Baronjutter posted:Like.. the loving opening paragraph is just a list of every home-ownership falsehood out there. The entire tone of the article reads like a cheesy sales pitch. How is that an article and not one of those ads-that-looks-like-an-article things papers sometimes have? I guess since that distinction is long gone? It is one of those things, isn't it? I mean it's written by a mortgage broker and it even has a link to his website at the bottom.

Cultural Imperial posted:Cool, I live practically next to you. I'm paying $1500/month (700sq ft 1br) for one of those new places behind the Mt Pleasant community center, how bout you? Sup Mt Pleasant buddy, my wife and I are in a one-bedroom apartment near Guelph Park. The building's a bit 70s but the apartment just got renovated before we moved in. It's a nice place if you can get past all the novelty facial hair and tall bikes.

Call me stupid, but how do they measure debt in these cases? Like, if I put $1000 worth of stuff on my credit card but I have $2000 in a bank account, does that still count as $1000 of 'consumer debt' for the purposes of that article?

blah_blah posted:Within a 50 meter radius of where I am right now, there are at least 5 (probably more) companies with a valuation/market cap of 2-40x that of the crown jewel of the SILICON VALLEY NORTH startup scene. I was back in Vancouver the other week and talking with a friend and she was telling me about all of the amazing perks that Hootsuite employees get (she doesn't work there but had been to the office). I didn't have the heart to tell her what the offices at places like AirBnB were like. hahaha I work at a university and I make more than that

Reverse Centaur posted:It really is physically gorgeous when it isn't raining. But it rains a lot, and there isn't much else going on. That said, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in Canada. The summers are phenomenal. Seriously Vancouver has the nicest summers of any place I've ever lived. Also everyone in our building is getting booted out of their apartment so the owners can
