Craziest is my grandma. Bought a house in lake cowichan on the lake for $80k in the late 80s. Just got her house appraised at $2.1 million. It used to be a cheap pass through logging town and recently it’s become a hotspot for rich peoples vacation homes.

The neighborhood she’s in used to be families and the beaches were always filled with kids in the summers playing and swimming. I went there last summer and it was all prissy young bimbos with their rich old husbands getting mad because you walked across “their” beach. Nobody owns the beach, it’s public property but they try to act like they own everything now and nobody can come near their vacation home. It’s also become very noisy in the summer because of the amount of speed boats and seadoos out on the lake. Used to mostly be kayaks and canoes with the occasional small fishing boat.
