Hey y'all, I'm moving over to KW soon! Private/individual owners respond about half the time but I've bafflingly found that leasing agents will simply not email me back - maybe about 1 in 10? And it's a 0% hit rate on voicemails. What's the deal? Shouldn't 'professional' leasing agents get back to me more regularly?

For context - I live in a city with much tighter rental market currently (Vancouver) and I've never had this issue.

Also, shameless plug - feel free to slide into my DMs if you have a great lead on 1+den or 2bed places near Laurier or the LRT line for a professional couple in their 30s ✌

I get that BC Pkwy is difficult to route, but 10th Ave Bikeway is a breeze - why doesn't Google Maps ever let you route onto it? I've even tried to manually set the routing along there and Google Maps fights me tooth and nail every step of the way...

I just had one of the best over-the-phone customer service experiences of my life. Just blown away.

I called into Lightspeed as an existing customer to discuss my internet speeds. I noticed some lag if I was gaming at the same time as my partner was watching Netflix - precious miliseconds that were a problem for my gaming.

First of all, I got through within about 2 minutes, which was impressive in itself!

I gave the rep my customer number and he listened to my problem, and almost immediately he told me that they now have a lower price ($32 as opposed to the $39 I was paying), so he would be telling billing to lower my bills. I then saw that the next package up was $39, so I said maybe in
