Vancouver Hoods EXPOSED! BEWARE Before Moving to Vancouver in 2025!

[@mstt3530]

This video was super informative, thank you for taking the time out to make these videos on Vancouver! All the best ❤

I moved to the lower mainland in 87 to go to school. The early years were great. I used to cycle from Coquitlam to White Rock or Stanley Park and all over. These days I'm afraid to drive in Vancouver. It's either gridlock or I'm doing 110 in an 80 zone and people are whipping past and forget it in the winter if the roads are slippery or snowy. So if you think "I'll just use Skytrain"; when it was built they skipped the usual heated rails to save money. When you REALLY need Skytrain when there is a dump of snow (it does happen) the system breaks down. There ARE great neighbourhoods to live in Greater Van but you couldn't pay me to move back.

@@davidphillips7255 lol, you mean once a year when it snows?

[@davidbarts6144]

In my experience SkyTrain usually works quite well in snowy weather. Certainly better than buses or private vehicles on gridlocked snowpacked streets. Sometimes a big dump (like the 30 cm that fell in a single day last January) will cause issues on SkyTrain but even then the streets are far worse.

LOVE THAT MAP Seb! Laughed so hard... shooting soda out my nose.😂🎉

It helps you get a flavour for the city.

We've pretty much settled on West Point Grey and Kits. But, and a big butt, could there be a small community outside of the main city area that could attract us. I live in a town of 45,000 people 35 minutes from downtown Toronto. I have a rail link to the city, freeway access, trails and can walk to five grocery stores, Canadian tyre, dentist, doctor - walking distance to all of it (6-15 minute walk to all of it). The big question: what communities offer this outside of Vancouver, with lower price of homes? I think you have touched on this before, but not completely. I'm not thinking suburbs off YVR, but smaller towns that are mostly self sufficient. It's a lot of answer here so might be a video idea for later. Kits and WPG is the top of our list, but there must be some other outlying areas that are designed well and self sustaining ;) Happy Christmas Sebastian. Thanks for this video on the heels of Christmas!

[@loveyourbrother100]

It depends if you are commuting where to and what your tolerance is for commuting. I was born here and have lived in Vancouver for the past 56 years.

[@loveyourbrother100]

I currently live in Fort Langley.

Dynamite vid💯

[@johnnyboyvan]

All biased but I acquiesce. I live in Kits and love ❤️ it.

[@zackeryzackery9381]

Can you do a video on the neighborhoods of West Vancouver?

[@bigtex1465]

What’s the best place to live if one works at the airport?

[@GGTanguera]

Richmond or downtown. Check out the transit map.

Vancouver is my dream city.

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Same here. Efforting to make it a reality.

[@armandon2208]

Good luck lol

[@louisaw2391]

It’s overrated. I live here. Vancouver was great 30 years ago.

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

@@louisaw2391 I'm coming from Toronto where a lot of people are entitled and the weather is either cold or hot and humid.

[@SherriFlemming]

Can you afford to live in Vancouver and find stable employment? There's an entitled population in Metro Vancouver as well. It is overpriced with a milder climate. Raincouver.

[@kksparks]

thank you for this video

[@dbuc4671]

Chances r, absolutely nothing will happen to you if you just mind your own business and be alert, but if you are specifically looking to ensure your safety, avoid the downtown east side in whole in general, as well as Surrey Newton and New Westminster. Those r the areas that are really distinguishable from the rest of metro Vancouver for their high rates of crime.

[@yubaekkim6468]

800k to 1m is very affordable???

[@Jacqueline-l8p]

Happy christmas Happy New Year 2025

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Cheers to that!

[@SherriFlemming]

Have a cool yule. 2025 will be a great year! 💙🇨🇦

[@cthymnn2010]

Beautiful city. Would love to live there but obviously you have to be rich to live there which gives me anxiety.

[@sushixp]

The number of euphemisms here is impressive.

[@berniemorissette6101]

You find being one of the only Caucasions in Richmond "pretty cool and interesting". Interesting. Sunny disposition I guess.

[@samuelpratt642]

I don’t like your thumbnail. You make Langley look like a problem area. You should know better and do better in the future.

[@SherriFlemming]

There is no such thing as a 100% safe neighbourhood. Crime in every community.

[@dbuc4671]

No one asked…….

[@samuelpratt642]

@@SherriFlemming I get that, but including Langley with Surrey as a problem area? Especially places like walnut grove? No one in the lower mainland thinks that way.

[@Alyssa-xj1dp]

It is called clickbate so people click the video.

[@SherriFlemming]

@@samuelpratt642 There is crime in every community. Can check reported stats on crime mapping.
