My wife and I were fortunate to finally sell our townhome and get a nice little rancher away from all the densification. Living strata had been royal pain in the ass. These strata councils are a joke. Really, it's just an excuse for bored housewives and retired old farts to sit around and gossip about other owners. Don't even get me started on these poorly built narrow townhouses that take up way too much space in Surrey. They're the spitting images of file cabinets and milks cartons. The walls are so paper thin that you can literally hear your neighbors peeing. Boy, talk about cheap workmanship. Small wonder so many smart people put them up for sale. Selling the townhome and moving far away turned out to be one of the healthiest choices we have ever made. Haven't looked back since.
