From Jody Paterson's blog

"This is what I now think of as the Oak Bay scene. Destruction, construction, house moving, house building, urban habitat destruction, noise. Weird thing to happen to "quiet" Oak Bay. #downsideofparadise #enoughalready"


Of course, this has been going on for a long time in Vancouver. We feel like we're in a little oasis in our little piece of paradise in this part of UBC but who knows what might be coming down the pipe. There continues to be lots of construction at UBC as well but so far nothing close to us.

It is quite wonderful to look out on Pacific Spirit Park from one window and then  see Vancvouer Island and the Pacific Ocean  and mountians from the other windows.

Good on the people who renovate these older homes rather than taking them down and replacing them with large houses that often don't suit the neighbourhood. Perhaps this one is being moved rather than destroyed?
