I am car-free and I live in Edmonton. Your options are a bit limited to where you want to live, have freedom of mobility and not own a vehicle but that applies to every city in the country. You're not going to find much service in the stereotypical suburban community composed of twists, turns and cul-de-sacs regardless if it is in Quebec or Alberta.

How much influence does the government have on the Bank of Canada to increase interest rates?

The difference between provinces isn't as pronounced as the difference between urban and rural as far as racism goes. Rural Ontario is just as bad as rural Saskatchewan, or BC, or Alberta.

Baronjutter posted:A bit of wasted space though, not a huge fan of the layout. I'd have made the kitchen/hall/living room one large space. Yeah, having lived in both styles I prefer the open layout. Saying that it is a nice looking place. But what is up with the bathtub? Is it really raised that far off the ground or is it an optical illusion.

man thats gross posted:This was including mortgage interest (used the default 5.5% despite rates currently being lower to account for future fluctuations), 0.8% property tax, 4% buying and 6% selling closing costs, 0.5% insurance, 1% annual for maintenance and renovations, and $200 monthly utilities. I've been lurking in this thread and I will explain something to you. No matter how you do the numbers, no matter how much they are in your favour, no matter what your life situation is, this thread will always argue and grasp any straws that it is better to rent than it is to buy and you are an Flavor-aid drinking idiot if you think otherwise. If the numbers work out in your favour then do it. The only thing I can think of is that the housing market might fall out badly in Toronto but it sounds like you got that accounted for.

Shifty Pony posted:wait, "tenant's maintenance" is included in the rental costs? I was not aware that tenants were in any way responsible for repairs. It depends on the agreement. The Calgary Housing Company makes the tenant responsible for heater and electrical maintenance, snow shoveling and lawn care and keeping the exterior of the unit clean.

You can't knock that wage up a nickel for a round $10 like everyone else? Sovy Kurosei fucked around with this message at 05:24 on Jan 1, 2014 |

Mr. Wynand posted:Oh man, the cab monopoly, that poo poo drives me up the wall even moreso than the Port Mann. Limiting cabs is the one way to make sure that cab operators make enough money and avoid a tragedy of the commons and a race to the bottom. It is pretty much the equivalent of minimum wage for cab companies. It is a balancing act between the public and the operators.

The place I own already lost tens of thousands of dollar in value as far as the City of Edmonton is concerned. I got that update in the beginning of January so I imagine it will get much worse as this year goes on.
