Why is there side by side pooping toilets in the first house, aren't these pretty steep, like its either a tear down or you spend like $500 to renovate it. Isn't a 80-90s van special a better deal? Those are much newer and still assessed at $1.8ish right now. Also those trees on the corner house freak me out, so much maintenance leaves, branches + if it blows over you're fucked.

I think the tree has been there longer than the house itself.

Pretty sure that's a bidet next to the toilet. I think the pricing on both of those houses is $150-200k too high based on the current market and for both I think they make the most sense if the person buying is fine with not doing a renovation right away (or even in the next 10 years). Both houses look pretty liveable as is so if they're fine with it then it's a nice setup.
If you want to renovate and get it up to modern standards then, yeah, it's a $500k job minimum and then the pricing doesn't make a tonne of sense.

It's impressive how these materials have lived the test of time. I can only imagine a modern day build would have fall apart by now.

The issue with old houses in east van is if you buy for say $1.7m + $500k for a reno, you're basically going to take a L when it comes time to sell.

And speaking of EV chargers, my dad has a ticket so he’s going to install a 240V plug. The issue for me is I only have access to a 30 amp circuit in the garage so my max charging rate will be around 24 amps. Still better than standard charging.

I was under the impression this was getting rezoned for condos, but I guess the market for condos is in bad enough shape they decided to open a new long term lease instead?

Whattttt!!
Every prescription I'd ever had growing up, was filled at that LD. So much time spent in their dinky computer section browsing their PC games and playing demos. Can't believe it'll be gone forever.
Is the Honolulu Cafe gone now too?

The renovation / refreshing costs probably won't be too high -- other than the fact that they'll probably want to put a commercial kitchen in there as well, and commercial kitchens are just gonna cost what a commercial kitchen is gonna cost.
On the other hand, I feel like 88 is packing themselves too close to each other. Victoria & 32nd. Elliot & 49th. And now this as well? They are literally within 5 mins driving from each other if there is zero traffic. Maybe it makes their product delivery super easy? But I kind of feel like they are gonna take some businesses away from one another.

Weird. That Starbucks seemed to get quite a lot of business. Always packed whenever I stopped by.
What'd they replace it with?

Time for a RS Coffee Shop. Anyone want to give me $100k? I just need 5 of you to light some money on fire. All the chairs will be from 90's Civics.

There was a lot of discussion on retirement thread (I think) and how many people here on RS dreamt of opening a coffee shop. I think you can find some partners here!

nah they're not too close, the og vic drive and and killarney doesnt have as much density, sussex captures the joyce skytrain area too; it doesnt get more prime than kingsway and the terminal of 41ave as far as an asian market goes

We can do something like the Benzo cafe but instead of chopped up Mercs we'd do chopped up JDM cars. We'd name everything after car things like how a Viet coffee would be "VTEC Kicked In Yo" and the jumbo breakfast plate would be a 2JZ plate. It would be so confusing for non-car people.

That is one hell of a confusing menu. Had no idea this place existed. I think I want to try it the next time I'm in town.
