    Hi from freezing cccccalgary. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed that you showed the sights and sounds of Vic. I'll be coming to Victoria in May. That said, I hope I can get on one of those small ferries for a spin. I hope you can take one and film it.

    I appreciate this is your insight and personal however, broad stroke descriptions and a changing landscapes policies and government plus time have resulted in an expensive dysfunction to try to navigate. Access to water physically, bathrooms, rentals, barriers, nature, history etc. Have decreased or changed and not for the better. Lived there 20 years ... no choice but to move. Low income do not exist there except on the streets. Real estate deals or not... tell the reality.

      Thank you so much for the comment. I agree Victoria has changed a lot and it's become a pretty unaffordable place to live for many. It's tough to see people that were born and raised here not be able to find affordable rentals or places too buy. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great rest of your week.

    Hey,
    have you thought of making videos that show case the homes? Thanks again!

      @ainsleygowervictoriarealestate  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes, it's hard to showcase the inside of homes for sale as you need permission from the listing brokerage. But I'm going to try to do more driving neighbourhood tours to show the outside of them!!!!

      ​​@@MarcelaR-dh1ok I know 🇨🇳 is getting back at us (anglosphere) for the opium wars/century of shame and having been a former stoner Ik weed can make people passive and a little slow but is arguably better than alcohol and it isnt a destructive force that drives up death, violent crime and breaks up families the same way opium or in the case of today, fent, heroin, benzos, crack and meth do, we should be more concerned with those, rampant corrupt!on and the swathes of barbarians who breached the gates.
