You just made a blanket statement about Surrey, based on one incident.

Why do you say Surrey is the worst part of all BC?

Surrey is a large city, comparatively, in BC.

And in all large cities, there will always be bad parts within the city, and there will always be good parts.

So, if the same incident happened in Vancouver, would you have said the same thing?

Of course not.

You can't make a generalization of a city's liveability, reputation, or "how good" on one measurement (crime rate, affordability, etc.), let alone 1 single incident (your kit kat pin reference that was posted on another thread).

Lets talk about crime, for example:
Canada?s most dangerous cities 2011 ? Crime chart - Macleans.ca (http://www2.macleans.ca/crime-chart/)

It's not the top in BC.

It's quite high, but it is improving.

So, it's not the worst.

Affordability?

It is definitely more affordable than surrounding cities.

Families can actually grow in Surrey.

Schools?

There are great schools, private and non-private.

Location?

Centralized and within short driving distance to Downtown, and also to the USA-Canada border.

Job growth?

Surrey is a thriving city with businesses and large companies moving there all the time.

Population growth is a precursor to growing #s of jobs.

See the article here:
B.C. population outpaces national growth rate - British Columbia - CBC News (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-population-outpaces-national-growth-rate-1.1150659)

In the first sentence, it says:
"B.C.'s population is growing faster than the national average, with the cities of Surrey, Port Moody, Kelowna and Langford leading the way, according to the latest census data."

So, don't generalize based on 1 incident.

I didn't fail you because you are probably drunk.

I don't dread telling anyone...I'm a walking, talking, breathing example of what comes out of Surrey and I'm proud of it. I had originally put Vancouver in my profile back in 2003 and just a few months ago changed it to Surrey. I'm born and raised and proud of it.

And frankly, I could care less of what other people think of Surrey. What is this shit where you're sitting here looking at other cities in your country, province, region, and shitting on them? Stanley Cup riots took place and all people could do is talk shit about what cities they felt the rioters came from. None of it fucking matters! It's all CANADA, it's B.C. What do you get out of turning on neighboring cities? You don't like Surrey, then don't go there; plain and simple.

It's so pointless going back and forth people fighting for "reppin" their city and others fighting to destroy any dignity the city has.

I enjoy living in Surrey and I'm grateful of having Richmond, Burnaby and Vancouver around me. Wouldn't have it any other way. Either you're not smart enough to appreciate and take advantage of having so many decent cities in the lower mainland or you're too ignorant to expand your mind...

[dinosaur]

I'd have to say that I would rather live in Surrey than most known cities in BC.

By "known cities", I mean ones that most people have heard of...I have stayed long-term in several cities/towns in BC and Surrey doesn't even touch how terrible they are.

I'd also rather live in Surrey than Richmond.

Parm,

One proud product of Surrey another, well put. I credit the scholastic, personal, and professional success that I have partly to a Surrey upbringing.

It's a wonder. In one thread, people declaim resentment at the lack of community of the Lower Mainland. In the next, people persist with an incessant and unfounded hatred of anything connected to Surrey. All the while, they do not consider that the lack of community and the compulsion to hate others are likely connected. The former arising from the later. The previous Surrey thread effectively establishes that it's a good city, overall; not to mention, that it's a city very comparable to Richmond, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and so on.

I've encountered many people over the years who hate on Surrey just because their friends do, they have no real reason/personal experience and they're simply trying to be cool. Sure, its fun to have a laugh about the city's reputation every once in a while, but it's been said on RS many times before: there are shitty parts of Surrey, shitty parts of Van, Richmond, New West, Coquitlam, Burnaby... EVERY CITY in the lower mainland.

Talk shit about Surrey then come for a stroll in my neighbourhood, meet the people, maybe play 18 holes if you're into golf and I can almost guarantee you'll talk a whole lot less shit :)

I fully agree with everything you are saying especially since my comment was just be sarcastic.. I have lived in Surrey for 25 years and I'm proud of it. Every city has it's issues and with everything that Mayor Diane Watts has done it's completely change of what it's used to be.

If someone judges we on where I live they can fuck right off cause I have grown up here and like I said I'm fully proud of all the positive and some negative experiences I have seen through out the years.

It's sad when people are so closed and narrow minded just because of some stories they have heard in the past.

Yeah, there are positives and negatives for both....tbh, I think both cities are in the middle of a pretty good "revitalization".

Surrey is good for parks, convenience, schools, land, families, etc...New West has a great small community feel, younger crowd, good food, etc.

I own property in Surrey and currently live in New West. You summed it up well....there are good and bad parts to any city. Hell, even Richmond has Steveston...the rest of that city can go fuck itself thou :P

I'm just going out on a limb here but if it was a Langley resident trick or treating in Surrey, I'm guessing it was in the Clayton Heights or surrounding developments. And if that's the case, some how I wouldn't be terribly surprised. It's not that it's a bad neighbourhood, but I know there are a few assholes that live around there that wouldn't think twice at doing this sort of thing.

[twitchyzero]

what's wrong with Clayton Heights? I thought it was a young-family friendly neighbourhood

Like I said, it's not that it's a bad neighbourhood, but it's really the only true dense area between the two cities where one could pull a stunt like this and not worry too much about being caught. Everywhere else up and down the border is pretty barren.

Goes to show that every city has dirtbags (and ghettos, crime, etc)though, Surrey is no worse. It's just got that "rep"; which has been around for as long as I can remember. From a pricing standpoint Surrey makes a lot of sense for people. Some nice areas out there. Honestly, if I didn't work in Richmond I would probably buy in Langley or somewhere with land. If there was a good deal in Surrey I wouldn't let the stigma sway me, I'd look at all the factors the same way as any other city.

[El Bastardo]

Cloverdale is the same way... I don't really get it.


Cloverdale is one of those weird areas like Aldergrove that is located between two larger municipalities. It makes it harder to identify where someone is from if you just say "Cloverdale". Since its basically the border between Surrey and Langley it gets lumped into "Surrey" as Aldergrove is sometimes lumped into Langley as it serves as the border area between Langley and Abbotsford.

The same with White Rock. Everything south west of the freeway is basically White Rock. The imaginary boundary between Surrey and White Rock that begins at 16th avenue is a lot more ambiguous than highway 99.


"I live in Belcarra". "Oh, well thats nice of you to come down here to the city. Is that near Kelowna?"
"No. Its Belcarra. We're in the same area code"
"Where is that? Is that between Chilliwack and Hope?"
"Its near Port Moody"
"Oh, why didn't you say that then?"

[Gridlock]

where does that put south surrey then? if anything white rock is basically south surrey and not vice versa. If i lived in Anmore i would just say i lived in port moody, but if i lived in port moody i wouldnt go around telling everyone i lived in anmore

[MindBomber]

Cloverdale is the same way... I don't really get it.

It's just specificity. Surrey's a large community. In distinguishing between whether a person lives in Cloverdale, Fleetwood, Guilford, Fraser Heights, Newton, Whalley, or South Surrey a more accurate description is presented. Vancouverites show the same specificity. A Vancouverite usually distinguishes between whether they live in East Van, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, and so on. I don't see why it bothers people when Surrey folk do it, while Vancouverites doing it's no big deal.

[Inaii]

People from White Rock and Cloverdale get pissy when you say they're from Surrey. Other than a couple snobs I know from the West End, I've never come across anyone in Vancouver getting pissed off because you said they're from Vancouver rather than any of those places you mentioned.

That's the difference.

South Surrey = Just the southern part of Surrey to most.
I'd wager that your average East Vancouver suburbanite won't understand that there is a difference between the area around Morgan Creek and Whalley.
Surrey is an amorphous blob of a municipality where "bad things happen".

I think its time to divide the municipality into smaller districts so that those who spend 1.2mil on a home don't have the same as living in the same city that was once car theft capital of North America.

That's the difference.

White Rock is an entirely independent municipality. It's not correct to tell an East Van resident they live in Burnaby, nor is it correct to tell a White Rock resident they live in Surrey. The proximity of the four cities noted doesn't mean they're indistinguishable. I haven't met someone from Cloverdale like you describe, but you've noted you've met the same types of people from the West End. Vancouver and Surrey are thus not dissimilar on this front.

You've not proven your point.

[Lomac]

I haven't noticed too many people get upset when I call Cloverdale as being part of Surrey, but man oh man, so many of my friends live in White Rock/Crescent Beach and they haaaaate it when I correct them and tell them they live in Surrey. :lol Funny enough, the people I know who live in Morgan Creek (the expensive part, not the townhouse area) simply say they live in Surrey and don't bother distinguishing themselves from the rest of the city.

[parm104]

...hope you guys know that the mailing address for someone who lives in the Southern part of Surrey, actually does say "South Surrey." It's not an elitist thing at all but a simple representation of their address/location.

Morgan Creek isn't South Surrey, which is why people from there wouldn't mind saying they live in Surrey...go up the hill however, and you slowly enter the region of South Surrey.

It isn't a big deal really...I find more often than not (not saying I haven't run into some kiddos who feel the need to distinguish themselves saying they live in SOUTH Surrey, when really they don't) but it's people who live in the rest of Surrey who get irritated that there is a distinction between South Surrey and Surrey. Who cares lol. Let it be.

Interesting enough, I never hear about people getting upset at others for distinguishing themselves as "North Surrey." Curious as to what it is about "South Surrey" that always has people up in arms.


I think its time to divide the municipality into smaller districts so that those who spend 1.2mil on a home don't have the same as living in the same city that was once car theft capital of North America.

No, that's okay...we don't mind being associated with "Surrey." And yes, I was voted in last night to speak on behalf of all of South Surrey/White Rock/North Delta and whatever other region that might have a better rep than "Surrey" overall. :hotbaby:

The beauty of all this is...is that it's all TRIVIAL, irrelevant in the way the world works. Being apart of Surrey, South Surrey or Vancouver will not determine whether or not I get a job, whether or not I can afford a house or a car, whether or not I will enjoy the same rights and luxuries as the next person. It simple comes into play when someone wants to find me or needs to mail something to me.

[Lomac]

I used to always say I simply lived in "Langley." Not "South Langley," not the "Township of Langley," and not "Brookswood." A city is a city and even though Brookswood is/was the nice part of town, it seem silly to identify yourself with where you're from.

Just seems shallow.

[vitaminG]

it doesnt bother me when people say they live in south surrey, just as it doesnt bother me when someone says they live in fleetwood or newton or whalley. its people who live in south surrey who are ashamed that they live in surrey and say they live in white rock.

if you live in that white box, you live in white rock. if you live south of colebrook road and west of 200th youre in south surrey

When I lived in Morgan Creek I would tell people that I lived in south Surrey. Because honestly, fuck the North side with it's Whalley ghettos and 7 family Clayton heights homes.

Surrey used to be a nice place but it truly has become a city recently, bringing with it all the problems that go along with being a city. I wouldn't call it the worst place, by far. But it's not this utopia that some are calling it.

Morgan Creek isn't South Surrey

Morgan Creek is in South Surrey. I think anything south of the Nickel Mackel from King George (and further west to Crescent Beach) to 176ish is considered South Surrey.

The difference between "thinking" and "considering" and facts are huge...Morgan Creek, the original Morgan Creek not some shit developers made up afterwards like Morgan Acres or some townhouses that want to play off the idea of Morgan Creek...is in Surrey.

Lemme know what city the address there says, mmk.

who cares.. honestly.. sure have pride in your hometown but, every place has had its downturns and upturns..

So true. I grew up in a beautiful area. Postcard pretty. Down the road was a place everyone called "dogpatch". Tell you a litle something about what it was like?

[punkwax]

No one's address in South Surrey says "South Surrey." If its not White Rock, its Surrey.

It's considered South Surrey due to the geographical location in Surrey.

Let me know if you wanna continue, mmk. ;)

Haha okay, this is a pretty dumb argument. "No one's address" says South Surrey. Invite you come to check our mail kiddo.

Enjoy whatever address you want and whatever city you want to be apart of. To each their own. This is exactly the kind of argument that I had just said was pointless a few hours ago yet here I am taking part in it.

[punkwax]

I agree, the argument is dumb but google the address for Semiahmoo Mall. Couldn't be more South Surrey as it borders White Rock. The actual address is Surrey.

I've lived in South Surrey for a while. I've had mail say South Surrey as well, but the actual address is a Surrey address.

I was born and raised in Vancouver and never really got the whole "I'm from south Surrey" or "I'm from Delta", imo it's the same shit.

And on the topic of Delta...I was a bday party last month and my friends boss who lives in "Delta" starts going on a rant about Surrey so he's going on and on about how Delta is so much nicer than Surrey (this was news to me) and how the homes are superior so I go "isn't Delta basically Surrey?" Dude flips out, raises his voice starts going on a crazy rant about homes been worth more, less crime, less EI families (dude was EI, I'm EI?) and has more "richer" people living there.

Again this was news to me because Delta and Surrey look the same to me when I drive through both but I always find it funny when Surrey/Delta people flip out about what areas they live in. If you live in Shaughnessy or the the BP's you do have some bragging rights but bragging about different sections of Surrey? Vancouver? Delta? Come on now.

[Bouncing Bettys]

Growing up in Kamloops I refered to everything from Abbotsford to West Van as Vancouver. My extended family lived in White Rock but most people back home didn't know where that was.

When I moved to Bowen Island I found out it was a part of the West Van political riding. I could tell people I lived in West Van and they'd think I was money. Kids in highschool from Bowen have to attend in West Van and apparently they got made fun of for living there.

I would gladly choose Surrey over Abbotsford. Most of my things remain packed incase I find a better situation elsewhere.

[Gululu]

I (and most ppl I associate with) never have to go outside of vancouver, burnaby, Richmond (occasionally new west, coquitlam and north/west van). Surrey just isn't a priority to us . I personally have not stepped in surrey since forever and don't plan on going there anytime soon. Is good to see surrey is improving but that won't change ppl's impression. IMO, surrey will always be the shitty part in gvrd. :)

[MarkyMark]

The people who talk the most shit about Surrey generally are the ones who've never even been there. They hear stories and tell them like they are their own while living in their parents house in Richmond or Burnaby.

[SecludedGirl]

I had a argument once with claimed they lived in Richmond when really, they were in Queensborough area.

Hmm.. correct me if I'm wrong.. but I always thought that the Queensborough/Annacis Island/Starlight Casino area had ridiculous boundaries drawn.. where anything up to the casino was still Richmond, past it would be part of New West, and beyond that onto Annacis was Delta? So basically you'd be able to drive through all 3 cities in a matter of 5-10 mins lol!

So... it might not be the Richmond that we all think of when people say they live in Richmond.. but from where the boundaries are drawn.. it's still called Richmond?

[dinosaur]

I never knew people referred to Queensborough as Richmond....your peeps are cray cray.

I like Surrey. Personally yeah if I had a reason to sure I'd live in Van or whatever. But it makes the most sense to stay here. My family is here, friends, school (kinda... it's close in Ladner) and I live in a nice neighborhood. No reason to leave and it's affordable.

Don't get me wrong theres areas in Surrey I would never live in and rarely visit for good reason.

Rootin' Tootin' Newton, North Surrey, Whalley/Surrey Central, All of King George and Scott Road etc. I spend my time in Fleetwood/South Surrey/WR. The "goodish" areas of Surrey and really enjoy it. I'm likely moving into WR/S.Surrey area in January. Has everything I need and close to a nice beach and the freeway into Richmond/ladner.

A record number of homicides in 2013 for the city of Surrey earns this thread bump.


SURREY (NEWS1130) – Homicide investigators say the 53-year-old has died.

She was found unconscious in the arena’s parking lot on Sunday night.

The victim has been identified as 53-year-old Julie Paskall of Surrey; she was either picking up or dropping off her son, who was refereeing a game, at the time of the attack.

IHIT says it was an unprovoked attack and the motive appears to be robbery.

No arrests have been made and police still want to talk to witnesses.

This is Surrey’s 25th homicide of 2013.

I have worked in Surrey, I have friends who have grown up in Surrey and friends who are current members of the Surrey RCMP. They all say the same thing... Stay the hell out Surrey. This is not a safe city to raise a family.

Fail me all you want, the stats speak for themselves. :okay:

RIP to a hockey mom. Not a criminal or drug dealer. A hockey mom.

This type of shit can happen anywhere. But come on, once you hear a story like the hockey mom or some kid getting beat up at a skytrain station, most people instantly think of Surrey. Which is unfortunate because Surrey has some really nice areas.

I agree I am being an arrogant prick, but that's because the internets let me. :nyan:

My whole reason for bumping this thread was the homicide statistic for the city of Surrey before the end of 2013.

Then sure enough, less than 120 mins into 2014, Surrey RCMP are chalking up another stiff. Technically speaking, the homicide rate in the city of Surrey for 2014 is already on the rise. There is 19 year-old woman in the morgue already, and if you look at the pics provide by media outlets, this tragic event occurred at a fairly new building. Its pretty hard to just lean on the railing of new balconies and accidentally flip over. I think we can safely assume someone assisted in ensuring the body went over. Reports are saying she fell from the 26th floor.

As they say on Monday Night Football... C'mon Man!! :eek: These posts and threads exist because the events are real. Surrey Jacks do exist. The police have one in custody right now.

im more scared driving though Gastown and the surrounding areas than anything in Surrey.

I dont live far from Newton exchange and I will admit with all the development around Surrey Central, Newton is becoming the new hotspot for these skids to hang out and cause issues.. but I also dont take transit so its something I occasionally drive past and dont think twice about

Other than Whalley, the rest of Surrey is alright and actually a nice place for a family. I lived here my whole life and I honestly worry more about someone breaking into my car when I park it in East Van, South Burnaby, and even Downtown. Is something wrong with me?

I heard numerous case of window smashing in South Burnaby all the time especially on kemp street / wilson avenue. If you drive pass there right now, you can see shattered glass on the floor.

[BrRsn]

In all honesty, having lived in Vancouver all my life I've come to realize two things:

1) My friends in surrey have real bedrooms with attached personal washrooms/walk-in closets and real backyards for barbecues (Surrey house parties = a real party whereas vancouver house parties = awkwardly cramming 50 people in 1200 sq feet of space ... reminds me of highschool 'hotel parties' lul)

2) If I ever want a house with a real backyard (I'm sorry but the 30x120 and 50x120 lots in vancouver are decent for living, you don't have much space at all -- hell most vancouverites can't even own a big dog because their backyard simply isn't big enough for them) I better be prepared to pay upwards of $2 million (in our current market) to get a lot that's decently sized (60-70x120-150 or bigger) and then spend $1 million building it (i.e. bigger lots = shaughnessy/west-end areas = having to abide by their building/standards bylaws for a new house = spending a helluva lot more making a house than say in east van).

Crime's a moot point TBH. I'm young and I love living in vancouver -- 90% of my driving is 5-10kms or less. However, when I want to have a family I need to decide whether I wanna cram a bunch of kids into a 3500 square foot house for 1.1 million dollars, or 1.6-1.8 million dollars for a 5000 square foot house in killarney/renfrew/etc (.. and even more for west-end)

Pisses me off that for $2 million the best I can get is a 5000 square foot house that looks no different than the one 5 feet away from it.

Oh also, fun fact, career planning right now. Almost every career I can get into is saturated as hell in Vancouver whereas the demand is high in abbotsford/surrey/whiterock/langley -- i.e. everywhere but vancouver.

So .. what to do?
Commute 2 hours everyday and live in a crammed house I paid too much for, choke on mortgage payments, and be unable to afford any of the luxuries I promised to myself, live in a central location but be unable to afford the time/money to do anything because I have to work full-time to keep my shit together.

Or ..
say fuck it, live in the burbs, cut mortage payment in half but be unable to claim the notoriety of vancouver


tl;dr

crime is a moot point
living in vancouver is only fun for young people
eventually everyone will face the decision of staying here or leaving -- eventually it's gonna get to the point where only the affluent and the nearminded stay in Vancouver (by nearminded .. I mean all those people working dead-end jobs living in yale town :fuckthatshit:)

[thumper]

Oddly enough, both times I've had my car broken into I was at Metrotown. Worked for 2 years at central city mall and nobody touched my car. Go figure.

egh. the car may be safe, but... in the 3 years i have been working off and on at central city, i recall the mall going into lockdown because of a gang fight, an assault on a female office worker in one of the stairwells in the parkade (which eventually led to the new emergency call boxes that have now been installed), and last october the rcmp blocking entry and exit into the multistorey parkade because they had chased a car thief inside who ditched his stolen ride and they were trying to flush him out. on occasion we see transit police chasing someone across the surface parking lot (target) from the skytrain station and we have nicknamed it the transit police marathon.

and of course there was the murder of maple batalia in the sfu entrance a few years back.

and of course there was the murder of maple batalia in the sfu entrance a few years back.

Now .. is it just because it's surrey or is it because the skytrain serves as an easy escape and cheap transportation for less than well-to-do individuals?

I worked on commercial/broadway for 5 years -- heart of vancouver and a huge skytrain hub linking the millenium line and the expo line. Twice I saw the security guard getting punched in the face/head for not letting shady customers in close to closing time. Tons of theft, lots of drunks/crackheads/methadone users coming in at 6am to get their pills and causing a ruckus. The public bathroom was disgusting in my 5 years there I never stepped foot in it but always got complaints of blood/customers locking themselves in there for extended periods of time/someone died in there.

We would routinely have people come in, open up bottles of the brown listerine and just slam it back to get drunk, or drink hand sanitizer to get drunk. Tons of stupid/violent shit. One night someone broke in using a sign and stole a bunch of cigarettes and left, all while 6-7 workers were inside working. All this with a heavy police prsence in the area.






Petty crime happens everywhere. In terms of women being assaulted in stairwells, well ... look at UBC. Some of the most expensive real-estate in vancouver and women have routinely been attacked there, and the attacker hasn't been caught.

Excuse my colloquialism for a moment here, but there have been numerous sociologists/psychologists/philosophers/government agencies who have tested/reaffirmed the theory that basically whatever you are fed by the media as being a problem will become number one on your personal agenda as being a problem wherever you are. I could tell you the number one selling car is a Nissan Juke, you will start seeing it everywhere. I could tell you the highest number of rapists in canada live in Burnaby -- you will instantly label anyone in that area with a moustache and other 'tell-tale characteristics' as a potential rapist.




Anyways, we all love to hate on surrey. It's fun, I do it all the time but do I personally believe it? Nope. Sure we go out clubbing run into surrey jacks, but are they really representative of the population? Think about it -- if you're in your early 20's and are a well-to-do individual, are you gonna be using dad's President's Choice Mastercard to go out clubbing in a town 40km away, or are you gonna stay nearby, go somewhere local and hangout with friends in an intimate environment?

Food for thought. If you really believe the surrey hype you should pick up a fucking book and stop being a degenerate

Suspicious death in Surrey a 41yr old woman was found dead

RCMP investigating suspicious death in Surrey | News1130 (http://www.news1130.com/2014/01/07/rcmp-investigating-suspicious-death-in-surrey/)

SURREY (NEWS1130) – Surrey RCMP are investigating what they’re calling a suspicious death.

A 41-year old woman was found dead inside a home on 115 Ave. near Bedford Dr.

Police say they’ve previously been called to that same home, but have no further details yet.

I think it really all depends on what you value in life... If you work downtown and want to live in a big house with a back yard and you're not making $$$, you'll be living in the suburbs spending a lot of time in traffic/on transit.

For example, most people work 9-5. If you live in Surrey, you're spending 45 mins to an hour getting to/from work everyday. So, you're getting up around 6:30-7am to get ready, eat breakfast, get in your car / get on the bus/skytrain, and get to work for 9. Then you leave at 5, get home for 6, eat dinner, watch some TV, enjoy your big house/back yard for an hour, then go to bed and repeat the same for the next 5/7 days. So in reality, you are enjoying your big Surrey house for about 3 hours a day, not including weekends...

As opposed to, you live downtown in an apartment, 15 mins away from your work, where you can walk or take a cab if it's raining/snowing/too cold. So you get to sleep longer, get home after work sooner, have more time for hobbies/activities, don't have to spend hours in traffic/dealing with idiot drivers, etc...

For me, I'm not planning on getting married any time soon or even when I do, I'm only having 1 kid. I won't need a 5 bedroom house. So, I would much rather be closer to work/work from home so I have time to do other stuff/spend time with my family.

On another note, everyone is saying that you can get a decent sized house for a reasonable amount of money in only Surrey. Last I looked, houses in Coquitlam, Poco, Pitt Meadows were similarly priced and you don't have to deal with the Surrey stigma if you want an "affordable" decent sized house

OT but,
Did anyone hear the actual story about 'the surrey three'?


coles notes:

Their story = went into club, bartender told them "Surrey's thataway! GTFO"

Actual story (corroborated by some friends present there) = Was a busy night, they tried to save seats for a lot more people than were actually present. As a result, server gave them a smaller table. They decided that they wanted a bigger one for their friends (that were going to be late, obviously, brown-standard-time) so they just moved themselves. Missing some details here, but they eventually poured drinks all over the bar tender's computer/Point Of Sale as they were leaving/paying, prompting the bartender to tell them to GTFO and "go back to surrey"

Is Whalley where Gateway skytrain is?

[Red-nijzllab]

All surrey skytrain stations are in Whalley, which is why everyone who goes to Surrey by skytrain thinks all of Surrey is like that.

*I'm not sure if Scott Rd is considered whalley, close enough though.

[falcon]

Scott Road and King George are kind of pushing it. Surrey Central and Gateway are both definatly Whalley.

A year or so ago some guy I know sent me a link to some crazy whore he met on PoF. She was hot, but she was pregnant with some Surrey gangsta douche who looked like the most stereotypical white trash dude you could imagine. Pitbull, tattoos, huge chrome gaudy wheels on some piece of shit SUV, frosted tips, Tap-Out shirts, giving the finger in every photo, like seriously every trait you'd expect a thug type character to have, he had. She has a PoF account and apparently cheats on this guy when he's out doing shady shit or when they fight, and this guy I knew boned her and wasn't sure if the kid was his or not.

The best part was they lived across from Surrey Central skytrain and they both loved to take selfies of each other while on the balcony so you could see the Skytrain station. I remember browsing their profiles and being like "This is internet archaeology" and I'm the Indiana Jones of mother fucking Surrey trash. These two were like the Temple of Doom and The Lost Ark being in the same place at once, it was incredible. Like the stereotypes were all present and if you asked me to take a photo to show "white trash Surrey couple" I could not have created a more true-to-life artistic scene as those two.

I know I come across as an elitist prick when I write this, and I might even have found things I had in common with them. Perhaps we share a love for 80's wrestling, a common beer we like, or share a mocking attitude towards the Canucks. They might even be decent people at times, I didn't know them, but it is hard to not judge a book by that kind of cover ya know?

A friend of mine who lives out there even reported seeing a couple clown-makeup juggalos walking around Surrey. When you have a few juggalos you're going to soon have an infestation of juggalos, and Surrey is like the perfect breeding ground.

Was listening to the radio this morning and couldn't help but laughing at this ongoing debate about the distribution of police officers in the GVRD.

The surrey PD is comparing themselves to new west, port moody, and west van. Claiming those departments have more PO per capita. Which is true, but if you look at it, most of the municipalities on their list, are separate PD's. They are not RCMP like surrey is.

I don't disagree that Surrey needs more policing, but for them to ask the gov't to redistribute more PO's from other areas to theirs because they have a higher rate of severe crime is ridiculous. The population of these municipalities pay a lot of fee's and taxes for their police, I can only imagine the outrage of other residents paying for extra PO's to police surrey, while the residents there get to continue cheaply living in their huge 5000sq/ft houses....

For reference:

[RRxtar]

It is my understanding that municipal governments dictate and hire the number of RCMP officers serving their area. The RCMP supernintendo recommends X number of new officers and the municipality decides if they can afford it or not. If they hire more cops, the officers are paid in municipal tax dollars.

If surrey wants more cops, raise taxes and hire more cops.

I'm certainly no expert, but from what I understand, yes, this is how the system is supposed to work; however, in this situation residents have stepped in and started some sort of mis-informed movement to re-distribute a large number of PO's to the neighborhoods with the greatest amounts of severe crime, and the Surrey RCMP has endorsed the initiative saying how the system isn't fair.

And it really just leaves everyone like :fulloffuck:.

I don't know much about New West, Port Moody, or some of the other cities mentioned, but I do know West Van, and the residents there pay out the ass for benefits like their own PD and other amenities like the blue bus system and the list goes on. It makes no sense to take the money that that municipality has raised and use it to fix Surrey's problems. The people of Surrey choose to live there to some degree, be it for reasons like the fact they want a bigger house, or family lives there or any number of other reasons, they chose those amenities. I don't want to say they chose those amenities over safety, but obviously they had to know the downfalls of the neighborhood they were buying into.

Either way, I do believe much of surrey could benefit from better policing, but the answer is not to pull police from other places just to make up the difference.

RCMP are short staffed everywhere because of municipalities deciding on lower numbers. Cops are being over worked and burned out in the busier areas.

I think many people on RS would find themselves at home in those cities. Lots of blue collar jobs, cheap housing, and a place to work on their stable of 5-6 cars, bike, quad, etc. The only thing that would suck about living in those cities is getting parts to service the toys - you'd have to pay local distributers an arm and a leg, or wait like 2-3 weeks to get an exhaust shipped from the States to the Peace River.

Finding a wife might be difficult too, I suppose, because how many good looking and smart women stay in small towns? Not many, I reckon.

Its a bunch of little things that contribute to it being a racist place. That, and there are no jobs there. Its a town full of minimum wage service positions so there are next to no opportunities there.

Its good in short doses I'll bet though. As a tourist and all.

Each town has its own seedy elements if you spend enough time there. For instance, I legitimately like Duncan. I always thought it was a nice spot situated in a great little valley with easy access to both Victoria and Nanaimo. But I've also heard the "Drunken Duncan" stories.
Any place sounds like the worst place in British Columbia if you read enough of the local paper. Except for Surrey. This place really is the worst place in British Columbia.

Currently living in a shitty, small town. Not complaining too much, though. 22 acres on the top of a hill that I can snowmobile on in the winter and 4x4 during the summer... 10 minute drive from a super popular river float pick up point, so there are a million hotties during the warm season. Sure, getting car parts kinda sucks 'cause I'm no longer a two minute drive from the border, but gas is super cheap up here (filled up the other day @ $1.06/L) and I've got a hugely discounted account with Lordco, so replacement parts rarely cost me more than what I'd be paying at RockAuto anyway.

Best of all, no fucking Lower Mainland traffic. I'll gladly take the monthly semi-truck roll over on Hwy1 between Sorrento and Chase over Hwy1, 10 and 99 clusterfucks back on the Coast.

Women in the valley are different from women in the towns on the list. The valley is still pretty urban, so there are opportunities to make a decent living and/or settle down with a high-earning, good-looking guy.

However, women from small towns tend to leave for the big city/Lower Mainland. Chat up any waitress working at the triumvirate of chain restaurants and you'll discover that many of them are from the interior. Young women come here, make good money (cash), live the yuppie lifestyle (whether its downtown or in Kits), and spend their spare time partying and shopping. Then, hopefully before they're 30, they'll find a good guy to settle down with. Their opportunuties for that lifestyle are prettty limited in small towns.

People say this, and TBH its normally Asians who say this, like the real asians, chinese people, japanese people, koreans, etc.

The truth is that no, it isn't the same thing. If you go back historically, and I am speaking as an iranian on this, but the story is simillar for Indian's and a lot of other middle eastern countries, we are decendants of the Arian race. Whereas Asians quite simply are not.

By your logic, russians are asians, but thats not exactly true now either, or another good one is that Jesus was Asian due to the fact that jerusalem is in "asia".

So no this generalization does not work, the middle east and "asia" are two very different places, and in general have a pretty clear divide.

EDIT: oh and I would refrain from calling people "a goof" online, because I do not know you and you do not know me, so I could easily mis-interpret this and think you are calling me by the very inappropriate meaning of the term.

I know exactly why they are calling me asian, my point was that while technically I may be "asian", calling me asian in reality is not really fair.

When we refer to someone as asian in day-to-day society, we are talking about chinese people/ japanese/ korean, etc. When you refer to someone from india, or iran, or serbia, etc. most people would call them brown.

Again this has nothing to do with skin colour, so do not get that impression, this simply has to do with how the word is associated. As I previously mentioned if you were describing a russian friend of yours would you refer to him as "an asian buddy of mine"? Probably not.

About the term Goof, while it can be harmless in many contexts, I do not recommend anyone uses this word, as some people can take it as extremely offensive. I would rather be called an idiot or stupid, than be called a goof.

I'm pretty sure you are talking about Aryan which is not really a race. Nor would it be politically correct to consider yourself Aryan given the political context of the term. I'm pretty sure the jews would like to have a talk with you and your iranian relatives who call themselves Aryan.

You apparently have a very short understand of history.

Just because Aryanism/Arianism (i have seen this spelled both ways I think the former is the more current usage) was used as a qualitative requirement by the Nazi's it does not mean that Aryan's agree with the philosophy. Also it the word was there long before the Nazi's so it is not something that will go away just because it was tied to a very unfortunate Genocide.

You guys have to understand that the Persian empire at one point encompassed much of what is now europe. Many of the Iranians in Vancouver and California, are atleast in part Zoroastrian, which means we direct descendants of the persian empire, very different from a lot of other Iranians. I guess the most easily identifiable comparison would be French-canadians and other canadians. While we both live and come from the same country the two are not exactly one and the same...

Bags of stolen mail and ID recovered in North Vancouver
Mounties say 500 people or more may be affected by the theft
Jason Howe January 29, 2014 5:49 pm

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – You’re being reminded thieves want your personal information, and it comes amid concerns Canada Post cuts could make your mail more vulnerable.

RCMP in North Vancouver have discovered bags of stolen mail and identification.

Mounties continue to sift through everything and say hundreds of people’s mail, credit cards, passports, driver’s licenses, have been recovered.

Corporal Richard De Jong says it’s the result of a traffic stop a couple of weeks ago.

They discovered the stash inside a rental van. “The property that we can link it to right now is from actual robberies, break and enters, thefts from vehicles, thefts of vehicles , mailbox thefts.”

De Jong says as many as 500 people or more may be affected. “Certainly it covers the scope of identification that is stolen and then used for identity fraud, which is very significant, of course, in society today.”

A 27-year-old Surrey man has been charged.

RCMP think they have come across some kind of mobile operation that covered a number of Metro Vancouver cities.

Sh*t Surrey Jacks Say: PART TWO - YouTube

[adambomb]

RCMP say at least two men pushed their way into a home in the Strawberry Hill neighbourhood of Surrey, B.C., and held four children and two caregivers hostage for a short while around dinner time Wednesday night.

No one was seriously injured, but four young children were tied up during the home invasion.

He calls himself Freedom, and he tells underage girls he’s in the music business. He’s got a record for criminal harassment, and he’s been stalking females in at least one Surrey recreation centre. When he’s rejected, he becomes furious. Surrey RCMP know about Freedom’s recent actions, but say they don’t have grounds to charge him. :blueguy:

“We aren’t safe living in Surrey,” Duncan said. “My daughter is afraid to go outside. She’s 15, and she should not have to face something like this. No woman should.”

15k reward boys

Bus drivers? union offers $15k reward for info on latest assault | CTV Vancouver News (http://bc.ctvnews.ca/bus-drivers-union-offers-15k-reward-for-info-on-latest-assault-1.1670533)

The man boarded the bus at 168th Street and Fraser Highway, and made a “very offensive” comment to the driver, according to transit police Cst. Kevin Goodmurphy.

Soon after, he began singing, yelling racist comments, and intimidating six other passengers on the bus.
When the driver made an announcement for passengers not to swear, the man directed his aggression towards the driver.

As the bus pulled into Surrey Central, the man approached the driver, punched him and took his sunglasses before running off the bus.
The driver followed him into the waiting area where the alleged attacker punched him again. The driver then headed back to his coach where the suspect returned only to punch him a third time.

So if that dude calls crimestoppers himself and pleads guilty to complete the conviction can he claim the $15,000?
