Well CRD is not the answer my buddiy who is on the in between metchosion and east sooke and under CRD rules he has 5 acres but for him to build a new shop there is soooooo many hight,width,lenth restrictions its sad!!!!!! he has 5 acres wheich is all wooded and in no way see a neighbor yet hes not alllowed to build his dream shop because of CRD, where i am in the sassenos area got the go ahead i can have a shop 53 ft high if i wanted and any size.
So you know what every where has its good a bad, like someone said shawnigan to vic isnt bad well thats your choice until a fuel truck closes the road for days. or too much snow closes it like many times last year the commute only gets bad when you hit colwood same as coming from the malahat.
And ive timed it from my place to the RCMP in langford is exaclly 14 mins and thats about as far as i go because everything i need is there costco,canadain tire,tim hortons etc LOL LOL.
So its all in what you want you have to ask yourself one thing .....IS THERE REALLY A "PERFECT" LOCATION?????? NO NOT REALLY....humans as a whole want in THERE opinion the best. becasue we all are materialistic you may think you are not but we all are......
