Tooken care of?

Wow if that's your list.....move and stop being a little girl!

People that live in homes commit crimes and are drug addicts with mental health issues but the real problem is fighting to let the crazy rich people use the wrong bathrooms while you still won't let the poor people use the right ones. HUGE flaw in your priorities when you claim that mental illness is a human right but continue to tear down any attempts people make to house themselves when you fail to provide it. You blame the poor for the problems created by the rich while letting them get away with murder but claim the poor are the criminals. Here's a small fact you keep overlooking...the poor don't feel safe either and suffer daily abuse at the hands of YOUR society.

I live in Nanaimo. Don't feel at home here. Homelessness is rampant. Poor medical services, if you get into the hospital the hospital doctors are great, but the support staff not so great. City is long and narrow with two main roads going through, Old Island Highway, and Island Highway. Housing costs too high for me, with little work opportunity. Immigrants seem to be buying up all the fast food operations. Lots of Hamas supporters.

Great video! We moved to the island from Halfmoon Bay on the Sunshine Coast about a year and a half ago. We took a trip to Quadra one day, stayed for 3 days and a couple of days in Campbell River and were amazed at how beautiful the area is and there are so many amenities as well. We moved to Campbell River and have never looked back. We have more than enough water here, while the Sunshine Coast has had water restrictions every year that make it hard to have a veggie garden. In 2022, on the Sunshine Coast, we were not allowed to use any outside water until December 14! The problem is going to get worse as all the new development there adds new subdivisions every year. In CR, we have 2 highways to head to the ferry, if we need to, but on the SC, only one highway, single lane for most of the way and anything, trees falling down, garbage day, school busses or construction can really slow down a trip to or from the ferry. You don't move to the island if you'll be needing to take the ferry to Vancouver often.. Campbell River is a much easier place to live than Halfmoon Bay is, especially for boaters, as there are so many more options for getting boat work done in CR or between CR and Nanaimo. We had to wait several months, but we did get in to a great marina that is minutes from our home. There are just so many more options for different businesses in general in CR and finding people to do whatever work you need done is not hard at all.. Also, the weather in CR is essentially the same as in HMB. CR might get a little heavier rain at times, but it's very temperate and not much snow, but it can get a foot of snow like it does on the Sunshine Coast. In 2023, it snowed in HMB before it snowed in CR. Campbell River has such amazing ocean views and lots of trails for walking or biking. The city does a decent job of keeping it up as well, but like everywhere else, there is some drug fueled crime and homeless people. No different from Sechelt though, or any other city. CR has a very diverse population and the people we meet say they would never want to live anywhere else.

This island should be a wildlife reserve

Nanaimo wastes so much tax dollars. 23 million for a new fire palace so we can pay guys to sleep on the job and needlessly chase around Ambulances to get their call numbers up. Nobody looks into because nobody on our council have any idea of what goes on.

If you move to Nanaimo. BRING A DOCTOR! Because you won’t find one here,

Watching from Nova Scotia and dreaming of living the island life. We love your videos!

Awesome Scott, Thanks for getting the Fall video out! You make Nanaimo SO INVITING!!

Dude we don't need more people moving here: there is housing shortage problem, it is expensive and a lot of drug/ homelessness. And don't forget to mention the poor air quality from the dump- especially in the winter.

Skinny meme

I absolutely agree with you. Fall is such a breath of fresh air on the island, physically and emotionally. We love you tourists, but we are so happy to get the roads back to the traffic levels they are designed for. Great video! Love it!

Month late for this video. 😊

Make sure to Visit Superior Farms as Well! th-cam.com/video/08LDOELDkVw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=s-m9uu1ArtDETFog

My brother lost his life on that river. Yellowgate sounds like the place were my brother drowned. He wss jumping across the rocks, slipped and struck his head . But could have happened at Red Gate. The year was 1956.

Homeless population

I couldn't get into Vancouver Island due to earthquake potential

Really valuable video, some great insights.. thanks ❤🎉

If this guy missed the stink of Harmac he s not worth paying any attention to. He also doesn t know the history of the Parkway re overpasses etc

I'm always watching from Taiwan. I find your videos really helpful and you present yourself in a very personable manner. I'm originally from Winnipeg, but grew up in West Vancouver. I'm aiming to relocate my family from Taiwan to Nanaimo in 2026. Thanks again for putting out these videos.

In Nanaimo, I can bear watch right outside my windows because all the newbies islander leave their garbage out the night before. 😂

The landscaping seems inappropriate.

😍😍😍😍 😍😍😍 😍😍 😍

Magnificent

Great video, very informative!

I’m not waiting for rate cuts- that’s short term. I’m waiting for a healthy correction- like 15-20%/ 2018-2019 prices

From Calgary Alberta. Thinking of moving to the states to make more money in healthcare. The Nanaimo hospital is apparently awful to receive care in and even worse to work in - very toxic work environment 😢

Glad to see you back making Videos, after a few months : = ) watching this Video from Kapellen in Austria

Nanaimo ,Pretty nice paradise, I traveled there 1 year ago from California and was one of my favorite trips ever, the ⛴️ Ferry is amazing and the buffalo meat is delicious. I cant wait to return soon😅

Parksville is running out of water faster. Does that concern anyone?

Great videos We are newly retired from London Ontario

Overpriced and it's Nanaimo. Simple.

The big issue with Nanaimo is sprawl. It's a town becoming a city and it desperately needs to increase density. And it's happening slowly, but I'd really love to see the council and mayor work more with the province on laneway houses. We desperately need rental units here, and the incredibly strict restrictions on building secondary housing structures makes it really hard for the average land owner to participate.

Salty abyss😂😂😂😂😂

i saw on the news today the town of Crowsnest is having a vote whether to open up the mine again. Very short sighted on part of Alberta's politicians.

Homes in neighbourhood where I live don’t come up for sale often & are snapped up at increased pr. when they do. (Departure Bay … top of Barrington, in Rock City area)

Great video, Nanaimo is an amazing city. We paint homes and do mold remediation to help Nanaimo sellers get showing ready 😊

Love the thumbnail that's the neighborhood on the top of 7th? Just houses on wrong side of the street🤔

Another thoughtful and informative video. Thanks for your hard work, Scott!

just wondering if you know that CPI being flatish doesn't mean prices have come down? they are simply going up at a slower rate, so not clear that should lead to a reduction in house prices. take care

Watching from Surrey BC

We've noticed, we're trying to GTHO of Nanaimo and move to Victoria. The downtown area has its problems, but the north end is pretty lame in its own way. The people are provincial, tawdry, and ooze with complacency. It's been an enormous mistake. You should know what you're getting yourselves into it, it's very much small town life.

Keep the house prices down so we can afford one when we move to the island in the near future! 😁

not the AI thumbnail

The hands man.. the hands.

Great video, watching from Midland, Ontario. Hoping to retire, sell home here and move to the island late summer/early fall next year :)

Just in the middle of completing my first purchase of a house in Nanaimo in the Hammond Bay area. Looking forward to that island life soon. I have definitely noticed the same properties popping up again and again in my search.
