RE: Mayne Island Nightmare: Selling rec property in a collapsing market.
Great sleuthing, RFM!
Here are some updated pics. The G&M likely chose that photo above for dramatic effect; but, then again, these listing pics aren't the best especially for print. Well, at least the roof is on. My god, though, look at the inside of this place. It's so huge and for only 2 people in their 60s (now 70s). Unbelievable. I was involved with a lot of logging research back in 2003 -2006 and actually heard from a woman on Mayne. The locals were battling developers left, right, and centre as huge swaths of forest were coming down. They must weep now to see this final outcome. So much vacant land and homes unsold. Yes, just like the SC, Vancouver Island and the other Gulf Islands. I guess someone made money, but at what cost. To add insult to injury, likely most of that money didn't remain in the local economy. |
