well since you are already in the middle of nowhere, you might as well go up to Prince George, or 100 mile/160km house and make friends with yogi bear and honey boo boo.

I mean I’m all the way up in Hawkwood and I can drive to downtown core in 21 minutes. Not that I ever really go there to be honest.

I'm actually headed to Tuscany Village for dinner tonight so I'll get to see what it's like to be in the "sticks". Part of the appeal of Capitol Hill would be to be near the friends we're staying with - our kids are close in age and the idea of living steps from a friend or family member like that would be so great (we pushed my wife's brother really hard about building a duplex together for that reason - now's he's in the fucking sticks in Steveston).

After swinging by Chinook Center today the sprawl is really something here - feels like there's zero walkability here.

I can only handle seeing so many whiteys per day and Calgary's whitey per 100k count is way higher than Vancouver's. I keep hearing really nasty rumours here that Asian women are your crack cocaine so I gotta keep the wife away from you.

68style 07-22-2025 02:07 PM

Capitol Hill is only 11km from my house! Tuscany is actually a bit farther... slightly newer neighbourhood and last stop on the C-Train line. I was going to buy there, but the extra 5 minutes trip up Crowchild and dealing with 12 Mile Coulee being like the only fricking way out of the place made me skip it. I heard a rumour from long term Calgary people recently that they purposely made Tuscany hard to get in/out of to keep riff raff out hahaha

If you look up Crowfoot Crossing, I'm only 5 minutes walk from there so I can walk to anything that's there (3 grocery stores, tonnes of smaller chains, 5 banks, Keg, Joey's, Cactus Club, Indigo Books, Famous Players theatre) if I want to... but I rarely do.

It's not my fault that I'm a honeypot :(

JDMDreams 07-22-2025 02:23 PM

Can someone explain to me Calgary architecture?

There's some pretty 2000s modern wanna be houses for like $2-3m around dt. Then further north you can find like 2000s mc mansions for like $800k to $2m. Which I see no value cuz that's Vancouver prices.

JDMDreams 07-22-2025 02:35 PM

Like what the hell is this, I noticed they really like dark and brown colours.

It's not a rumour. It's true.

Nothing to explain, do the same search in Vancouver’s except your wtf house will be listed for $10M instead of $3M

I think Honey Boo Boo is a real person, not Yogi Bear's little buddy. :badpokerface:

Gerbs 07-22-2025 03:02 PM

If I had $3M i'm staying in van, y'all crazy

68style 07-22-2025 03:06 PM

Honestly if I had $3M I don’t think I’d stay in Canada at all… nothing appeals enough to me, Van is a shitshow in way more ways than just housing costs… the traffic alone is enough to drive you mad.

Go somewhere nice and warm and temperate year round without the rain.

You just described Southern California. See you at Deus. :ilied:

JDMDreams 07-22-2025 03:31 PM

So Jason 2000 was right. USA #1.

$3m in Calgary doesn't make sense, when you can buy 5000 sq+ houses in Burnaby, Coquitlam, white rock, Langley all day everyday.

westopher 07-22-2025 03:48 PM

Or just live in a fuckin normal sized house that’s nice.

Badhobz 07-22-2025 03:51 PM

normal? you mean a 500sqft peasant hovel they call an "apartment" nowadays? THOSE ARE TRASH! i grew up in one of those and look how poorly i turned out.

Is normal 1,500 sqft or 2,400 sqft

westopher 07-22-2025 04:34 PM

I mean, somewhere well under 5000 haha. We are a family of 3 with a dog in 1200 sq/ft and nothing about it feels small at all other than the bathrooms are a bit small. 1500 would be PLENTY.
I don’t get the point of taking your 3 mil and then moving into some tacky super mansion in Calgary for 3 mil. Move into a million dollar house and buy 5 awesome cars and still have a million dollars for vacations when you realize living in alberta makes you want to kill yourself for 7+ months a year.

Badhobz 07-22-2025 04:51 PM

thats cuz youre not a guangdong hoarder. 1500sqft would take no time at all to fill up full of trash

westopher 07-22-2025 04:56 PM

lol that’s the thing. Everyone’s parents back in Berta are the worst hoarders. Cosmo magazines from 1997? Absolutely. Clothes that smell like mothballs with holes in them? Of course. 300 dvd cases with no DVDs? Why not? It’s such a weird way to live. It’s like seeing those homeless dudes walk around with carts full of damaged PVC piping, 3 hubcaps and a rusty refrigerator compressor. Like what the fuck are you gonna do with that shit.

Avoid the northeast

Unless you just gotta have your daily fix of Marlborough Mall

Something like this is just over $1mill in a nice postal code

https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/2...ry-arbour-lake

Once the clearly old and white people move out, you can vaporized the odors away and start anew.

Edit again

https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/2...lgary-hawkwood

Some nice renovations and another decent postal code
