Is it really so bad to get a condo instead of a townhouse if you have a set budget?

@lovelycamillia Langley people don't leave Langley.

I grew up there, going to the city was a special treat that you'd do twice a year.

Eventually I moved from Langley to Surrey, no one I knew in Langley was willing to make that journey, too far, didn't want to park in *gasp* Surrey (even though I had secured underground parking)

I eventually moved from Surrey to Vancouver, and still see my Surrey friends on the regular... but the Langley people... special events and weddings, and usually only if I make the journey out that way.

Your friends are Langley people now; they're gone.

@lovelycamillia Bad for you. I moved from Vancouver to Chilliwack last year. I have friends coming over more than before since they often stop here when they go to Cultus or Interior. In fact I had friends from Vancouver today.

@christopher0121 Lol Chilliwack is really super far. You cannot convince me otherwise.

@cjaz23 You should try driving it. It’s far easier than North Van to White Rock or West Van to Richmond.

 

[cjaz23]

@right2smile Nah, once that highway 1 becomes 2 lanes and no HOV, thats my definition of far

 

[cjaz23]

Plus all the other places you mentioned have restaurants and commercial centers you can visit. Chilliwack has like cottonwood mall. So chances of me wanting to go somewhere is really high.

@christopher0121 Sounds like your friends are using you as a pit stop, rather then actually coming out to see you.

 

[christopher0121]

@mallory864 Nope. My friends are my good friends who love spending time with me and my family in our beautiful place! Peace out

@christopher0121 you’re absolutely right that in 10 years Abbotsford and Langley will look very very different

an hour from Langley to downtown Vancouver via skytrain
