Thoughts on vancouver
Vancouver is advertised as a multicultural paradise full of beauty, gorgeous architecture and great weather. In reality at least through my experience (feel free to do some research through the Vancouver hate blogs) its anything but these things. Its cold, it rains nearly 150 days a year, its the second most expensive place in the world, which is a bit odd since most of the world doesn't know about it let alone wherever the hell it is, and the government is notorious for allowing rich Chinese foreigners to buy up all the land and drive up prices so those born here can't afford it. Families are small and its less diverse now than ever (30% white 40% Chinese 30% ???) very different from the ethic makeup of Seattle just 100 miles south. Anyways im beginning to wonder if i should stay here after my University, because it keeps getting more expensive and its very lonely, when my family came here we were very prosperous but most of our money has been taxed away, and we can't afford the $3000 a month mortgage payment on a condominium. Dating is also a drag, most women in their twenties expecting a man with a white collar job and a hefty paycheck, what's the point? u go to school get a great job, buy a condo, pretty much scrounge by for 30 years to pay your mortgage which is generally a healthy 60% of income here, marry some gold digger bimbo (which apparently all women are in this city) who isn't even good looking to begin with, then grow old and enjoy life????!!! is that this city???!! we'd have to raise a family in a condo or a suburb 3 hours away? this isn't Los Angeles, which has an excuse because its truly a world class city, its a cold raining mountain town of 600,000 people and its demanding i make top dollar to get a pretty mundane life. should i just leave after University? or should i hope that things get better and learn to love the ugly aspects of this.
