
We have to stop subsidizing these bastards.
I can escape this trap anytime but for those who are trapped such as friends who are working parents struggling to pay the rent or mortgage, I truly pity them.

Joe you're the oldest person in this forum that had the most fortunate and best chance to buy a home for your age, meanwhile you're the only one whining about this housing crisis while none of younger folks are...
NC or Florida would be cheaper.

...that's cuz they don't know any better so they git fooled Zetsu.
That's what establishment does and always has done & always will.
Obliterate the past and everyone connected with it so that the don't have a memory of it.
"New and Improved!"
...over what?

Anyways, I hear from others that Hawaii has changed a lot.
...that it's no longer the pristine jewel in the Pacific that it used ta be.
Lots of drugs and crime now, eh? Homelessness too
Just like Vancouver.
vancouver has gone downhill too
Still might be worth a visit tho

Well, I bought my new house for $750 grand and now it's market resale value is 2.3 million dollars on Remax, I sure got fooled Joe, same for all other home owners here.

I've never really liked Vancouver that much so the high prices give me that much more of an excuse to move away from here.
I stayed primarily to help my mother who passed away this year.
In her final years, my mother needed a lot of care and attention so I had to stick around and help.
Other than her, I had no obligation, reponsibility or desire to stay here much longer.

Sorry to hear this Joe, I understand it's awful to lose someone so close to you, my mom too is getting close to that age, and will be getting eye surgery to fix her impaired vision this coming week.
Jokes aside, I remember the youtube video you've posted of the Russian mafia boss once said, "Don't say or think, but just do", I have to admit that's a rule I've yet to master.

Instead of buying in Hawaii, would renting a room for the winter appeal more? That way you haven't fully committed.
