Vancouver filmmaker captures historical, 'emotional character' of abandoned Point Grey mansions According to this, we're pretty much all worthy of a feature on The National Post!
Okay to be fair, these lots sit empty as the rich price the majority out of Vancouver as a whole. Some of the
'most expensive properties in North America' as the National Post puts it, sit vacant for years, while young students ride transit for over an hour a day just to get to UBC because they can't afford to live close. Hell, I'm surprised most of that university's population can afford to go there at all. A family member of mine lives in a building in Van that's got a crack right through the middle of it - meanwhile the fishing store next door gets levelled and turned into condos! Woo. Gentrification.
Vancouver is in a deep spiral, and this high-class urbexer is fumbling around in a dense fog of art, cinema and economic unrest.
I'm not sure what I intend for you to get out of my rant here, but then again, I don't think Mr. Fieldwalker has any more of an idea, either.
