This beauty is for sale in my neighbourhood: http://www.sabrerealtygroup.britishcolumbia.remax.ca/listing/100064512-150112743/310-alberta-st-new-westminster-bc-v3l%203j3/ Turns out the seller did some very ambitious home renovations without a single city permit. The front door of the house gets more festive every day.  Still tons of interested parties coming by daily, but no one is allowed inside.

Hey CI so just wondering are you just coming out as straight up racist I mean it's cool if you are because it's not racism if it's true right but anyway if you could just come forward and clear the air on the issue that would be great.

PC Financial is telling me all about limited-time offer of a 2.97% fixed-rate 4-year mortgage. That's not all - I could also get up to 1,000,000 PC points if I apply now!! Ok, I guess free groceries for a few years is a more useful bonus than a new car***, but still. I was going to say something about how ridiculous it is for them to push a mortgage on to me knowing my income and transfers for most of the last few years, but then I realized that income isn't really an obstacle anyways.

YAY, MORE ANECDOTES! My wife's spoken to a lot of people she works with in residential construction and apparently there's already a shift away from these silly overpriced condos and gigantic houses because they aren't selling. Builders are scrambling to redesign projects so they can sell at lower price points while still making a profit. Granite counter tops, brushed aluminum bullshit and floor to ceiling windows are on their way out because in the past six months these units have been getting way harder to sell. One of the general contractors she works for actually let some demolition permits expire because they're completely throwing out the plans they have now. Their previous projects have all had their prices slashed to the point where they'll barely break even if they sell at all. at least for Winnipeg,

Not only does Winnipeg have condos, it has gems like half a million (now discounted to only 400K) 2 bedrooms in low rises and a new building that's literally called 'Glasshouse' where units are selling for the same price as you'd pay for a house that's only 10 minutes away and twice as big. I can't wait to see what happens when you subject a glass walled condo building to a climate that goes from +40 to -40 every year.

It really isn't like this is just some out of character slip-up obviously based on a forgiveable historic misunderstanding. He's been saying border-line racist things all thread, here and the Canada thread too. Like he just comes off as the sort of person that wouldn't necessarily pull a "I'm not racist but", but would still say the thing that usually follows that opening if made to feel sufficiently comfortable.

Glasshouse just broke ground so it won't be anything to look at. The retarded condos are just off Corydon and are ugly as sin. EDIT: You can go see the hilarious sales office for Glasshouse though in Winnipeg Square. From there it's only a few minutes walking under ground to the famous spot where some guy took a poo poo in a planter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CFkdOWcNCM EvilJoven fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Jul 31, 2014 |

So just back on topic, anyone know where I can find the historical CMHC mortgage terms? Like when exactly did those crazy 35+ year mortgage terms happen? I vaguely recall maybe 2008? But the Vancouver price increase was already picking up steam all the way back in 2003 or so. This sort of upsets my "CMHC is to blame for everything ever" narrative. Interest rates were pretty high up to 2008 as well so it's not that either.

There was a wiki with all the CMHC changes, I once used to lob at someone trying to blame it all on the Martin government, however Google is letting me down today.

None of them are poo poo heads, none of them own anything, all their friends are pretty cool. Just a nice hoard of 30-something working class renters trying to get by in an ok city with a lot of lovely property owners. Because generalizing all people who are sufficiently financially independent to own property isn't just as lovely as any other sweeping generalization about a group of people.
