An alternative is nearby Abbotsford, but I'd get burned at the stake in that bible belt for being Or Pemberton! You're about as far from Vancouver in that direction.

I'm actually amazed that the gap between Melbourne, Darwin, Canberra and Perth is that small.

Why is Darwin more expensive than Melbourne? My impression of Darwin, based only on what I've heard and seen on TV, is it's unbearably hot and humid, the weather tries to kill you at every opportunity, and if it doesn't succeed, then some sort of creature will finish the job, whereas I haven't heard anyone say too much negative about Melbourne.

It's loving amazing the amount of people in university who would go out and finance a brand new car just because the used car mommy and daddy set them up with needed some minor work and they were making a little bit of money. I'm almost certain the same people are now demanding new "luxury" homes instead of just buying something half decent that's older and putting some work into it slowly.

Leave my heated leather seats alone!  You try getting into your truck when it's minus 50 without them, your nuts will turn blue before you warm that seat up yourself!

A guy moved into our building who has a new souped up f-150 with all the features. Our parking spots are from the 1950's and tiny. His tire is a few inches clear of the white lines of his parking spot and it has those big extended mirror things. He has to park like that in order to be able to get out of his door, but now a bunch of us have to do like 50 point turns to get in and out. I wish the landlord was just like "nope, that vehicle doesn't fit". He also never seems to use it, it's always parked there all times of the day, the only time its gone is when he "hauls" a single large gym bag of sports equipment off to sport somewhere on the weekends. Why do you have a huge truck?!

Why do you have a huge truck?! My neighbour has a late-model BMW M3 and a Toyota Tacoma. He's a single guy in his 30s who works for a telecom doing line stuff. If he makes more than 50k I'll eat my bicycle tires for breakfast. Anyway, we live in townhouses. He only has room for one vehicle in his driveway, so he parks his truck on the road, which pisses off the old retired neighbours across the road. It was pretty funny watching an old lady yell at him one day for parking his truck outside her townhouse every god drat day. Who knows how many times he has remortgaged his townhouse to afford his vehicles.

You certainly don't need to have the most recent model year of truck by any means. I have those too. They're awesome in the summer but nowhere near as nice as heated seats. I only have trucks for 5 or 6 years before I get a new one, so it's mostly up to date. I usually put 60,000 km or more on my truck a year.

In a lot of ways the finishes are worse than my 60 year old apartment, the only better things are in-suite laundry and maybe "better" kitchen counters, that's it.
