Kelowna Has Problems Too

I have just moved from Kelowna to Vancouver. R.H. sounds like he is describing Kelowna, not Vancouver. He is totally out of touch, there are not hundreds of thousands of homeless, drug users, or bums on the street. I think he should wander downtown in Kelowna and check out his homeless, drug addicted, etc. B & E's are not epidemic. They are proportional for a city of some 4 million people. You have the same (if not worse scale) in Kelowna, a city of 100,000.

I agree it is expensive to live, but I found Kelowna has a higher cost of living. Except for housing costs, everything in Kelowna costs more, from groceries, to fast food, to gasoline, and yes, including property taxes. I paid considerably more tax on a house assessed at $328,000 than I am paying on my Richmond house assessed at $450,000.

Perhaps those looking in the mirror should see themselves.
