Would love to see spy balloon returning your stained coffin to Costco on top of the LC :lol

I believe they don't won't cremate you without a box, so you can't get away with paying for the casket.

For the price of an EV, get it now before it doubles in price.

Looks like an Italian neighbourhood. Probably really noisy and, considering their age, pretty racist.

whitev70r 12-19-2024 07:15 PM

^ that would be the worst, having to hear noisy racist Italians into eternity. No wonder dead people like to be with their own people.

Hondaracer 12-19-2024 07:19 PM

So weird.

If I remember correctly, a cardboard box is available. That would be the cheapest next to a pine box coffin

Illegal unless the property gets designated as a cemetery first.

whitev70r 12-19-2024 08:56 PM

^ but you can just spread your ashes in your backyard .. no one has to know.

Hilarious. If you happen to mention that to a Chinese guy they’ll lose their shit for sure and pull out of the deal. Good way to keep their deposit and sue them for non completion trolololol

Now Honda. Don’t you be pulling no white guy schemes here. Although it would be hilarious.

Re: Loud, racist Italians.

We grew up across the street from a family of Italians and their old man was racist as fuck. He would throw out the C-word in front of us and use every possible derogatory word towards anyone who wasn't Italian. But man, he would watch over the neighbourhood, invite us over for dinners, share wines with my parents, give us Christmas gifts and all. Not sure what to think of it now. :D

Gran Torino is one of my favourite movies mostly b/c Clint Eastwood's character is such a "loveable" racist. I dream of owning a house with a nice porch that I can sit on so I can be the same way in 20 years.

If it doesn't sell it looks like a great location for a Resident Evil reboot

JDMDreams 12-22-2024 05:44 PM

How butt fuck nowhere is that? Why would you even build that out there

Qmx323 12-22-2024 05:55 PM

Doesn't seem too out there, its 2 minutes from the Langdale terminal

Here is an undated listing at $17m, with pictures of it not in disrepair.

snowball 12-22-2024 06:11 PM

Lol what a dump, $60k property taxes a year, that's enough to make you go broke. And the lot includes some land on the other side of the highway! That's crazy.

From 2016

Colourful new signs, a Chinese language website, and listings with hotel booking services are fueling speculation about the future of a luxury home in Langdale.

The 21,000 square-foot (1,951 sq. m) chateau-style mansion on 61 acres (25 ha) was built in the early 2000s, and has become a landmark on the hill above the Langdale ferry terminal. It seems now that it may be destined for something other than the millionaire’s country retreat it was originally built to be.

The property at 1393 Port Mellon Highway was sold in June of 2015 for just over $6.6-million (it was assessed at $5,316,100 in 2015).

A note in the Globe and Mail’s Done Deals real estate feature, published shortly after the sale, said the property was purchased by “an offshore Chinese buyer” who also had a home in Vancouver’s Shaughnessy neighbourhood.

Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia documents show the property is owned jointly by Xuanwen Yang and Weiguo Jin. The title listing describes them as “businessmen” with mailing addresses in Vancouver.

This spring, the chateau started showing up on accommodation booking services like Expedia, Booking.com and Travelocity under North America Royal Aristocratic Castle, with room rates anywhere from $250 to $988 nightly.

The property is classed under the Sunshine Coast Regional District’s RU3 (Rural Use 3) zoning, which will soon change to the new AG (Agriculture) Zone. Much of the property is also within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

RU3 (and AG) property owners can operate bed and breakfasts under restrictions that include: no more than two bedrooms per dwelling, no rooms bigger than 28 square metres (301 sq. ft.), only one small sign outside, must be operated by the principal resident, and only one non-family member of that resident can be employed.

Officials with the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) said they have been following up with the owners on at least one bylaw complaint, but did not say if it was related to renting out rooms.

The property is also featured on a webpage hosted by BCBay.com, a Chinese-language news site carrying a lot of real estate stories from B.C. and the rest of Canada. Viewed through Google Translate, the webpage appears to show plans for future development, while making a pitch to potential investors and hospitality industry workers.

Ian Winn, SCRD director for West Howe Sound, said he has been approached by some constituents who have seen the website and are concerned.

The SCRD said they haven’t had any formal applications for rezoning or development permits but there have been “inquiries” from the owners.

Coast Reporter contacted the property owners to get more information about their plans, but they would not speak on the record.

It appears, though, that future development of the property may have been in the works from the time of the purchase.

The feature on BCBay.com makes reference to the North America Sunshine Tourism Corporation. The same Xuanwen Yang listed on the title of the property registered the company in June of 2015, around the same time the sale was going through.

Coast Reporter has also been told that the images and descriptions on the website for the North America Royal Aristocratic Castle are similar to documents in circulation at the time of the deal.

Yang fought the by-laws and the

by-laws kinda won??!

This mansion in Gibson could be used for hosting Halloween parties.

Black and white tiles in a kitchen. Victorian era vibe.

one thing i learned over time is that older generations that immigrated here and had to learn english... guess who they learned from... the locals... so back then they probably used all the non-PC terms for groups and it was acceptable... he just stuck in time with the local terms used back then. sounds like a great neighbour to have and very generous.
