You get security that way, at least.  I'm on ground level, but in a unit that would be difficult to gain access to.  Most ground level units are easy to gain access to...

I'm so exhausted from today.  My arse is parked for the night.  Tomorrow I have to clean the entire old suite and also prime 2 rooms which I painted.  It's so weird to see this place I lived in for 9 years, empty.

Lol



Brussels taste better in a sauce or flavored with something.  I think they are nasty too..but if you cook them right, they're amazing!



Celery is always in stock at my place,  the dragon loves it.



Does wine make you sick? Red wine has too many nitrates and makes me gag...but there some whites that are amazing!

To be honest, I'm ok with it.  It's not terrible.  My hearing is the worst one.  I'm not good in loud bars n shit..but then no one is...its been a struggle but my kid sees what I go thru...and even tho shes a bad ass...she has a good spot for kids with disabilities, she treats them right and makes them part of the group..shes even won awards for it!  So that's a bonus!

I'm not 100% deaf.  I wear hearing aids...I need them for work.  I just cant be in extremely loud environments.  It's ok, many people today will lose their hearing thru their jobs, mostly men and esp on the oil fields, so they say.



The other 2 are none of your business, they are not life threatening.

Congratulations Berry.



I hope you enjoy your place.



I can't afford to move anymore.



Last time I did rents were cheap about half of what they are now.



I'm not eligible for subsidized housing or rent subsidies of any kind.



Luckily I have no health issues at all. No addictions whatsoever.



In this country you cant afford to wear out or grow old.



I think the next time I move, it'll be out of Vancouver & possibly out of the country.



I figger its better to move before I get trapped in this place.



I Can see where this place is headed.



Vancouvers best days have passed it by unfortunately.



There aren't very many affordable but at the same time livable places in Vancouver left.



Just skid row & the downtown east side



But nobody wants ta live there, not even the bums begging for alms on the sidewalk.

No I'm not eligible fer that either.



Stuck/caught in a rock & a hard place.



But from Seniors I've met, subsidized housing is hard to obtain in Vancouver. They often wait several years to get it unless they have connections. And for the more normal healthy ones, the guv is reluctant to give it to em unless they gotta health issue. I guess the reasoning goes, if theyre gonna die soon, may as well give it to them so that the next occupant can getvit doon afterwards, eh?



And those who get it are either faced with the prospect of sharing the premises with drug addicts, drug dealers or the mentally ill.



One guy told me that he got it, pays $300 per month, and he keeps a low profile in the place since one pf the occupants gashed up his door lock and left a nasty note at his door. He didnt have any drug or mentsl issues himself but maybe some physicsl ones like arthritis & a bad back. Essentially he was saying that a person living in them potentially can face retribution from others if they stand out too much.



Isnt that consistent with a Chinese saying about how if a nail sticks up too much, it gets nailed down woth a hammer? I guess thats why Chinese are often so conformist. But thats what those housing complexes are like too.



A person pays a price for those low subsidized rents. Non subsidized you pay a lot more butvwhat ya get back us yer sanity & freedom.

If he's trying to keep a low profile, perhaps it's not wise that he tells you how little he pays.

Well one reason this guy might have been the target of being attacked is he's sane and healthy enough to hold down a pt job and maybe one of the residents didnt like it, got jealous & decided to slash his door for having more than them and being one of the more successful occupants in the complex.



Those kinda places have a life of  their own with petty jealousies and rivalries abound.



Btw he's Canadian Chinese too

I suspect social housing must be a lot more common in Vancouver than Calgary fashionista. Hence you meet a lot more people here in that situation and who are willing to tell you.



Its probably due to the fact that its twice as high in Vancouver and that there is a lack of affordable housing here. Its not uncommon to pay $2000 a mo for a 1BR in Vancouver.

No...not actively...just had a few people offer something that may be worth my time.   I'm just really tired (which is rare) and I haven't had time for my b12 shot in a few weeks :(     I do want to start a new career.
