Yes–the same old argument why “our neighborhood is special” and will always hold value. Whether it’s Marin, Santa Barbara, SF, Seattle, or Vancouver, it all sounds the same. Your “Blasts from the Past” series is fascinating, especially this latest installment. The similarity of outlook between and current events is uncanny.

I'll be traking the local whatcom county market and I hope either this Seattle or the Vancouver blog covers the Bellingham/Blaine market. When the cost to own a home drops to the rent level, I'll buy a home here.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('58','goleta',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('58','goleta','I just moved to Bellingham, WA, from Santa Barbara last week and am currently renting.

You want visitors to check in daily and find something new. There are blogs I now bypass, because they don't update frequently. I know it's a balance. Keep up the good work.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('57','Anonymous',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('57','Anonymous','Tim, it\'s your blog, but I would try to put up at least one article a day, but not a lot more than that.

While there is room for some big general interest blogs, that space is limited. Much better to carve out your niche and stick to it.<br/><br/>Beyond that, we don't all have 5 hours a day to blog! I hope Ben finds a way to make some $$ out of the time he has invested in his site! Me, I'm in it for love, not money ;)<br/><br/>I stick mostly to Vancouver things, although I do like to post a few US, UK, and Aussie things now and then. Mostly because it gets the bulls all "But Vancouver is different than Sydney/London/San Diego." Nothing more fun than waving red flags in front of Bulls!<br/><br/>We'll be keeping an eye on you from the bubble up north!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('56','Van Housing Blogger',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('56','Van Housing Blogger','Hello Seattle!<br\/><br\/>I agree with your strategy - I think blogs work best with a tight focus.
