Crack Shack or Mansion? (Vancouver Edition)

[Ed Anger]

Disgusting.

[Ideologue]

P.S.: in this regard, Seattle is different from Vancouver, right?  Right.

Are you planning a move to Seattle or something?

A dream deferred is a dream denied.

Like every city, Seattle has the good neighborhoods and the bad.  I predict you will feel most at home in Fremont.

And this is why....

Oh.  My.  God.

If that was paid for with taxes, then it truly is the greatest city in the world.

I am pretty sure the homemade Italian goods sign was paid for by the shop keeper.

Well, it even has it's own Wiki article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Lenin,_Seattle

The statue was constructed by a Slovak Bulgarian sculptor, Emil Venkov, under commission from the Soviet and Czechoslovak governments. While following the bounds of his commission, Venkov intended to portray Lenin as a bringer of revolution, in contrast to the traditional portrayals of Lenin as a philosopher and educator. His Lenin marches ahead fiercely, surrounded by torrid flames and symbols of war.

Yes!  Well, foreign taxes.  Close enough.

Ide would clearly like my old neighborhood. International district has all the yellow fever hotties he could handle.

[Zoupa]

Elaborate.

[Ideologue]

One half isn't that many.

[katmai]

Elaborate.

It is Seattle's Asian town.

According to the 2000 census, the International District is 56% Asian, 15% black, 15% white, and 5% Hispanic/Latino.
The neighborhood is multiethnic, consisting mainly of people who are of Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino ethnicity.
There are also significant populations of people who are of Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Laotian, Cambodian, and Pacific Islander descent, as well as other communities.

He should go to the Eastside/Bellevue then...only about 30% Asian, but they're richer...he can find an Asian Sugar Momma and laud communism while sitting in the lap of luxury as God intended.

No lie.  This is pretty much exactly what it says in the Bible.

I dreamed of moving to New York when I graduated high school but deferred that for 7 years and now I'm here.

Yeah, but you were still young enough to get in under the wire.
