"We have been living in West Vancouver for the last 2 years. It is a very strange place indeed. Locals seem unfriendly, transient, and in debt."

“We have been living in West Vancouver for the last 2 years. It is a very strange place indeed. We have found it to be a very unfriendly place – on the surface people seem pleasant enough but it’s almost impossible to get beyond general pleasantaries. Knocking on the neighbours doors to introduce ourselves was met with a complete lack of interest. The driving is nerve racking and not necessarily caused by the elderly. Any close calls in the car has been caused by some youngish self absorbed individual on the phone. We have been disappointed in the massive turnover of property in the surrounding neighbourhoods – house after house is listed or sold. After living overseas for a long time, we wanted to move to a community where neighbours knew each other and friendships were formed. It’s become apparent that Ambleside, Sentinel Hill, Dunderave is very transient. And lastly, with respect to the debt that people must be carrying here? I think it’s all got to be an illusion.”
