Tsawwassen a good place to live?
 

Hi guys,

I am about to move to Tsawwassen from Vancouver, is it a good place to live, in terms of crime rate and such, and I heard the community is not too friendly to asians, is that true?

Went there for vacation for a week or so. Place is quiet but peaceful (at least when i went).

I am sure its a good place for vacation.. but I am more concerned if the population is unwelcoming to asian or not, especially when I have old parents..and I heard its one of the whitest community in BC

It's fine. It's nowhere near the whitest community in BC. You'd have to go deep into the interior in order to find that. ;)

You guys make Tsawwassen sound like a hick town. It's absolutely fine there. Surprised you've never been before moving there..

Why? Are you scared of white men?

tsawassen is so far away from everything except the ferries. I wouldn't move there.

my friend commutes from tsawwassen daily to dt vancouver. well, he use to until he changed jobs.

its a perfectly fine community, huge housing lots! but i did notice its fairly religious, lots of church's. but its far from being some hick town. looks like a good place to live, retire, start a family.

it's like any other city/town it has good and bad parts. Just one of those little places with a lower crime rate. They have some wicked neighborhood pubs thats for sure.

It's a quiet place, I don't see any sort of racism when I'm around there

You gotta go further east......after maple ridge is starting to become more and more white dominated.

stay in taiwan. noone likes you.

Okay, In Mission its white and Indian (cept around the Superstore) but what the hell... Abbotsford is like eastern Vancouver Sikh Ville.

tsawassen for a vacation?

forget disneyland kids. we're going to tsawassen! yay!

lolz

There's racism anywhere you go. Sometimes, it's subtle and at times, it's down right shitty. Just don't move to Merrit or Rosedale, LOL. KKK hot spots (or at least they used to be).

Just talk, walk, and act like everybody else and you'll be fine. Just don't hold lion dances in your front lawn or fly some foreign flag and you'll be just fine. Once people know you're cool, nobody's gonna give a shit. Oh yeah, don't put up any pie plates.

yeah i drive pass there to pick up packages from TSB shipping @ Pt Roberts.

If you're used to seeing asians driving MBs and BMW in vancouver/richmond

think again if you're in Tsawwassen

damnit we have the same avatar

What kind of bright bulb would move to a place BEFORE researching about it?

Heck even if "Tsawwassen has high crime rate" and "not too friendly to asian".. what are you going to do? Put up a sign and protest in your yard?

I vote for trolling.

Well first explain what you're looking for in a town/community.

Tsawwassen has:

-plenty of nice parks
-no bad/shady part of town
-most of the houses have large mature lots
-bunch of cheaper houses on the market right now that BC Hydro is selling underneath their newly upgraded overhead power lines (good or bad depending on the way you look at it)
-splashdown waterpark, paintball, f440 go-carts
-nice beaches and golf courses
-a good police department (an ipsos-reid survey concluded that 92% of delta's population expressed satisfaction with the delta police department) 92% is almost unheard of across canada.
-access to cheap gas across the border in Pt Roberts (no border lineups)

Tsawwassen does not have:

-many things for teenagers to do (bowling alley and movie theatre are gone)
-many pubs/bars, one local bar but its decent (there are more in ladner)
-things to do late-night
-homeless people
-a lot of crime (stated as a fact since my work involves local crime rates)


I grew up in Tsawwassen and have just recently relocated back to the area.

If you have specific questions just post em up.

I'm going to assume the OP is just a kid and still lives with his family...

well, its not my decision, its my parents, and I am a grown up now but still live with them at the moment. And I don't have problem with a white neighborhood, it is just I am afraid since its a very white community they may not welcome an old asian couple like my parents to move in.

Move to Richmond if you are worried about your parents feeling out of place.

I saw it was a thread created by DDauge and knew it I was going to fail him even before I read it.


Listen, if you're so obsessed with finding a place that isn't "friendly to Asians" it sounds like you have a serious complex. Odds are that you'll find a place that isn't "Asian friendly" no matter where you go.
Some guy cuts you off in traffic you'll think its racism. Someone budges in line at you at the supermarket you'll think its racism. If you buy a pair of shoes that has a broken shoe lace I can almost guarantee you'll cry racism.


Tool

so........ does this mean...........GOOD for http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...edosmiley2.gif? :haha:
