[Elton Johns Wig]

Pitt Meadows:

Pros:
- Up and coming neighbourhood that’s growing and becoming more interesting.
- Pretty much the same distance from work for wife and I.
- Walking distance to everything we need.
- We moved in summer. The last suburb we were in was starting to get a bit older and snobby. Kinda like that the new area is a mix of ages and a bit more middle-class.
- Traffic is also much better.
- We’re nestled between mountains and the Fraser river so it can’t grow too much.
- People are friendly.
- Got a good local brewery and golf courses.
- I have some good friends nearby.
- Weather is much milder compared to the rest of the province/country.
- Houses are somewhat more affordable compared to closer to the city.
- It’s fairly quiet. Not really any crime and it’s a good place to raise our kids.
- Some good farms nearby where we can get local meat, produce, honey etc.
- Quite a few tv shows/movies are filmed around here which can be interesting to check out.


Cons:
- In the suburbs a little bit.
- Only a few good local restaurants.
- The schools in the catchment are ok but not highly rated compared to other suburbs.
- No open fires are allowed (I was given a nice fire pit for our housewarming but can’t use it!)

I lived in Jericho Beach for a while. Other end. Vancouver, bloody top spot.

Do you find the people rude ?

Yes. They lack my social graces and all round even handed approach to life.

In seriousness thou life in the big city is starting to wear me down for some reason. Would definitely look at a change if work allows.
