Forget 'The Housewives of Orange County'. These are the ones of West Vancouver, which is reportedly the richest neighbourhood in all of Canada. If you had their money, you could easily afford to throw your own away. In the part known as 'British Properties', if you have to ask 'how much?' then you simply can't afford it, and you shouldn't even be thinking about it, because you are just day-dreaming. Make your millions first, then think about moving to West Vancouver's 'British Properties'. Good old Anonymous tells us: "Whoever said money can't buy happiness didn't know where to shop."

Ya know Ray, I did notice something about this picture. They may be very well off, but their trash cans look just like mine. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTrue - but the city regulations dictate the size and number of cans.
ReplyDeleteIt's what's in them that's different. Those in that picture are at a home where a couple of young guys were making snowboards in the basement a couple of years ago and sometimes putting them out to dry in the sun in the yard. They must have been successful, because now that operation has moved elsewhere, and they are both driving fancy new vehicles, and they had those paving stones installed all over the roadside out in front, and that's partly on city property I think...but the city never looks a gift horse in the mouth, especially when they're too cheap to put in sidewalks. Those aren't required, of course, when everybody's driving new wheels. If there's three snowflakes on the street, then there's a snowplow right there, day or night, to make sure nobody gets snowed in. People up the hill have $60,000 4x4's just to haul their dogs down to the waterfront park to poop all over the grass where the rest of us go to get a little relief from our concrete boxes. In your next life, you should wish to be a dog in British Properties. They're better cared for than Joe Lunchbucket's kids!
