本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Your serial was one of my favourite articles in this forum. However, I just figured out that you are too biased in giving opinions for purchasing and this is really annoying sometimes, just as what you've done in another topic.
It's OK that you have your own preference, and stick to it since you've bought the house. However, you have no right to undervalue other people's choices when you can't convince them with yours, in such a "frank" way.
Back to the issue of yonge/16th, I've been in this community for more than 2 years. I believe I know it much better than some biased outsider.
"townhouse 24万算贵吗", I believe you're talking about two bedroom THs with 1200sq. Several homes with 3 br and 1500-1800 sq were sold over 300K quiet easily this summer. It's not "算贵" compare to the new freehold THs in the neighbourhood which are normally in 330-340ks of course, but I guess even the single detached houses in your neighbourhood can't reach that price with the same size.
"旁边就是大工厂(好象是水泥厂)," not sure, I never seen it.
"街上都是垃圾. 每人的driveway上都有几个车", never seen it, when did you come over and find this? FYI, the driveway is designated for one car only, and can only hold one.
"离铁路近在咫尺", true, but most properties along yonge street in richmond hill are like that, and they didn't sell less because of that. Besides, there is a ravine and park in between the houses and the railway. Depend on how you look at it, the selling point for condos and THs is "convenient, close to everything", which is different from a single house's. This location fits this need perfectly. The impact of few trains per day is minor compare to all other convenience.
All of all, over 80% residents in this complex are caucasians, the nieghbour you prefer the most. My neighbour across the street is a lawyer. Why do you think they buy and hold here if it's such a messy community?
BTW, another point in your statement is not true either. Not only Chinese likes to buy newer houses. Local people are the main force for home purchasing, not we chinese at all. And this trend becomes more and more obvious since most families are becoming double incomed now. They can't afford the time and energy to look after older houses. If you go check the sales offices outside of scarborough and markham, you'll know what I said is true.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
