It used to be said that the American dream included owning a house with a white picket fence. By osmosis, it has been the Canadian dream too. It’s a wonderful idea to own a piece of land on which to design a home and arrange living affairs as one sees fit. It therefore intrigues me whenever I come across unique neighbourhoods that follow a different trend. No land, no white picket fence, no problem. ![Shore Neighbourhood01.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/23r1aXhmdJCnDQRVvx5DhEe7C2mkLLP58FUqJZH1z7PZpqdVEKpHHpykE4ciq4SL9AqAH.jpg) I guess, there’s no need for a fence around a floating ocean home. Poseidon himself is the security guard, except on land where he has no dominion, and a security fence is likely needed. ![Shore Neighbourhood02.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/23s9MEjsQxZJe6JzWnFiKqUnh3CQsQYL8jzpZ2Gn2Nd6SizoMXvRQGPE1H3focmyj7oS7.jpg) The trail that passes through this neighbourhood is part of a larger trans-Canada network that crosses urban and wilderness areas. ![Shore Neighbourhood03.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/242DLjkiFEhbpVCkNfx6p15M38WH9jvcaS3hPgJ7nJAC3LvX9MoySjm1rBZ7WJoDqeu3k.jpg) I like the idea of a floating home in principle. You get a view of the ocean and the city. I can only imagine what it looks like at night when the whole of downtown Vancouver lights up, and the north shore mountains look resplendent covered in snow. ![Shore Neighbourhood05.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/24325616WQkPV2KH4xrjTta1oU2DuUU8sivfgWxXhcXVeNpf9RcmdoXC5gZLBbG4Yok79.jpg) ![Shore Neighbourhood07.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/23ujXF5RAiyD2kXedepCuPzGm31DB88JeCyywdKhX2f1Sjowt9nLC5eB43JBkt6yuYcBr.jpg) Are the homes in constant rocking motion? What about stormy weather? Is swimming allowed? So many questions. ![Shore Neighbourhood04.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/242DBqte3W5qH7SDJwSmdxNEmayUquwMQCH4aWDWYuAjFdSGJVmZ8F8FC9Zhn7gHDxhBx.jpg) Being close to a large city, this is a controlled environment, but it is still extreme in its own way. So, it makes me wonder, who came up with this far out idea? ![Shore Neighbourhood06.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/245mrhr4wmUv7Tuw1uPw1Q2GPG1FT5aM1VncR3ZodzZ6ySBTnMGurSagi6jA152RmB4e6.jpg) Would you live in one of these places? Or do you prefer something a little more stable under your feet? ![Shore Neighbourhood08.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/48qV1AEJJEFaiZQTprWaC3uT9ECUp21DwrfBQhQQHai5E1oZEqZ2gzJw2EoAsfYdR2.jpg) Thank you for visiting! ### Related Posts [Wandering River Sights](https://peakd.com/hive-106444/@litguru/wandering-river-sights) [Growing the Future](https://peakd.com/hive-140635/@litguru/growing-the-future) [A Window into a Secret World](https://peakd.com/hive-106444/@litguru/c8afaa37) |[![X logo_2_xsm.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/AJecgMmDUgF93E2AYfZhSuEV18YwrJ7AmNXzAomRqzbwzXLVuT7ddPwJjH5Jnvf.png)](https://x.com/litguru23)|[![InLeo.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/AKxnKQnZb5pt8W8wS7ibusYdJHHMVUt2zjZE9HQ7EfxcfWfdZAPYYdhjtbX5mMi.png)](https://inleo.io/profile/litguru)|[![Psychedelic Instagram logo.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/AJoHtwg5jNLCE9bmNpaXFo7YdyUxN32Jn8PA9HsS1qsR6dH8RC66WCv337ZB6Me.png)](https://www.instagram.com/litguru23/)|[![girl with pearl earring.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/litguru/AJkR7G8QAKHYw87UqCH9jHbgZyfiT97yHJPsupJDHcG7dcianiT2pXs2PSbx6LD.png)](https://nftshowroom.com/litguru/gallery) |:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:| |[X](https://x.com/litguru23)|[InLeo](https://inleo.io/profile/litguru)|[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/litguru23/)|[NFT Showroom](https://nftshowroom.com/litguru/gallery)| *Images by @litguru*
