You'll find plenty of info all about how wonderful living in Vancouver is.

There is even more out there all about how it's the absolute worst and you should never move to Vancouver.

This isn't one of those podcasts.

I've realized that whether you love or hate living in Vancouver has a lot to do with perspective. Where you come from, what you've experienced and what expectations you have.

This podcast is all about trying to help you avoid moving to Vancouver if it's not going to work for you.

I've spent 18 years helping 100s of families move to Vancouver, and I've lived in Vancouver my entire life…I've had thousands of conversations with people over my lifetime about the good and the bad, and seen countless successes and many disasters.

These are the people that should NOT move to Vancouver. If you identify as one of the groups of people I describe in this video you'll most likely end up hating living in Vancouver and you should (after some careful self-reflection) move on to a city/place that would suit you better.

If you are thinking of moving to Vancouver this podcast just might be the most important podcast you've ever listened to.

Inside Tour of Commercial Street Village | Full VLOG Tour of this Vancouver Neighborhood

In my 50 years of living in Vancouver, I've spent a lot of time exploring every nook and cranny of this city. In this podcast, I'm sharing with you one of my favourite corners of Vancouver...and that's the Commercial Street Village.

Commercial Street Village is a little micro-neighbourhood in the NE corner of Kensington - Cedar Cottage and just on the southern edge of Commercial Drive. It's a neighborhood with a long, colourful history and today it's one of Vancouver's hidden gems.

Personally, I think more people should be aware of everything that this neighborhood has going for it. It's ideal for families, young professionals as well as downsizes looking for an urban experience at a great price.

If you are thinking of moving to Vancouver, the Commercial Street Village is a neighborhood you need to put on your radar. Come along with me as I show you exactly why you might want to live in the Commercial Street Village...but also why this might not be the neighborhood for you.
