Community Only What has happened to being decent neighbours nowadays?

74 Upvotes

I am situated in an area where the skytrain are being built along and I have been living in Surrey for almost 30 years. When I first moved here, all of the neighbours understood mutual respect for one another. For example, we had neighbours who use to send little notes to houses nearby if they were hosting wedding/celebration and ask for our cooperation and understanding for the increase of vehicles for x amount of days, foot traffic & noises. Nowadays the newer neighbours have 0 care of being decent neighbours and keeping any mutual respect in the neighborhood. For instance, I would let my neighbour’s 5-6 tenants slide for parking in front of my house for weeks because I don’t use street parking but the one time I ask for their understanding and cooperation if I could use the parking for friends visiting the week, they let me park one day and gives me attitude saying how long I parked in front of my house. I understand it is public parking and it is first come first serve but I would assume that politely discussing it with them previously, them agreeing and me not calling bylaws on them on all the other times they’ve violated parking regulations would not be too much to ask. Now, they even have random people they work together parking for the day around homes nearby to transit via bus…. At this rate, I feel like the parking situation and congestion is going to become like Vancouver where residential areas will now have more parking restrictions because of these people who no longer have that same of being “good/decent” neighbour mindset.

Here's a look at the groceries I bought today for two adults at save on foods (they still accept any flyer in the flipp app).

P.S. I always let people behind me know that I'm price matching.

Ask SurreyBC ❓ Floating the Nicomekl Upstream

1 Upvotes

I want to float the Nicomekl in a couple weeks.

Was hoping to hop in after low tide and float upstream from Blackie Spit. Will I need to paddle at all or will the tide coming in be strong enough to carry my lazy ass up to Elgin?

Much love and thank you in advance for the help!

Ask SurreyBC ❓ Alley parking/Fire lane

12 Upvotes

Multiple signs in an alley behind homes that say “no parking fire lane”. Every evening however multiple cars park halfway into the alley ways behind these homes.

Is there any point reporting them if it’s always in the evening? My concern is if there actually is a fire in the middle of the night and they need to get down our alley they won’t be clear.

Houses on one side of alley and townhouses on the other. Cars park on side with houses.

Ask SurreyBC ❓ Any nice spots to go at night?

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know a good spot to go alone at night, somewhere with a nice view, or a secluded beach type spot, or anywhere that would be a good spot for someone to go and spend some time clearing their mind and etc? Are beaches closed at night time? Also a new driver, so preferring somewhere close to surrey, but open to any suggestions...

Housing 🏡 Financially ready for a car, but the parking situation in King George is holding me back.

Financially ready to affort a vehicle.

Wanted to get a secure parking spot.

Asked permission to post on building's community board. Rejected.

I have been looking for a parking spot online for a week. Could not find any.

The vehicle I wanted to buy was sold to another guy.

Questioning if I really need a dedicated parking spot.

Ask SurreyBC ❓ Where to get slip resistant shoes at Guildford mall?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Just wondering what stores carry slip resistant shoes at guildford mall. I'm not sure if any normal footwear store would have a pair so I was just wondering if anyone knew stores that 100% have them. I need to pay using guildford giftcards, so I am unable to go to any other stores outside of the mall.

Does anyone also know if Marks takes the mall giftcards? I feel like my best bet would be to go there for the shoes

Ask SurreyBC ❓ People who've been to K Pop Karaoke Pub specifically (but even karaoke in general would be helpful) please help answer some questions to help me plan the night! I'm so stressed!

13 Upvotes

Specifically regarding K Pop Karaoke Pub

Apparently they serve food there. I know it's not like, MEAL food but it's appetizer type food right? And there's a dining area for this?
I see pictures of seating and tables so I assume people meet up there for snacks and drinks before karaoke?

Can you also eat in the room?
I'm so confused about the dining part of the place. If yes you can eat in the room, do people reserve the room and meet up there and eat before singing? But... I feel like that's dumb because you have to pay for the room per hour so if you waste an hour in there not singing you're paying to eat. So then is my first question about the dining area what people usually do?

TL/DR of my 2nd question: BASICALLY I just am wondering for how long experienced karaoke-goers think I should reserve a room for 13 people.

Longer version of that one:

Do you think a minimum of 3 hours is adequate? Will that be rushed or too long?
Trying to figure out what time to plan the meet up and reserve the room.
Like I think we'll probably want to leave by 10:30 MAYBE some of us 11, so I have no idea if reserving the room for 7pm is too early or too late.
There will be 13 of us and if each person takes 10 mins to choose and then sing just one song, that's already over 2 hours. So to have fun and not be rushed, does 7:00/7:30 seem like a good time to reserve the room at?
Do people just go in and instantly sing non stop til they leave? If that is the case then it could be over super fast especially if not everyone sings.

Thank you. 🙏

If you think I'm over thinking it, listen. I can't even plan dinner for the week let alone a gathering of 13 people into 1 place I've never been before, and I have NO ONE to help me. So I'm asking strangers. 😭

Sports 🏅 First in BC cricket history, Surrey batsman hits six sixes in one over

Wanted to share this incredible sporting achievement that happened on Canada Day. Believed to be a first in BC cricket history, local Surrey cricketer hit six sixes in a single over. For non-cricket fans, this is comparable to hitting 4 home runs in one game. It is a rare feat in the cricket world so it’s amazing to see this happening locally!
