Lem and I went for a trip to downtown Langley to visit an old buddy of his from college that just opened a Fido store.

While we were there, we checked out the new residential / workspace studio that is being built right beside the store. The concept is very Yaletown Gastown style, except it's right in the heart of Langley. A little bit misplaced but it would have been perfect for us because it has a C1 zoning which allows us to have a commercial permit to operate out of our living quarters. The layout was very nicely done with private quarters, and a showroom for our numerous home businesses. And the price was fantastic!

Lem is not sold. One of the deciding factors for us is to not have a Money Mart, Liquor Store and Casino within a one mile radius of our place. All three were just a block away each direction. We really need to think ahead on profitability of flipping a place because this will just be a pitstop for us. Three to five years tops.

All of the other places that we have looked at were either 700 square feet condos downtown going for the price of a 4 bedroom house in the suburb. How ridiculous is that? Or a house in the burbs that can fit your whole family and extended family comfortably. That's a lot of space for Lem to occupy and for me to clean. We just cant seem to find a good middle ground.
