and buying a similar home in Squamish.

when I'm working ! drive 3 hours a day but

mortgage payment and !'m right in recrea-
tion country.

15) | like being within walking distance of forest.

16) The takes are great.

fererit mental space - a pretty good one.

afraid of weirdos.

and still live well on my income.

Different people have different reasons for investing

in Squamish

1) 1 bought a 10 year old 3 bedroom home and it only cost me $48,000.
My payments are less than $400 and even when a tenant is low income
he can meet the rent.

2) I started my business in my basement in North Van. but when I needed
‘pace and employees | found that my workforce could afford to live here
on incomes that kept me competitive.

“. 3} | started my business here because | love it here.

*“4) lwas born here and | wouldn't live anywhere but here, besides, | couldn’ t

- ” gtart'a business and buy a home anywhere else.

“ 5) The location is good now but when the highway project has finished pav-
~- Ing ‘right through to Cache Creek and 4-laned to Vancouver, this loca-
- tion-will be unbeatable for access to Vancouver Island, the Interior and
the Prairies.
- 6) fhe Population is expanding so fast business should continue to just get
. lter.
a) The. e.disposable | income here is really high because of basic living costs

Here are some of them:

like food and housing, are so low.

8) On pure economic grounds | am putting more investment into Squamish
and have bought a home as well, for personal use.

9) My business expertise attracts a jot of calls from friends that want ad-
vice but interupt my ability to work but | find inexpensive long distance
calls discourage the unproductive social cails but don" 't stop the calls

want.

10) ! like being able to go home for lunch.

11) Don’t give my name but | like the respect that is given some businessmen
here in town whereas in Vancouver | wasn't even noticed. -

12) The business competition isn't at.all so vicious as it was in. Vancouver.

13) I'm in my boat within 10 minutes of closing time..: — -
