Is Nanaimo BC Too Remote? Living on Vancouver Island Canada
Вставка

- Nanaimo is called the "Hub City" due to its central location on Vancouver Island, which makes it a transportation hub and a center of commerce, industry, and services. The city's location on the east coast of Vancouver Island allows it to serve as a gateway to other communities on the island, as well as to the mainland of British Columbia via ferry and floatplane connections. This has helped establish Nanaimo as an important hub for goods and people, making it a vital part of the region's economic and social infrastructure. The nickname "Hub City" reflects Nanaimo's important role in connecting the many communities and businesses of Vancouver Island and beyond.

@@Nanaimore lol, I'll get on that right away
Very helpful. We're moving to Nanoose Bay in July and are so excited!!
But we are surrounded by naysayers -- "You're going to hate it, there are only 3 restaurants", "It's way colder and rainier than White Rock", "You'll be at the mercy of BC Ferries", etc.
Make sure you watch the latest video about Fairwinds in Nanoose. You’ll love it here and all the things you can do. Make sure you eat at the Rusted Rake Brewery. It’s amazing food.
You should do one on how expensive it is now to live here now.
On it
Love the video. Two things to add: 1) there will soon be a Fast Foot Ferry between downtown Nanaimo and downtown Vancouver, in addition to the 2 BC Ferries routes; 2) there is now a BC Ferries mobile app that would allows easier checking schedules and booking.
Very nice video with needed info ❤
This video is amazing! I will go to nanaimo in July from Shanghai.
That's a great time of year to visit! Safe travels.
There is a Chinese Buffet Restaurant called the Shanghai City near the Departure Bay area, since you said you will be travelling from Shanghai.
hows that goin for ya
Trees, ocean, golf, boating, weather. But that's it. Your stuck. It's the wild west. Too dark in the winter. Earthquake? Fire potential is scary. It's a desert environment in the summer. 2 lane highway to Victoria and airport. You make it seem easy to "hop" onto a ferry or boat. It's not so easy. Driving is easy.
Trees, ocean, golf, boating, and weather. That’s all you need in life except your loved ones.
These are very helpful videos. I had a quick question for you. My wife and I live in Northern California. I am looking at the possibility of purchasing a condo or townhouse in the future on the Island. My wife has dual citizenship. Is there any advantage to this?
Also it seems that property taxes can be very different depending on what part of the island you are purchasing.
Any comments on these things? Thanks!
You have some amazing vids! Question, I am a college student looking to move to the island, how is life for the young people? Ive heard from a few people that the island is more like a retirement community; is there any life for younger people?
There are lots of things to do for the young, and I see more and more young faces popping up. Get on it before it is too late. There is the Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo which is constantly increasing its student population. There are so many fun things to do in the nature - many great trails that you don't have to drive an hour to get to, there are dives, there are great beaches, there are mountains to climb, there are crabbing, clamming and beach combing, there are so many beautiful awesome sceneries. It is paradise on earth, and probably the warmest place in Canada. Just be aware, the weather is varied and great during spring, summer and fall, but gets rainy during winter.
Best thing to do in Nanaimo is hit the cheap gas station while you're waiting at all the beautiful red lights our city has to offer. If you value scenery and traffic jams, Nanaimo is a great place to gas up for the Highway 19 experience.
You didn't watch this: ua-cam.com/video/QuPxG0L-nqc/v-deo.html
@@Nanaimore I agree with your first point, however, Highway 19 only has a tiny fraction of Nanaimo's many red lights. (And they want to keep adding more).
Hey! What are your thoughts on Extension? Is THAT too remote??
Extension road leads you through Chase River, Cinnabar, and the town of Extension which was a mining camp in the past. It’s not a far drive from downtown. If your looking for something rural it’s a fantastic area to target.
bro i hate extension its a driving nightmare
As a long time resident of Nanaimo, and fortunately living on the outskirts of the city on my organic farm. i will say this about Nanaimo, it sucks. The downtown part of the city is full of drug addicts,and people living on the streets. Safe injection sites is the norm here. Now, you might say , why don't you move. Well, I don;t have a mortgage, nice. it is all farm land in the area I live in, nice. No street people, and we have a citizen patrol to keep our area safe. Sad, but , a must do. Having guard dogs on the property is also the norm, and we have four of the furry creature's. We use to years ago, have people shoot up on our street, no more. Thanks to our citizens patrol. So, the question remains. Would I move to Nanaimo knowing what I know? Not on your life. At 81 yrs old, I'd say I'm a little too old to pack up and sell the farm.
You come off a little crazy in this manifesto 😳
@@Nanaimore With you, it's all about the money. Get a life.
I can think of worse places to be stranded
Are New York or LA too remote?
This is essentially the same question.
One of those you mentioned is an island. Vancouver Island, however, does not have a bridge, connecting it to the mainland.
Another hmoerun!
