Vancouver homes and buildings, murals

I loved the range in buildings and homes. You'll spot a small, reasonable bungalow, and next door a huge place. The land is worth so much. Many have big bucks and want to live in Greater Vancouver.
The cost of living downtown is huge. Richmond was being built up in the 80s, part of Metro Vancouver, as well as other suburbs like Surrey, includes about 2.5 million. It's a grand city.



This was a hoot!


Then there are the murals!
They have redone the legion.

A lot of modern architecture there, and I notice some Asian influences!

From small to tall, and magnificent!!! I always wonder who washes all those windows, specially the outside ones??? Cleans the spouting? And the rates and insurance? Lovely street scenes from your camera.

Such a difference in building styles. We also noticed in Victoria that they will use any piece of land and build on it, making for some unusual sized lots and steep driveways.

I really enjoy how you let your photos do the talking...so wish I was seeing the places for myself.

Some places are a bit haphazard. I find Vancouver depressing when it rains and is dark.

The house prices are CRAZY there. I don't know how anyone can afford it except for the very rich.
