I agree. But wannabee thugs?

Seriously, downtown? Sure there are a few, but I think they are visiting from Maple Ridge...

Also, I have been to Maple Ridge, (or it might have been Poco, I'm not sure of the difference).

Downtown makes sense if (and feel free to add to the list people):

- Work.
- Like to attend concerts.
- Have better things to do then commute for an hour in rush hour traffic.
- You like to shop.
- You eat at places other then white spot and red robins, or Earls if it's a special night.
- You like to be close to your friends.
- If you don't want people to groan everytime they have to come to your place.
- Your dating.
- Your nights don't consist of watching TV...

I know I sound pretentious. But we're having an argument over which is better, downtown or maple ridge. I'm allowed to be.

you are so incredibly lost, but i'm positive your landlord is loving you.

Beside's the concert thing... you can do that all anywhere in the GVRD. Not just in Vancovuer.

it's amogst the boarder, i guess... but you still cant miss anything there.. especially where commercial and broadway cross.

[rawb]

COMMERCIAL DRIVE IS GREAT IF YOU LIKE HOME INVASIONS, UNIQUE FOOD, FAR LEFT LIBERALISM AND FUCK ALL ELSE l

I WOULDNT MENTION IT IN THE SAME BREATH AS DOWNTOWN AS IT IS DEFINITELY ITS OWN UNIQUE AREA

That is hardly the border of downtown.

[SWIFTBEATS]

you have way to much time on your hands, you'd think there would be better things to be doing living downtown and all.

I would, except my bosses wouldn't be too keen on me leaving the office to frolic downtown.

[tiedye]

What does any of this have to do with H2Omg?

no, argueing the qualities of paying another persons mortgage is a much better use of time on the clock.

[rawb]

DO NEW HOUSES IN RIDGE COME WITH A GROW OP, OR IS THAT AN OPTION YOU HAVE TO ADD ON WITH THE BUILDER l

[SWIFTBEATS]

i can hook that up yes

Because owning a house makes sense in everyone's situation...

No matter what the market it is, or how volatile your field is, buy a house that's a hour and a half drive from your work, friends and hang outs. 19 and moving out? Buy a house! Just starting your career? Move to abbotsford and buy a house!

See, but when I'm done here, I'm going to walk out of my office, walk along the beach on the way home, do a little shopping on the way home and probably be home in 30-40 mins.

Meanwhile the people who live in Maple Ridge will be half way home.

[SWIFTBEATS]

that's just amazingly great kiddo, a wonderful life plan indeed.

btw, it takes me 30 minutes to get downtown without traffic. you'd know that if you owned a car or say had actually been to the community you are argueing against.

[SWIFTBEATS]

again, my arguement isn't against living downtown, but rather renting and believeing that's intelligent because you can walk to your drain pipe in five minutes.

Yes, I've been to Maple Ridge. I owned a car before I moved downtown.

And I don't argue that owning a house in the area you want to live (not the area you are forced to live in because you can't afford otherwise) is a good idea sometimes.

But arguing that EVERYONE should own a house no matter what. And renting is NEVER a good idea is ignorant.

I work in a field, where maybe this time next year I'll work in Toronto, or down in the states. As you can imagine, it doesn't make much sense for me to run to the bank and get into a mortgage for an apartment in a city I might have to leave in a year.

But sure, renegotiating a mortgage every few years in a new city sounds like a blast!

[SWIFTBEATS]

I wasn't argueing that everyone should own a home, and certainly not specifically in maple ridge. I was trying to help you to get yourself in check. Because every time you renters come in here and boast about living downtown you sound like idiots, we could all live downtown if that's what we wanted to do. basically i was saying, get a life.

WHEN YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT RENTING DOWNTOWN OFTEN EXCLUDES YOU FROM THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR IN GAS, CAR PAYMENTS, TAXIS, INSURANCE, TAXES, UPKEEP AND SHIELDS YOU FROM DEVALUATION OF PROPERTY, YOU COULD MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT RENTING IS CHEAPER THAN A MORTGAGE IN THE SUBURBS OF THE SUBURBS. ESPECIALLY WHEN MONTHLY RENT IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS l

IF YOU FACTOR IN THE COST OF YOUR PERSONAL TIME SITTING IN TRAFFIC, THE VALUE SKYROCKETS.

THIS OF COURSE TAKE SINTO ACCOUNT THE INVESTING OF THE MONEY YOU SAVE BY RENTING

i think pretty much anyone with any sense could tear this apart, sentence by sentence. so i'll leave you with your distorted thoughts on the subject and go do something usefull.

I OWN DOWNTOWN, YOU OWN IN MAPLE RIDGE, I THINK I WIN l
