Cancel your cable, comrade. You have nothing to lose but your chains crappy overpriced service that costs more ever few months, most of which you probably wouldn't watch if it wasn't bundled with the five channels you actually like.

For one month of cable you can get yourself a yearly VPN sub which is free reign to pirate everything.

Media companies still aren't dying fast enough. Do your part.

We can stream stuff from SportsNet thanks to someone who has a sub making us an email address we can log in with.

Half the time pirate streams are higher quality and more reliable.

Same with the one down the street from my mom, but they listed at $800k (it's at $760 now) and I'd have probably just given up all hope forever if it sold at that amount, since it means that's more or less what my mom's rancher in Mission would have been worth.

even if prices drop a little bit, they're just going to keep going up in the long term like they always have. if you haven't bought in already you may as well accept that you probably never will and bend over for your landlord.

I think the idea is that only kids and young adults today will ever be able to buy their house if their parents are rich enough to big time help, and those parents will only be able to help if they're already growing fat housing equity. The house rich get house richer and the poor get jacked rents. Capitalism will ensure that over generations the wealth and owership associated with housing will fall into fewer and fewer hands without regulations or a crisis shaking things up. And we know the government is too fearful to implement meaningful regulations, and a crisis is impossible because they aren't making more land and this time it's different.

I don't see why people think they need a VPN to do this. Only thing that's going to happen without one is your ISP might send you a weakly worded email.

If you have two kids, you borrow against the home equity to pay for kid 1's down payment. Kid 2 inherits your over-leveraged house.

The weird thing about being house rich is that you have to live somewhere, and if everywhere goes up just as much as your house, you don't really come out ahead. So unless those people sell their house and decide to rent (doubtful) or move somewhere cheaper they don't come out ahead. It works real well if you're in an up and coming city and you can keep moving out to the sketchy parts of town and wait for gentrification, but it doesn't really work if it's a national trend.

I'm in the US, I've been following this thread for years, and it's completely fascinating. It's like I'm watching a remake of an old movie and I already know the plot but there's different actors this time. Also most of the people in the theatre don't seem to have seen the original and they really think the protagonist is going to make it.

Vancouver version is #wanderlust. I was up in Cape Scott in August and ran into a couple who'd set their campsite up in a sea cave. Stopped to tell them they'd drown, apparently they were just there for the instagram shots with all their gear and driving back to a Port Hardy motel.

Have also run into dozens of asians on popular hiking trails who stand there changing into different outfits while their friends take photos.

Basically kill everyone hiking the frontcountry, IMO.

yeah I'm just playing devil's advocate with my posts on this page but it's so bad here in Victoria that i can't see prices dropping to an "affordable" level without the kind of economic downturn that fucks everyone anyway. if they drop %30 they're still out of reach for most working people.
