For a lot of reasons (mostly a lack of money, but maybe also loneliness or anxiety), my family moved around a lot when I was growing up. In my first ten years, we moved ten times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my life (so far) I have lived in 16 different homes. Here they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1966 – Born in Saskatoon (Home 1, on Alexander St.)
1970 – Cook Street, Victoria (Home 2, Grandpa’s house, in Victoria, BC)
1972 – Fort Langley Hotel, Blue Star Motel, then a mobile home in Langley (Homes 3 through 5)
1974 – Cook Street, Victoria (Home 6, Grandpa’s again)
1975 – 1976: Vancouver (Homes 7 through 9, three dodgy motel units: 2 in Mountain View, 1 in Peacock Court)
1976 – Vancouver (Home 10, a nice townhouse in Park Place)
1984 – Vancouver (Home 11, a 1 bedroom flat downtown on Hornby Street)
1985 – A nice townhouse again (Home 12, back in Park Place)
1986 – 2 bedroom flat in a skeevy old apartment building on Pender St. (Home 13)
1987 – A nice 1 bedroom flat in Mount Pleasant (Home 14, with my fiance)
1991 – A better, bigger 2 bedroom basement suite (Home 15, in East Van)
1995 – Bought a new 3 bedroom condo (Home 16, still in East Van)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026so that’s why I hate moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As kid, I had no say or control in where I lived. Ownership seemed to have really forced me to stay put. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
