The top three least affordable communities were West Vancouver, Lions Bay and the District of North Vancouver.įor detached properties, Chilliwack ranked second out of 30 on the affordability measure with a median price of $480,950 and a 34.8 per cent GDS. Second was Sooke, third Victoria and fourth Esquimalt. Tops was the City of Langley, which has a surfeit of attached homes and apartments. (The GDS ratio is the percentage of a household’s gross monthly income to cover all household costs.) Overall, Chilliwack ranked fifth of 30 municipalities with a median sale price over the period in question of $385,000 and a gross debt service (GDS) ratio of 27.9 per cent. “A ripple effect is being felt well into the Fraser Valley, with median sale prices … up 32 per cent in Delta, 30 per cent in Langley (township), 24 per cent in Abbotsford and 14 per cent in Chilliwack.”Īnd since the ripples of that effect are hitting Chilliwack last, it means the local prices are still the most reasonable out of an increasingly unreasonable bunch. Much has been made of the extreme house price rises in Vancouver, but the report, “Home Stretch: Comparing housing affordability in B.C.’s hottest markets”, says that people moving farther afield are driving up prices in other communities. “While pockets of affordability still exist, they are disappearing as prices in the Fraser Valley and other parts of B.C. “Buyers looking for affordable housing options used to be able to look to municipalities around Vancouver to find affordable options,” said Ryan McKinley, Vancity’s senior mortgage development manager. With the PTB circuit, it really could do anything you'd want any two-pickup guitar to do.Chilliwack may be the last bastion of single-family home affordability in the Lower Mainland from here to Vancouver Island.Ī report on housing affordability issued June 6 by Vancity of 30 municipalities found the ability for families to purchase homes in the suburban areas outside Vancouver is getting worse, but Chilliwack is still one of the most affordable.
Even the coil split was incredible, it has a capacitor across one coil so you retain a little bass from it, so the drop-off in volume and tone was more subtle than I was used to. Shame, because it sounded and felt as good as any guitar I've ever owned. The only reason I sold it was that I bought it during a really rough time that I wanted to forget about, and it just had too many memories attached to it.
My F-100 had the same feel, and better fit and finish than the best 60's Fenders I've ever played. I've owned 3 early 80's G&Ls, and each of them was superlative.
I agree with Larry that G&L is the last bastion of affordable vintage guitars. In the end, it was a bright and heavy humbucker guitar, and I had a recent back injury that made playing it uncomfortable. If you've never experienced that, it's eardrum-shattering. So the horrible reputation for brightness comes from guitarists turning everything to 10, which is about as unnecessarily bright as a slapped Stingray bass with everything cranked to "10". Plus, the knobs have no center detente, and "5" is flat - which is plenty bright.
The rocker switch is an active bright switch, and the active tone controls are highly interactive.
