I live in Brandon, it is a small city, gets really cold in winter. A good place to raise a family.
Born and raised there. Miss it so much.
Yeah ...the Addams Family
@@LeonidsStrapOn So where did you move to now?
I'm planning on relocating to brandon this year
Bro are you still there I want to know somethings about this
Gr8 video . Keep it up mate ...
Perfect size of city. Just be prepared to spend a lot of money on shocks and tires, the roads really suck.
Let’s go, Brandon !
Hi Ryan! Thanks for this informative video! Just checked out your website and I see you that you are in the real estate industry. Do you also do rental properties? My partner and I are considering moving to Brandon for pilot training and we are unsure which neighbourhood to start looking into. Thanks!
Never mind! I just saw your Top 3 neighbourhood video!
Will be moving to brandon in month.
Is it good for international students?
Brandon is my manifestation
I love Brandon! :)
So do we Cris, it’s an amazing city
20 years study in BU ，like this small city
Hii i job some days in maple Leaf compny..
How about job opportunities in salon ? Thinking about moving from india
Hey I also live in Brandon and I do like certain things about it. The housing market and the property tax are extremely high. I know it was touched on in the video but I think it needs a little more time spent on it. A home valued at around $570k in Brandon is $4400 MORE a year than it would be in Calgary. There is also a MASSIVE meth addiction problem in Brandon. I've been told that we have some of the lowest prices for meth in Canada. Maybe to offset the property tax?
Chad, thanks for the comment. Property taxes are high in Brandon compared to other cities, unfortunately it seems like a necessary evil here as improperly taxes are the main source of income for the city to operate.
@@RyanShields and we needed to buy that $400k armoured vehicle for the police to battle the meth problem!
Edit: It was a good video!! I'm not trying to hate on Brandon or you hahaha
@@chad498356 Lmao why the hell do you need an armored Truck to fight meth heads lol. The police don't care about all the meth heads walking around.
Hi chad, I’m thinking about to study in Brandon but now I got scared about the drug addiction in there, it is dangerous for a young women to live there? Like how crazy are this addicts do they hurt the people? Or what other dangerous can you please tell me. I’m moving alone and so if I feel is a dangerous place I better look for another city. Thank you so much for any information you can share with me.
@@xiomara1869 hey I wouldn't say it's too bad. I wouldn't recommend living in the core part of Brandon and I certainly wouldn't recommend going downtown at night but so long as you aren't messing around with addicts and what not you'll be fine.
Hi there, how about the tech industry? what's the startup scene like?
It would really depend on the start up, definitely a few start ups in Brandon
Thank you for the video, I'm looking for cities across Canada where I can settle, grow a family, and find job opportunities in my field (professional or technical occupation in applied science), but Brandon doesn't seem to have enough data or prospects aren't favorable.
Don’t come to Brandon plz don’t
@@Tescarofficial why?
Is something changed for this time?
What about the public transportation?
Is it true that as an international student it's hard to get part time job there?
Very hard
Is it good for international student and welcoming
Raj, Brandon is a very welcoming and diverse community. The university has a large population of international students
@@RyanShields what about part time jobs
@@rajgrewal1567 part time jobs are available but due to the pandemic there are lots of people searching for employment today. In a typical year part time employment is available
@@rajgrewal1567 are You looking to enroll in flight training ?
@@WISEMARTIAL i am thinking about joining Brandon flight school
My sisiter lives in Brandon
It was once a great city. But those days are no more. Sad to see as it is my hometown. It's a horrible place to live now.
But why?
Why?
Why? Drugs, meth especially. You see needles everywhere. ER wait times are very high, in double digits and not enough beds. Rent is high, pay is lower for many jobs compared to other surrounding places. Plus, many businesses like target etc don’t last. Water slides closed 20+ years ago, escape rooms closed up as well, leaving not a lot of stuff to do
What about job opportunities in Brandon nowadays
Bro how about job opportunities in Brandon
Only if I were to be exiled
the snow and highways this year though 💀
Yes this winter has been one for the ages with the amount of snow and highway closures
Lived in Brandon from 2004-2013. Small city and I couldn't get lost. Wasn't easy being a minority and a security guard. You always come across all the racists there lol. Only 1 cop was an asshole that I had to deal with. The rest were cool. Watch out for the slum lord Van-Bi Le I think his name was. You will never see your damage deposit back. No matter how well you look after your apartment. If you do, take pictures. Lots of them. Was on first name basis with pizza hotline. Got in a car crash and they called my brother asking where I was.
ROA Barton so who are they( who wanted to know where u are) ?
Almost zero community oriented spaces.
The awful condition of the roads cannot be understated. The worst ive ever seen in any province. Needs to be seen to be believed.
The meth problem is evident on almost every street you drive down excecpt for a few of the more isolated neighborhoods.
Property tax is OBSCENE for what you get. They give free garbage bins but thats about as good as it gets.
Green spaces are few and far between creating a dingy looking little prarie town vibe.
The city of Brandon has virtually no income producing establishments so it has sickeningly high property taxes to pay for basic infrastructure and municipal services.
The Brandon real estate market's home prices are questionable. Very over-priced for the area IMHO. There are no quality outdoor recreation areas unless you drive for hours and outdoor recreation spaces within the city are rare and most of them are run down and depressing (where are my property taxes going?)
Brandon used to be nice but now its a depressing little town that appears to be run by a small group of corrupt individuals that have been lining their own pockets instead of investing in the future of the city.
Hi, how about the job opportunities, I’m a foreign with accounting background
Is it easy to find a job!
It all depends on what type of job you are looking for I guess
@@RyanShields i am doing IT in university, do i have a high chance to get a job? Are there many technology companies ?
Con, no Costco.
Lol
hi i live in kirkcaldy fife scotland :)
Good for You angel cup cake ❤️
We might be neighbors cos I used to live Edinburgh and worked in Kirkcaldy ,fife!😂
What if you’re named Brandon??!!!
Brandon Brandon?! Brandon, from Brandon?!
Get your boat in the water? Ok, billionaire.
It’s run by home grown mobsters
What do you mean by that Cody?
🤣🤣🤣
It is unfortunate when small towns fall into the unrelenting claws of local barons.
Lived there a decade. Loathed almost every second of it. Would not recommend to anyone.
Why would you say that? What didn’t you enjoy about our great city?
Pros:
-Not too big
Cons:
- The people are rude and ignorant
- The people are narrow minded
- It's not Brandon anymore cause of the newcomers
- Stickney ave is full of parasites
ADAM JANSEN Do u mean cockroaches,bed bugs type of thing or what do u mean by parasites?
