Alberta is basically the same, only instead of a cabin it's $100,000 toy hauler travel trailers, pulling them to kelowna or osoyoos, complaining about traffic, the cost of fuel, and the cost of storing and maintaining a $100,000 trailer that drops 50% in value year after year. RV dealerships often advertise 20 year loans on these things, there are people out there paying $500 a month for 20 years on a trailer that will be worth $5000 within 10 years, and still costs them $500/year to store. They often have $1000-$1500 payments on the truck they use to drag it around, too, owing $70,000 on a $60,000 truck because they rolled over what they owed on their last $60,000. You guys joke about truck equity, but there are people out there applying for loans listing their travel trailer equity as part of their net worth.

We use our money to go on vacation and stay somewhere with services provided and with no assumption of liability. Why the gently caress would anyone want to live in debt to own a cottage, truck and boat, all of which break down and require costly repairs and sit disused while they work extra hours to pay it all off? I know why, it's a desire to acquire things bred in to poor people by society, but jesus christ you'd think at some point people would have a moment of clarity while sitting in a four hour traffic jam outside Barrie on a Friday evening on the way to the cottage. We can spend a week on a cruise in the Caribbean, fly out to Quebec or BC for skiing, go to Europe or do whatever in Vermont for week all for the cost of a single monthly payment of these people.

for any holiday home you'll have to give up a significant amount of your vacation and spend it in the exact same place to make it worth it vs. just staying in hotels or holiday rentals. Even if you really like a place, you have to be willing to spend a ton of time there to justify it. I remember living in Ireland in 2007 watching a program about Irish people not able to make payments on their holiday homes in Croatia or Bulgaria or whatever. I remember saying to my Irish roommates, "why would they buy a place they couldn't afford?" One of them just said, "What are we supposed to do?" Pretty much the same with cottages. The culture is strong in Ontario. It much nicer to have a friend who has a cottage or a boat than to actually have one.

So does like every Canadian have a cabin or something? I don't know anyone here in the states with a cabin in the woods. Here people just go find a campground and throw down a tent/sleep in an RV.

We went through this before: the "cabin" exists for alcoholics in denial, so they can start pounding beer at 10AM because they're "on vacation" without feeling like alcoholics.

Baronjutter posted:From what I hear from friends in Ontario: You're forgetting a big one for waterfront owners: Be bugfuck insane about your property lines Around the bay where I live there's like a whole road down the waterfront that reaps a healthy harvest of cabins. These people, mostly from Toronto, have apparently memorized every square inch of their property lines and if someone swims 1mm over then it's shoutin' time and maybe a rousing round of physical assault if they're dismissed enough. My mother sometimes fills in for people on the phone lines during Cabin Season and from the stories she tells just a day there is all kinds of insanity.

And insincerely invite people to your cabin. Cabin trips are famous for their shittiness so it's probably a safe bet nobody will take you up on it. EDIT: weird double post sorry

So guys, I'm not sure if you know but Nanaimo real estate is hot as gently caress right now. How hot? This beauty was listed for $269k. Selling price? $31k over asking for a nice round $300k If houses in loving Nanaimo are going for this much over asking then I can't say I have much hope for this country. The crash is going to destroy so many people

The trick to owning a cottage is to not live in the GTA or some other sprawling urban wasteland so you can be at the cabin in an hour and it's viable to use every weekend. Trying to get to the cabin from the GTA is indeed a nightmare and part of why we left Toronto. Even though we don't own and tent it we can be set up before nightfall without even leaving work early if we're car camping or taking a half day for back country. Thats next to impossible if you come from the GTA.

The NDP, like every other party including the Greens, is ossified by a metric ton of career bigwigs who've been in charge their entire lives and hold an iron grip on party policy, and most voting members are boomers. Some radical like Eby, being even younger than J.Tizzy, will never be elected leader in this climate. Tl;Dr: Because we haven't had a big ol' war in too many generations and some old people just need to fuckin' die already. There is no wisdom nor value to be found in our current crop of elders.

I don't know anyone here in the states with a cabin in the woods. Here people just go find a campground and throw down a tent/sleep in an RV. Id say ~20% of cottagers traveling through Barrie in the summer up to cottage country are American with Ohio and Michigan plates being the vast majority of them. Its not a uniquely Canadian thing, though I do think its largely tied to the east coast of both countries. Also gently caress all those people, tax the poo poo out of the cottages to pay for all the infrastructure they constantly demand be built and maintained out in the middle of nowhere.

cowofwar posted:Cottages in Ontario aren't cabins, they are literal second homes with all amenities. I was confused since when I was in BC a cabin was just a shack with a wood stove. It's the same way in Alberta. Here's a 2 million dollar "cabin" at Pigeon Lake. https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/Single-Family/15866759/35-Silver-Beach-Road-Rural-Wetaskiwin-County-Alberta-T0C2C0-Silver-Beach And a 2.3 million dollar "cabin" at Sylvan Lake https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/Single-Family/16583896/141-Birchcliff-Road-Sylvan-Lake-Alberta-T4S1R6 However, I imagine a cabin in Northern Alberta would be more of a shack. Pigeon Lake is where everyone from Edmonton goes while Sylvan is Calgary.

The one person I know who sort of has a boat used to do this at some of the privately owned islands and isolated beaches rich people try to claim as their own. Even then they don't own the beaches, so him and his friends would go over and do beach-combing and fires and stay the night and party. Usually just for prime beach combing, but if some private property owner gave them poo poo you can bet they'd stay to party. They ended up finding a bunch of very expensive navigational buoys and other beach comby stuff and making some good money too.
