    I live in Nelson myself, I couldn’t ask for a better place to be, we have such beautiful scenery and have a very strong community, and so many amazing people... For people that don’t live here, you need to visit and see for yourself how unique and full of joy this city is. Stay safe u guys!👍

    I lived in Nelson for six plus years from 1988 to 1994. It was horrible. The people there were so rude and mean to me. The scenery is great but the people are very selfish and lacking in common societal traits and decency. If they can steal from you, they will. Worst place to live ever! Stay away from Nelson, BC and its over inflated prices all around.

    Nelson is a bit of a joke on the big map of BC. It's comments & voice are given to the radical Liberals in all it's local Media & verbiage access. It's a combination of the old who move here & don't care about future prospects , as the young move out as there is no opportunity for a life, either through a jobless atmosphere or the ridiculous price of homes now which came about through the older & retired moving here. Still, there are many young & uneducated who come here as they gather together in various ways (government paid mostly). It use to be a city of unique comfort. Now it's just a mess of the retired &/or the panhandlers' , who of course are all artists ;) . PS : By the way, because of this, the overall crime is high, as are the Homeless, (highest in BC) --- Anyway, just some facts & considerations---- Cheers ")

    Why do you not come out and say that Left-Wing People have been attracted to Nelson ever since the "Vietnam War Resistors" of the 1960's USA migrated there (legal at the time as Justin Trudeau's Father, Pierre, was Prime Minister out in Ottawa and gave them amnesty) and ever since this former Kootenay District Administrative Center has been a hotbed for the Left. I will be the first to admit that one of their major contributions was their support for the expansion of Provincial Parks in the region for which ALL British Columbians should be very proud, even mostly right-wingers like me, that way, BC's motto, Splendor Sine Occasu (Beauty Undiminished) will hold true forever, something that has been in great jeopardy when EXCESSIVELY resource-extraction / timber slash / mining gouge Right-Wing Gov'ts have been power in this province.
