REALTOR.ca -Property Details F1220129

Imagine if I bought this place. 200k, near Skytrain, view.

On paper, having property and a mortgage would look good.
In practice, living there would suffocate my personal growth.

What would inspire me in that neighborhood?
What beneficial social circles would I meet living there?
What are the types of people I would meet here as opposed to living in Gastown?
What style would I develop from the sights and sounds around me?


When I made twice or three times as much as I made monthly now, I was bored. I lived in the suburbs and my growth was extremely limited. Very little art, people were static, and the style was so bland.

You and I have vastly different ideas of what "wealth" actually is.
