Yes, lateral movement is good. It's something that good candidates often ask about during interviews.

Femtosecond posted:I know an artist at EA who modelled all the stadiums for one game, then on the next project he was disappointed when he was assigned to model all the stadiums again. He had somehow become "the stadium guy" and he got bored and left. Heh, same with my dad at EA. He wasn't an artist but was in charge of the FIFA stadium crowds when technology went from allowing 2d sprites to 3d polygon models. He lasted two years and quit.

Yo people in this thread who actually know things about buildings: I was curious and thinking about shared laundry and stuff: in buildings that have shared laundry rather than a built-in one for each apartment, is it hard/easy/impossible to put one into your individual apartment if you decide you want your own laundry anyway? Assuming in this theoretical that the person owns the apartment, so no landlord issues.

You just need to be able to route the exhaust somewhere. I've heard you can legally route it through your kitchen fan duct.

HookShot posted:Oh so there's no real issue with plumbing and stuff? That's cool, I always figured it would be really hard to do. There actually can be issues with the plumbing i.e. backflow problems into other people's sinks and other units losing water pressure or running all hot/cold. This is even with portable units. They are also a big source of leaks - that's why most modern buildings with ensuite units have special closets with drainage built especially for them. You might not have a landlord but you still have a condo board who can take legal action against you. Check your rules - if they specifically allow them, then you're good, but don't be surprised if there's a rule against them. Also if you are allowed, make absolutely sure your insurance covers leaks.

Whatcha guys think about approaching a landowner regarding their parcel and offering to work out a private contract solution rather than a traditional mortgage, since banks won't finance land in BC unless you have an 85% downpayment and loving  at that ever happening?I think it's savvy AF, since it insulates me if rates ever jump to 20% again like the 80's.

So it's definitely not super easy, thanks guys. It was a total hypothetical, luckily I actually do have an en-suite laundry where I am now. Also I'm pretty sure the plumbing in our building sucks because this conversation suddenly explains the backflow problems we occasionally have into our sink

That seems foolish, if society is actually on the course for severe destabilization / collapse, is it better to: A. Live in a van and have a shitton of money, which will become worthless. B. Live normally and have no money, and thus starve to death. C. Have a self-sustaining homestead on an isolated island, filled with the last holdouts of the back-to-the-land movement in Canada, and have no money but at least some lemon trees.

RBC posted:"soft landing" I'd say the upper end and distant suburb detached home market collapsing while not loving over middle class people who just barely got into a condo/townhouse as soft as we could have expected. Of course, it's not over yet. namaste faggots posted:You just need to be able to route the exhaust somewhere. I've heard you can legally route it through your kitchen fan duct. My building also requires all sorts of plumbing for drainage/flood prevention, making it virtually impossible. Electrical is also an issue.

I don't think detached houses in Coquitlam will get as low as $490k. The real pain will be on the other side of the Fraser. $490k condos was not what I was talking about either.

To be fair, unless you are a certain age you can be forgiven for not realizing that there are location interactions in property values. A friend that moved to Vancouver last year was wondering why condos downtown were similarly priced to condos in Port Coquitlam. Hopefully things start mattering again.

Lexicon posted:We actually allow people to have a sale take place over 3 years to facilitate their avoidance of capital gains?? You can for up to four years after the year in which the sale was made (so over 5 years in total), provided you don't receive all of the proceeds. There are some stipulations, but yeah, there's a calculation to be made to figure out how much you can withhold on the capital gain that factors in how much is left owing to you, etc. You can't just decide to withhold it.
