Hm...two end sword....living in BC is lucky??? Hm...I don't know about that...gas price aside, just housing affordability is extremely high if you compare across the country. For an old crappy Van special, you're looking at around 700-800k, whereas you can buy a luxury house in other parts of the country.
Oil price increase will adversely affect EVERYBODY, unless you own some oil field in the Middle East or work for an oil company in Alberta. The BC gov't is taxing like crazy on gas price already and they have made so much from the recent gas price increase, and now they're not satisfy and they want to tax more!!!  It seems like a punishment to car owners because cars here is not a luxury but more like a necessity. Our transit system sucks and it sucks too much of our money already with below average service; it's completely not dependable.
I know people make their own choices, but some people are pushed to a dead end right now. Lots of people drive for a living and they're the ones who are suffering the most right now. See the bigger picture, if you're happy but everyone else is suffering, you won't be happy for too long because you will not be the one immune to all of this; it will eventually haunt you! |
