Well, it’s the so called - “metro dwellers “ who are the ones paying out of pocket to keep hick living operational. Do you think a town of 100 people is paying for their civil services? lol. Give me a break.

However, I agree, Vancouver sold out, shoulda kept our mouths shut starting with Expo 86, the root cause of it all, then the Olympics, then opening up our borders without an infrastructure to support it. But that’s a different discussion.

Yeah, there are all sorts of stats and news bites available on the intrawebz providing a multitude of numbers but most data tends to point to an exodus rather than in influx into the Golden State.

Claims of 7.5 million in the past decade with net loss human capital ratios (US citizens out vs immigrants in...j/k j/k ) somewhere around 250K per annum as a general number.

Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Florida appear to be the go to States with reasons ranging from cost of living, crime, Woke Politics, wildfires, water issues et cetera....

The California dream is seemingly not what it one was....

But knowing how much you love MAGA America, Mëds, I gather you and the likes of BC Expat would prefer Trumps offer instead?

I don't want anymore left wing loonies added to Canada. Maybe the lower mainland of BC could join Washington, Oregon and California and become a separate country. Seems like they all have a common political stance.

All for it BCE.

Then we can become an exporting province and let the leftists loving metro dwellers figure out where they are going to get their materials.

I’ll qualify that equal investment needs to go into refining and manufacturing. It’s stupid to sell the raw materials only to have the final product sold back to you at a mark up.

Metro dwellers? Spoken like a true rural hillbilly.

Not every rural person is a hillbilly - just like not everyone that is a metro dweller is smart - you being a perfect example of that

Rural folk pay a disproportionately high amount property tax for the level of service they glean from the system.

Those of us that live in the county, have no sewer, water, trash, zero emergency services that can respond in a timely manner, very limited local health care. Basically roads and schools.

Exactly.

We a are running expensive emergency rooms among other essential services in small towns so Jethro can take a piss outside on his 700 acres, FFS.

Jethro doesn't lean on the emergency services because he just rubs some dirt on it and gets back to work.

The metrosexuals need to see the doctors for every little mole and hate imagining that theyre the ones doing it all wrong and Jethro is the richest one of all

Municipalities may not provide water, sewer, or garbage pickup for rural residents, but they also maintain a lot more roads and ditches for them. The same goes for hydro, phone, cable, gas ... there's a lot more infrastructure to maintain per household for rural residents than city folks.

Some municipalities provide discounts if you don't get some services. I don't pay for garbage pickup in my property tax.

Also if you are a rural property owner you'll get a higher Homeowner Grant and you can massively reduce your property tax if you claim farm status.

Taking all that into consideration I think you get more if you are a rural property owner.

True the roads need grading after snow and once or twice in the summer but this and schools are basically all we were gaining from living remote.

Gaining your farm designation requires a minimum threshold of farm generated income that is scrutinized annually. It's more than one can gain from selling eggs or leasing out paddock for crops or beef. You legitimately must be earning some cake from your land to receive that benefit. Believe me it's not easy to do

Metrosexual city mouse, 5th, returns small arms fire at the rural hillbillies' outhouses...

Cuz Jethro not imprezzed at having his hourly, outhouse weed break interrupted by a city slicker and his wee pistol.

Is that all you got, metro-dweller? Just a flesh wound, gonna rub some dirt on it and get back to doing what us country folk do best... receiving benefits!

(Running away to avoid rural retaliation)

[5thhorseman]

Yeah I'm rural folk like Cuz, probably not as a remote though. Got my farm status only pay $400 a year. Most people do it with eggs you only need 60 chickens but I bet most of them fake their sales logs anyways that's all you have to show for the audit which is maybe every two years here in BC. Can't stand traffic it's getting worse here but the wife doesn't want to go anywhere else. Would love to live closer to the mountains like the Kootenays or Pemberton area.
