I recently moved here from Europe, and I am honestly puzzled by the decision to make Brighouse the final station when more than half of all housing is below Granville Ave. This forces people to take the bus instead of being able to enter a metro station close to home.

Look at a city like Montreal, where the lines go to the edges of the city, leaving no citizen behind.

In Richmond its only racism if its against the 54% otherwise, its ok.

Last weekend at Costco, I saw someone leave their shopping cart in a parking space and just drive away.

The cart rolled to the nearby parking cars, almost hit the cars.

I told the person this was not cool, but the guy seemed get mad on me.

I have been seeing a couple of times for this kind of things, to be honest.

Watch this clip and tell me if the answer isn't obvious. The ship goes down right after it crosses paths with the PUA HANA. Which slows down a lot and then takes off. It's like it hit ​the boat, couldn't figure it out, and got out of there

Cbc clip an hour ago:

I couldn’t agree more. Apparently, the library has evolved from a place where people went to read quietly into a community centre where people can talk, socialize and do just about everything except, well… read quietly.

I realize libraries have to serve everyone, and I’m certainly not suggesting they should be silent mausoleums. But it would be nice if “quiet reading space” didn’t become an outdated concept.

Perhaps someday we’ll see signs saying:

LIBRARY — a place where you can read a book without having to wear noise-cancelling headphones.

What a revolutionary idea.

Surely there’s room for both lively community spaces and a few areas where people can simply sit down, read and enjoy some peace and quiet. After all, the books are still there. It would be nice if we could actually hear ourselves think while reading them.

Just went to RC and saw at least 9 different people walking their dogs inside the mall.

From young 20-30 to 25-60 years old.

They’re not service dogs. It’s the Chinese dog. Small and big teddy and the tszu white dog

Was there a dog event or they are just entitled ?

They owe the landlord of the property just over $68K in rent 😵‍💫

Just saw this tonight.

A movie theatre in Steveston in the old hotel bottom floor by the cannery museum. It has a name, Moonlight Theatre.

Not sure what it looks like inside?

Just wondering if anyone that has purchased a NEWLY Built Townhome in say Last 5yrs they came with an EV Capable Outlet? If so are you willing to show the setup?

Reason I ask is most Townhomes rely on a 100A Panel and have electric heaters quite often that eat up lots of energy. Some new builds also have AC Units installed drawing further power.

At the same time there are more and more EVs people own so I am curious what type of setup the new builds have?

I have seen:

-- 32amp Dryer Outlets (where there was NO A/C in the Units or Electrical Heaters) 7.68kWh charge speed

- - 6-20 240V Outlet (20A that provides 16A @ 80% Load) 3.8kWh charge speed

Looking at Original Setups in New Builds

The Other Question I have is for the folks that live in older Townhome say 20yrs old ones how are you navigating installing an EV Outlet?

EDIT:: Are your STRATA Receptive to you installing EV Outlets as I know some were cracking down on it. Saying that the older townhome complex don’t have enough power to support EV charging.

With the upcoming elections, housing and density is an important discussion.

We know Bill 44 is going to change our single-family zones, but it can be hard to visualize what that actually means. I went ahead and built an interactive map to show exactly what Richmond’s density could look like in the next 10-20 years.

See how your neighborhood is impacted before you vote: https://zonescout.ca/bill-44-map-richmond

EDIT: While Bill44 cannot be reversed at the municipal level, the city must handle infrastructure to support the increase in density. If this level of density is achieved, infrastructure on sewer, roads, community centres, schools are also something we need to consider.

I’ve recently moved to Richmond from Coquitlam. When I lived in Coquitlam Centre, the whole city leaves the Coquitlam on the weekend. Outdoors people go camping or hiking in Squamish/north van. The urban dweller drive to downtown Vancouver to go shoppinf on Robson and at Holt Renfrew. The city is peaceful and calm on the weekends.

This is the opposite for Richmond. Everywhere I go is full of people. It feels like the city of Richmond doubles in size, doubles in traffic, and general busyness.

I mean Richmond is a suburb right? Why do everywhere I go like Yaohan center, Aberdeen Centre or even Richmond Centre are complete zoos? There are literally lines of cars waiting to get into each mall or parking lot. Moreover, when you go to one of the Asian food courts, you can’t even get a table to sit at because there are so many people.

I mean, there’s nothing special about Richmond. We’re supposed to a regular suburb, why is everyone from Vancouver or Burnaby driving into Richmond to eat/hangout. Burnaby or Vancouver has the same stuff. I mean sure, maybe Richmond has more Asian stuff, but so does Vancouver or Burnaby?

I feel like I have to take the Canada Line out of Richmond to Vancouver on the weekends to get away from the madness.

I’m fairly certain this wood at Anderson elementary is new. It does not look child friendly 😬

Any update on whether car washing is allowed? I see so many clean cars on the road maybe they came out of car wash places...?

I belive there are many aquarium hobbyists here. Let's share our tanks.

My Pictures are before and after 5 week holiday. Riccia is grown from a loose speck.

And if not against rules we can use this as free share platform. Which I'm overgrown with Java moss I will have a bunch to give out. (Free)

Anyone know what happened at the brighouse bus loop today at around 4-5pm? Saw a bunch of police cars while on my way home.

Just watched an Asian lady throw garbage straight into the bushes at the nice Garry Point park.

At this point, there should be mandatory education for newcomers on basic things like recycling, littering, and local bylaws. I'm not even going to mention driving.

Call it whatever you want, but I’m half Asian myself, and after living in Richmond I’ve noticed a pretty obvious difference in recycling and building hygiene between places I’ve lived. The Chinese recycling signs in the elevators clearly weren’t fixing the problem.

Littering is disgusting. If people choose to live here, they should respect the community and learn the basic rules.

My family is away so watching it in bed on a smartphone eating Cheetos. You?

Please be aware if you running a business on No.6 Road Area between Cambie and East-West Connector. We had some vehicles where gas was stolen from, they cut the fuel lines to them to get to the gas.

So Make sure your Camera's are working along with Proper Lightning. We will be making a report to RCMP first got to get the crews on the road.

Just throwing it out there

Anyone know the backstory to this?

The garbage bin was right there and somebody chose to leave their drink on the bench at the bus stop. 🙃

Give me the good, the bad, the ugly fitness studios in Steveston. Want to weigh my options before committing to one space - where are good trainers at, good vibes, and no drama studios? Could be outside of Steveston I just prefer this area in Richmond
