Why are prices so high in Vancouver?

[CalgaryPooner]

As I start to learn about all the boards across Canada and am doing some research planning trips to both Montreal and Vancouver, I have come across something that makes no sense to me.

The prices in Victoria British Columbia and Vancouver British Columbia are quite different. Judging from reviews and web sites and general discussion a lot of veteran pooners who post to boards all agree that Victoria British Columbia has better choice and services than Vancouver British Columbia. So why is prices higher in Vancouver?

I think Montreal is sounding great and I will see for myself very soon. Now I am thinking Victoria seems like as good as Montreal.

I am thinking of changing my holiday plan for Vancouver to include Victoria now for sure.

For those who may know the reason for the mystery, what are your thoughts? Is the industry in Vancouver better organized like a union or something and they collude on pricing? Is there more effective advertising using boards like Perb to push the pricings higher? If the selection and services in Vancouver were way better this would make some sense but the opposite is apparently true (I don't know, my Vancouver experiences have not been that great but they are limited and I have not had Victoria experiences).

Oh yes

Its the quality

 

[CalgaryPooner]

Its the quality

Can you elaborate?

Everything I have been reading on internet sources like this board show that all the rip offs seem centred in Vancouver and the quality in Victoria seems to be consistently quite high.

Compare the reviews for Victoria and Vancouver on all the various review boards including Perb and see what I mean. If anything you would think pricings in Vancouver would be quite a bit less than Victoria but you might have an explanation?

 

[CalgaryPooner]

I think it is proportional to the cost of real estate?

Interesting. Real estate is certainly less expensive in Montreal. Is it really check in Victoria too?

 

[Jaman50]

Well CalgaryPooner ..... Are you comparing to Calgary??

Vanc / Vic / Mtl are all well below Calgary rates.

Even Toronto is a better buy.

& I assume you only pay the same amount for the same quality of hotels, no matter where you go. You should go to Vegas, you can still get a good hotel cheap (in the middle of the week) but the escort service SPs are double anything you find in Canada, I bet.

Maybe the rates are just high for you -- ever think of bathing more than once a week?

So what do you think is a fair going rate for strangers to stick appendages into your body, cum on you, & when will you be peddling your ass on the low track? Inquiring (& extremely open minded) PERBites want to know.

Yes, yes and yes. Vancouver is a hotbed of conspiracies and price collusion, and the local Hookers Union works tirelessly around the clock to ensure that all of us are compensated more than fairly for the work we do. Pooners must unite to bring the market back under their control. I think the best way for you to combat these atrocities would be to stage a pooner's strike. If all of you men band together and refuse to pay more than $.8 per hour, demand for our services will drop and prices will fall. The cry has been sounded. Rally the troops. Oh, and be sure to post about your mission on all the message boards you can find, including Craigslist.

Tongue firmly in cheek,

All joking aside, to answer your question you only need ask yourself the same questions about most other goods and services in Vancouver. Is the gas in Vancouver far superior to that in Toronto? Then why do we pay 30 cents per litre more for it? Is land in Richmond superior to that in Edmonton? I guess so, if you consider living on silt in a major subduction zone superior. So why is a home double the price? Are our downtown condominiums built better than those in Montreal? Only if you consider paying $80,000 a head to fix water ingress problems reasonable. Yet they cost about four times as much. Why does it cost me $100 to get my locks changed in Vancouver, but only $60 in Chilliwack? Is the locksmithing superior here too?

I live in Calgary. I find with a few regulars, I get great rates.

All I am saying is someone who really doesn't know Vancouver or Victoria in British Columbia, all available information would lead one to believe that the rates would be lower in Vancouver and not the other way around. I was curious if anyone had thoughts as to why.

That's all.

You are one incredibly classy piece of work.

I didn't quote the first part of your post as it wasn't exactly helpful. I am being serious here.

The second part if very helpful and I didn't realize the cost of things in Vancouver was so much higher than Victoria. I figured with Victoria being the capital and out on the water and stuff that it would be the crown jewel of your Province and all things price wise would follow.

Your post really helps put it into perspective. Thank you (sincerely). I think based upon the reviews on various boards that for the visitor, Victoria is the best option and I will adjust my Vancouver trip to include a least a week there too. I will be able to report on my own experiences but it appears that when I am paying more in Vancouver I will have to remember that the person I am paying it too likely has to pay more for everything too!

Thank you for a mature and helpful response.

There is probably more competition in Victoria -- many people find it a desirable place to live, so that is probably also true for service providers. Rates have been increasing, but are still very reasonable compared to Vancouver.

...and whoever posted that Victoria was a waste of time knows not of what he speaks.

Well just as long as you treat our girls with respect you will get the goods.

I'm glad you didn't take my sarcasm too much to heart

Unfortunately, there is a high price that comes with living in one of the most beautiful and desireable places in the country. I scratch my head when I look at the price of gas here, knowing that we are filling our cars with the same quality of fuel they use in Alberta and Ontario, but for about 35% higher cost. Why? Because there is no shortage of money in Vancouver, and there is always somebody else able and willing to pay the going rate for goods and services. I mean, where else in the country would someone pay $400,000 for a 650 sq ft apartment?

 

[sonoman]

So why is a home double the price? Are our downtown condominiums built better than those in Montreal?

Foreign capital, of course. Why that should affect the market rates of SP's I don't know, but it does seem that SP rates are commensurate with the general cost of living in Vancouver. Residential rental rates, oddly enough, are on par with those in Toronto.

As long as there are people willing to pay the price, what's complaining about it gonna do?

In terms of a SPs worth, Athaire said it best. The SP is worth what you're willing to pay them and for their services.



I don't get it. It's not a difficult concept to grasp. This debate crops up evey now and then with a new face. But does it convince the same people pushing for a rate drop to look elsewhere for fun?

Awww CLM you remembered..........

A woman is worth what she is worth to you.

The price you are willing to pay is a reflection of what it is you're looking for.

If you just want to get laid, then all you want to spend is $100 bucks.

If you want to spend quality time with a woman that you see & feel something for, you are willing to spend more.

Then there are, of course, women whom might be considered priceless. Does that mean it doesn't cost anything? Duh.

You get what you pay for, basically. And the more you give, the more you get.

But keep in mind that dollars and cents are not the only form of compensation. The more you give of yourself the more you get.

Just speaking from experience. Sometimes the greatest gift you can give a woman costs little or nothing.

Montreal, and true French Canadian culture is something you will find excels over all of the rest of Canada. The cost of pooning is reasonable, but there is some affection and loving that those French girls express that is usually above by far the more or less mechanical performance of the rest of this country.

Never mind Montreal alone though. Quebec City beats Montreal anytime, and if you really want to consider something else, consider this. The Saguenay Lac St Jean region north of Quebec city sports up to 7 females per male. And they are all beautiful and cozy. And with competition like that, the ladies will buy you a drink, hustle you at the bar, drive you home, and hey man, look after you if you are a nice person. Leave your wallet at home, it is heaven on earth.

Don't waste time in Victoria

A resounding yes! The French Canadian culture is of a more loving nature. No doubts the French Canadian women, if they like you, are a million times more engaging and romantic than other places in Canada. They are truly a perfect mix of beauty, intelligence and of a loving nature. Yes, you can forget about your wallet. The money part becomes irrelevant if they like you, which make me, want to give and do more.

Who wants to spend their money, let alone their time, with some sarcastic and angry woman who only sees ya as the next pay day? But, if that's all ya got, that's all ya got.

I do have to disagree with your assessment of Victoria; they have more than a few extremely hot ladies that are graced with a beautiful personality. I do agree with you on a romantic level, that Victoria is not in the league with Quebec City or Montreal.

The prices in Vancouver are high because the demand is high and there is a shortage of SP’s compared to the demand for them. As it has been said, it’s a free country; you don’t have to pay these higher prices.
