As in you're driving down the road and you see a truck and the driver, then snap a picture of the license plate and short that truck/driver in one go. Price discovery!

I...I have to admit that after months of "PS4 Internet Cafe" and "Google Market" (which was just a corner shop selling food, using the google logo), I did not immediately see anything wrong with this.

They're probably actually going to be paying pretty high rent for that real estate. And here I was talking with someone the other day about how I thought internet cafes no longer really exist in most of North America.

Rent is too high for mom-and-pops, and there's not enough customers for American Apparel. So they sit vacant.

I'm not joking, like every single chronically vacant retail space in the city is now a dispensary. There's about 5 within a few blocks of my apartment alone. Also, I have no idea what's actually going into that retail space, I'm 99% sure it won't be an internet cafe. Also also, Ferris is very good and is always good forever.

Vancouver, previously known for being the only city with more Starbucks than Tim Hortons, now also has more pot dispensaries than Tim Hortons. Now Starbucks versus pot dispensaries, that's the new statistic we need to gather. My only firsthand experience with it is when the Allstate Batteries store near my work became a pot dispensary. I shrugged, because I thought it was a stupid idea in the first place to use retail space to sell automotive batteries. Probably more useful after the change. I can only imagine Rona Ambrose's head exploding if she ever visited Vancouver, where you have giant pot leaf signs on street corners and neon lights enticing you to WEED WEED WEED. less than three fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Aug 19, 2015 |

I'd love to know if there's actually enough demamd to support even a fraction of these places, or if everyone's just so excited to be a respectable seller of weed that they're rushing in and there's going to be a huge crash in a year or so. I don't know what if any flexibility they have to compete on price. Does someone make some kind of coupon deal with Oregano's and clean up? Is this why there are so many new burrito places lately?

THC posted:Rent is too high for mom-and-pops, and there's not enough customers for American Apparel. So they sit vacant. But, like, why the gently caress are so many landlords content to receive nothing for months or years on end, as opposed to a non-zero fraction of their ideal rental amount? I'm clearly not smart enough to understand what it takes to be a retail landlord as this seems to be the way they all operate, at least in BC and fittingly, its capital especially so.

The Economist has released their liveability ranking for 2015 and it's full of this thread's favourites. I guess affordable housing is not a criteria for liveability.

Obviously the more expensive a city is to live in, the more liveable it is.

Perth has great infrastructure as long as you don't want to go more than 5 km from downtown. You could say the same about Toronto except that rents are 40% cheaper and the city is roughly twice as dense. Also there's a pond nearby that smells utterly foul every time it rains and it took some serious googling to find one random comment explaining that it's probably a nice algal or bacterial bloom, yummm. You would figure that if the ranking were about quality of life if money is no object, then American cities should rank much higher. What's wrong with London anyhow?
