game over

That’s it, then.

The CMHC will not insure, so no lender will lend. We are unable – because of a technicality – to buy the condo we’ve both fallen in love with; the place so perfect for us that every other available unit looks like garbage in comparison.

I know this isn’t uncommon and it’s happened to other people and everything will be fine and we’ll find something eventually – but none of that matters to me at the moment. I am kind of heartbroken, and the thought of starting the hunt again makes me sick to my stomach.

I am very sad.

 

scooterists unite

The City of Vancouver is finally trying to do something about the scooter parking situation in this town. They’ve come up with a couple of options and are asking for feedback from the public – if you ride, please take a second to read through the page and send in your thoughts. I wrote an email to the city earlier this week with my opinion on the two options outlined: the first one sucks balls, rewards those idiotic and dangerous electric scooters, and leaves out anything above 50ccs; the second is only viable if they open up far more than 42 spots in 4 lots and call it good.

Obviously you’ll have your own opinion on these, but I urge you to email the city: the more riders they hear from, the sooner we could have a city that isn’t a complete joke in the scooting world.

I am too stressed to be funny today.
