You want to see wild population growth, I bet Langley is the one to look at... although it could be confusing because there's the City of Langley and also the Township as well and they're not the same govt. It's bizarre. |
Does Langley have a downtown? I know Surrey has Surrey Central, but it doesn't really feel like a downtown. I feel like if these municipalities made a really good downtown in their city, that would create such a great atmosphere. I never really appreciate a high walk score until I got older. |
Downtown Langley is a shitty spot to be in imo. You’d probably much rather be in Walnut grove if you’re looking for things within a walk |
stolen from reddit. I keep hearing about "2900 units" but didn't know what that meant. surely there are more rental restricted units that are affected. Quote:
Doesn't mean those owners will instantly rent out their units - but they will at least now be subject to empty home tax. That was a nice little loophole. |

What a gong show: https://vancouversun.com/news/local-...-richmond-home Parents give $100k USD to son and daughter-in-law to pay for house to live together, which was sold and upgraded to a bigger house. Parents assume they would have part ownership of the new house, but then the daughter-in-law starts trying to push them out of the house, shutting off their internet and locking them out of the laundry room. Parents now suing the son and daughter-in-law because “As is common in their culture, the parties understood that the plaintiffs would live with Simon for the rest of their lives,” Son sounds whipped and daughter-in-law sounds like a B. |
^Them parents in the background had no clue what was coming for them :lol https://scontent.fyvr1-1.fna.fbcdn.n...ig&oe=63AF76C7 |

Not uncommon actually. Tons of shitty kids out there. My mom told me about how her friend's friend had this happen to them as well. |

I've seen a couple houses like that in the Norquay area where there's lots of stacked townhouses going up and there's a single house like that squeezed between to big townhouse units. |

i asked my parents about possibly putting their house in my name or 1 of my brothers names b4 they pass, my dads reply was pretty straight foward "why? so u can move in and kick us out? no chance" To this day i dont know if he was joking or not. My dad and mom told me many stories about kids taking there parents property or money so it is pretty common...... IMO they raised the kids so it shouldnt come as a surprise if 1 of there kids were capable of doing this. My dad told me which one of my brothers would do this. But then u have the daughter in law factor.......... |
School me on this but isn't their tax advantages to putting on before your parents die? But then if you have your own place also I'm not sure how it works on the empty home tax, principal residence bs. :concentrate::accepted:FeelsBadMan |

It’s really an ignorant way to operate and your parents are really just blindly cutting the govt. a cheque for nothing. Just have them write up a contract or somthing |

Hmmm for a 100k I wouldn’t even consider taking in my own fucking parents. That’s way too much work!!! Get the fuck out mom and dad !!! :accepted: |

To answer JDMdreams question. Theres a 2% tax on the property value. Please correct me if im wrong if anyone knows more than i do. |

One or all of you has to have ownership of the house to avoid this |

When my mother in law got terminally diagnosed she added her two kids to the house, bank account, vehicle ect. The transition was pretty simple when she passed away, they didn't have to do pay the lawyers or the Govt that much money. |
Yea, it’s incredibly important to sort that all out beforehand. Even if your parents are hesitant I think once you start laying out the reasons as to why to do things and how much money could be potentially lost to just beaucracy BS hopefully they will understand. This is unfortunately a thing people always keep puting off and puting off until somone dies a sudden, unexpected, death and now it’s a big headache. There’s no “pride” in not doing things correctly. You’re just creating a huge burden on your children etc. In not sorting these things out prior to your death. |
