Back in Barrister’s day you could also buy a Le Sabre off the showroom floor in any shade of brown for $2,000 a corner! And that’s with the undercoating! :)

C’mon B, does every new condo discussion need to include a comparison to your old house?

I paid 208 a square foot for my house just a few years back and that is ignoring the floor space in the carriage house. Why anyone wants to live right downtown at those prices is beyond me.

How is the Redfern located “right downtown”? Even the thread title lists a location right in South Jubilee, and it’s a short walk to Oak Bay from the site (like 5 mins on foot)…

One should never get details like many years of hundreds of thousands of dollars of gains in property values and several kilometres from downtown get in the way of being a old cranky bastard. I will point out that Rockland is closer to downtown than South Jubilee. I mean, the Redfern is barely within the area considered to be part of the CRD core.

Millennials, take note: Why buy a condo when you can go back to 2011 and buy a house? Dumbasses!

5 mins to Oak Bay? More like 20 seconds if you catch the light.

We can argue as to what is downtown in terms of greater Victoria but I see the city in terms of being from Sidney over to Sooke. Anywhere you want to place it is still pretty damn pricey for a condo.
