We have one full bathroom and a half bathroom on the main floor. I am good with that number, I don't have the desire to clean more bathrooms than that. Nevermind seven.

2 bathrooms per 3 bedrooms is basically the perfect ratio. Any more than that and your house's layout must be weird.

Sometimes I need to poo poo a lot - like, a lot - and I don't have time to flush in between bomb drops. The only way the sewage system can accommodate my septic holocausts is if I run from toilet to toilet in between heaves. This 7-bathroom house sounds like it was built with my extradimensional colon in mind. God bless Canada.

Maybe 1 bath in the living room for guests, and one in the basement which technically isn't a bedroom but you know... That would work out. In other news parents just closed on a land parcel in Victoria.

I thought that in Vancouver you can't actually leave a project unfinished - you either finish it or pay to tear it down. Though I guess with bankruptcy if there's no money there's no money.

The site on which the trump tower is to be built was abandoned for like 20 years.

They're retiring and like the country living, it's 5 acres, and honestly we drove the area and it's really not that "far out", you can get to all the shopping in Langford in 5 minutes and downtown in about 20, so no worse than most of Calgary in that regard.

Traffic can get crazy during rush hour. That 20 min can turn into an hour easy (which from a Victoria perspective would be, let me do the math, about a 6.3 hour commute for someone from Calgary. It's a bit like dog-years you see). But if they're retired and don't like the city or doing much anything they'll do fine, sit at home all day and drive to the nearly big-box every couple weeks for supplies. I don't get it but it's apparently a pretty attractive life for a lot of people.

spacemost posted:Ugh, forget that then. Kelowna is awesome to visit for a weekend in the right time of year. Go on a winery tour and get schwasted like a gentleman, hit up an orchard on your way out of town for some jam. Buying a piece of land there, though, is basically admitting you've given up on being a human being. It's a more indolent and self-involved version of building a cabin in the woods or joining a monestary.

The overarching theme is that most of these places would actually be pretty nice if property prices were in line with most other first country rural backwaters with no jobs, but with current price levels they are all terrible. So Canada is basically composed of 2 markets, "place with tolerable weather but no jobs and priced like only hedge fund managers live there" and "Winnipeg".

I love the area but actually living there would be a surrender. It is a retirement community coming to grips with what the boomer bubble is going to do to retirees property values.

Do people really, actually believe that Kelowna is a place with bright future prospects, chiefly among them exponential growth in housing prices? At least in Vancouver you can construct a self-soothing narrative about Mainland Chinese hot money, or in Calgary, oil extraction, or whatever. But Kelowna? You'd want your head examined to buy property there at half the price, let alone the current valuations. What gives?

Lexicon posted:Do people really, actually believe that Kelowna is a place with bright future prospects, chiefly among them exponential growth in housing prices? As has been stated, the narrative in Kelowna is EVERYONE wants to retire there. Now a lot of people do, so it's believable but the reality is not going to save the place. And no offense taken. There are only two things to do there. Be a student, or be retired and it is decent at both. I believe the leading industry is building strip malls so you can imagine what the job market is like.
