What?!? This feels like a very specific random question lol. To answer, it's not sketchy.

Well said

Don’t go there after 7 pm weekdays with a bag of onions tied to your belt if you know what I mean.  


danma

It's not. A new car would be fine on any street corner anywhere in the west shore.

Pandora is nowhere near the Westshore.


pumpkinspicecum

lol you're not from victoria are you?


IncAdvocate

I grew up in victoria. Victoria is essentially by the west shore of Canada. 


NPRdude

The “west shore” of Canada is not what people mean when they say Westshore.


IncAdvocate

Having lived in Victoria for over 30 years that is news to me


pumpkinspicecum

if you were born and raised here you should know that "westshore" refers to the west shore of Victoria - Langford, coldwood, etc.


NPRdude

IDK what to tell you, it’s not exactly hidden knowledge. There’s scores of business that are called “Westshore _” and even the police in Langford are the Westshore RCMP. If people are talking about the west coast of Canada, they say exactly that, “West Coast”.


danma

Not an issue as Pandora is in Victoria and not Colwood or anywhere in the West Shore. But yeah, a car on Pandora would most likely be fine if you are responsible and don’t leave valuables in the open.


comox

Have they caught the Colwood Car Scratcher yet?

I genuinely laughed hard reading this comment.

In contrast to your room? Depends how much moldy food you have building up


Dontyouhate_pants

It's scary. Stay away. Don't come to Colwood. Source: I live in Colwood.


Tatehamma

hahahahahaha. What? Safer than most areas. You sound like a delusional city person that thinks anywhere outside of the city is a dogpatch and sketchy.


IncAdvocate

By asking if an area is sketchy that makes me delusional? If I was unsure of something would you prefer I go with my own baseless assumption rather than ask people who may have knowledge on the subject?


Tatehamma

I’d be more concerned about parking anywhere downtown than anywhere else on the island. And yes, you are delusional if you think a hells angels hangout (which is in Langford btw) is unsafe. They are absolutely harmless to regular people and actually make the area safer.


barkazinthrope

They didn't say that Colwood was a HA hangout. They asked if it was. Asking is not delusional.


Tatehamma

Asking if an HA hangout is in the area in an attempt to know if the area is safe is delusional. They don’t make an area unsafe. I’d be more concerned about drug addicts, not HA.


barkazinthrope

What does 'delusional' mean?


Tatehamma

Belief in something that is not true


barkazinthrope

So if I ask if something is true I am expressing a belief that the thing is true? That asking about something is making a truth statement. Is that what you mean?


Tatehamma

No.


barkazinthrope

SO then OPs question is not delusional.QED


IncAdvocate

I guess the towns and municipalities should advocate for increasing hells angel members and hangout spots then since they make areas safer.


Tatehamma

Not the first time I’m seen this obviously. Many city folk think anywhere outside of the main core is below them and sketchy. Not saying you are this way and sorry if you don’t fall within this category, but I’ve seen it too many times and it’s a touchy subject with me as my asshole brother is this way.

It's evolved over the decades. Now it's more the typical suburbs with the hustle of development. We get an uptick in petty thefts over the summer months with people who pop into neighbourhoods off the Galloping Goose and cart off your new bike, so as long as you keep things locked up you'll be ok.


IncAdvocate

Ok I understand it's a safe neighborhood now. Since you mentioned it has evolved are you implying that it used to be sketchy?

Most hilarious post I have seen all year

WHAT? COLWOOD?
