And therein, as the bard would tell us, lies the rub.

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.

Interesting article.

First, I think we need to plan a road trip to Van and do a meet up! lol

I'm right there with you on the housing costs and it's mind blowing to read in that article how properties are going for a million over asking price. I always had a dream of living and working in Vancouver but who can afford it?!

The other thing I found interesting is he uses the Coastal Salish people and territory as his argument against trespassing? C'mon guy!

But still....summer road trip?? ;)

I do like the way he films. Still shots, well framed, no music or narration, just ambient noise. I'd like to see more of that.
