AlTahoe Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 6 minutes ago, SilverFallsAndrew said: I bought my house for 185K USD in 2011, the market has calmed down a little, but the last I checked it was estimated around $600K, pretty standard older (1974) house, on about 3 acres. Probably always going to pay a little more living on an island, I would also assume BC has fairly strict zoning/building laws. That is one thing people don't realize that makes the West Coast so much more expensive than say the Midwest. In Texas or Oklahoma there is little regulation, and few zoning restrictions. On the west coast there is always very tight supply which leads to artificial shortages. In Tahoe they only allow around 115 building permits a year and they run out in 2035 from a rule drafted back in the 1960's. So after that if you want to build a new house in Tahoe you have to tear down a current one. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not have the permit system like that up here that I am aware of, but a few years ago when my wife was working in Lake Oswego, it was pretty common for developers to come in and purchase perfectly nice smaller houses on big lots and tear them down and build big $2-3m homes.

Chewbacca Defense Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 2 hours ago, SilverFallsAndrew said: Canada seems like a nice country. Is your society completely collapsing like the United States? I have also always been under the impression one needs to earn a tremendous amount of money to live well in Canada. Say a family with 5 children makes a combined $140k USD annually, could they live well on Vancouver Island? You are going to pay crazy taxes in Canada and things are just more expensive. Living on the border, I can tell you that there is no shortage of Canadians coming down to Bellingham to shop eve now with a very weak CAD. It's not as bad as when the USD was weaker, but still plenty of Canadians showing up Friday through Sunday. I think gas in Vancouver is penciling out to about $7 USD per gallon. @Rubus Leucodermis could probably speak better about the cost impacts of living in the US vs Canada since he moved there in the past year. I would love to live on Vancouver Island, it has a nice vibe to it. There was a time that I thought Vancouver would be a cool city if I had to live in a "big city" but I don't think I could do it any more. I would also love to live up on the Sunshine Coast, but I would imagine home prices are insane there (I haven't looked, don't want to know) 2 1 Britton Rd Bellingham Weather Station: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KWABELLI103?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxes are higher on this side of the border, but not terribly so IMO, and it cuts both ways (health care costs A LOT less, in part due to those higher taxes). Gas is around $2 CAD / litre which if I do my math right works out to $5.67 USD / gallon. More expensive, but not $7/gallon expensive. A big part of the reason why so many Canadians shop in Bellingham is simply the selection. A lot of US brands and chains are missing in Canada. The Bellingham Trader Joe's has the best sales per square foot of any Trader Joe's store, because there are no TJ's in Canada. 3 It's called clown range for a reason.

Rubus Leucodermis Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 6 minutes ago, SilverFallsAndrew said: The big question is how accessible is legal cannabis in BC? Very I would hope. Totally legal! In the USA, “legal” cannabis is actually in a legal gray area, still illegal under Federal law. It’s just that some states have chosen not to enforce the Federal law, and in those states the Feds have chosen not to enforce it themselves. In Canada, there is no gray area, it is legal, period. One upshot is that you don’t have to pay cash to buy pot in Canada. Most all pot shops take credit or debit, just like any other retail business. In the USA, banks are afraid to have close relationships with cannabis retailers because it is still illegal at the Federal level. Still completely verboten to take it across the border. I think this is mostly due to the borders being under control of the Federal government, and cannabis still being illegal at the Federal level in the USA. 2 It's called clown range for a reason.
