You don't need the million up front. You get like $80k from your parents to help with the down payment and you're golden.

That landlord story is just lol. Lady you own an asset, you couldn’t think to sell it to someone who actually can afford to rent it out and then use your enormous windfall to buy/rent another place for yourself? Hilarious lack of investigation on the part of the reporter(s).StoicRomance posted:There are only four livable cities in Canada. I used to live in northern BC and actually liked it, but: 1) I could have just been lucky in who I knew + visible privilege 2) My partner prefers city life 3) Our parents live here, so unless we can convince them to pack up with us (or prepare to abandon them in old age) we’re stuck here

leftist heap posted:It's pretty funny to rail against the Big Liberal Cities for housing problems when the NIMBYism is probably just as bad or worse in outlying suburbs that are much more conservative. Feels like a very missed opportunity here for Poilievre to not point out the housing problems of Brampton Ontario, where a certain competing candidate is Mayor.

She's not blameless but she was couch surfing during a pandemic with her restaurant closed down. I'm sure she looked at options.

There are a lot more reason why someone might not want to move to a different city. Careers situation and family situation among other things might somewhat prevent a lot of people from exiting the hotter spots.

supersnowman posted:There are a lot more reason why someone might not want to move to a different city. Careers situation and family situation among other things might somewhat prevent a lot of people from exiting the hotter spots. Agreed. So, do you think that the hottest of the housing markets in Canada are hot because people are having too many kids and there's not room for them all? No, it's because everyone's trying to move to the same drat place. It's pushing the people who live there out. If we're going to cool the insane real estate market in this country, I think you have to make it more desirable for people not to move to those markets. If you want to cool investment, you have to have people saying "no, actually, gently caress renting this shithole at usurious prices, if you want to invest in this, I'm not helping to pay your mortgage." We have enough room in this country for everyone, and a whole fuckton of immigrants beyond that; the supply issue pales in comparison to the demand issue. We need leadership at the federal and provincial levels to make smaller, less constrained cities, more desirable places to build a life.

Ironically with covid there has been a bit of a shift towards more rural communities, which has jacked the prices there skyhigh as well You used to be able to get somewhere kinda affordable up island from Victoria, but now everything up to campbell river is pricey as gently caress due to all the Vancouver boomers cashing out and moving over

berenzen posted:Victoria maybe? DrBox posted:Hard to sell the place in that condition with a renter living in it that does not pay rent. This kind of article is always just disappointing to me because it doesn’t get at anything beyond the surface complaints. She played within the rules just fine, she’s allowed to reclaim the property for her personal use and had a reasonable expectation that the situation would be resolved in a much more timely way. But the way our laws are set up creates such a power imbalance. The reasons people become small time landlords are interesting (it’s treated as though there’s little to no risk involved, “passive income”). Laws that allow for short notice evictions are interesting too - they have to operate under the premise that tenants can actually find new housing, and that the disruption to their lives is trumped by the rights of property ownership. Just longing for meatier reporting than anecdotes as news, I guess…

TBQH me and my wife regret building out by Selkirk. It's just a tad too far and plan on going back to Winnipeg in about 4-5 years. Living in rural is simply not a good option IMO. Also, sounds like this system coming tonight is gonna crush SW MB around Brandon and for Winnipeg and SE MB it'll be stormy but hopefully not too bad.

kaom posted:Transit, parking, housing, shopping all Unfortunately the rules are dumb which is why tenants rightfully rebel against them. Ludicrous that you can just kick someone out of their home because "I need it now". Nahhh, you made it a rental, it's a rental now. Only way you should be able to evict someone is if they miss some number of payments or I guess if they're willfully destroying the place. Or you could pay them to leave if you want. Also, no renovictions. If there are needed repairs that require vacating the premises they get to come back at the exact same rent. Landlords have too many rights and not enough risk.

Vintersorg posted:TBQH me and my wife regret building out by Selkirk. It's just a tad too far and plan on going back to Winnipeg in about 4-5 years. Living in rural is simply not a good option IMO. I'm hoping for a paradigm shift back to the way things were before automobile dependance where there's major metropolitan centers and also small tightly knit communities with self sufficient ammenities coupled with generally a complete abandonment of rural living for the sake of it. There's no reason to live in the middle of nowhere if you're not working the land and as transportation and infrastructure costs get so out of hand we're going to have to stop doing it eventually. Living in Selkirk itself doesn't seem that terrible if you have a job there but living there and commuting here is a bit unsustainable in the long run.

We need leadership at the federal and provincial levels to make smaller, less constrained cities, more desirable places to build a life. Speaking only about Ottawa here, but our city council have gone in with both feet on the urban sprawl ponzi scheme: Take money from developers to build SFHs further out, at a density too low to pay for their own infrastructure, with infrastructure too frail to allow high-rise infill, and make up the shortfall by taking money from developers to build more SFHs even further out than that. I'd suggest the province get into the business of council houses, but I know they'd bungle it. So what happens to these people when the market adjusts and their seven-figure mortgages put them underwater twice-over on their property? Does CMHC just go broke, or do the feds "encourage" lenders to refinance?

I'm reasonably sure the knock-on effects of an adjustment of that scale will leave the Canadian economy a smoking crater, so it's probably moot.
