Grand Theft Autobot posted:Hahahaha holy poo poo that is so goddamn much money. What does your friend do for a living? Does he play for the loving Blue Jays or something? Seeing that the Major League minimum is $480,000 and most lenders will approve 3 times annual income for a mortgage they don't have to make nearly that much.

At least what I was getting at is although they are rich it's not an outrageous amount of money for educated DINKs.

Well if housing prices are going up in real dollars then definitionally it's not inflation.

For reference, would a maybe-not-worst-case-but-real-bad scenario of a housing crash like Japan had be considered a "soft landing"?

Lexicon posted:I dunno - isn't Japan usually the polar opposite of us on the price-to-rent ratio charts these days? That seems like the outcome of a pretty extreme crash. Right, but I thought Japan didn't bottom out sharply. I thought it was just a sluggish drop-off from the peak followed by a 10 year economic quagmire. Edit: Is the term "soft landing" used for the mechanism of the crash, I.E. sharp versus gradual or for the result of the crash I.E. no decrease in quality of life after the crash?

etalian posted:Things like the light rail plan fell apart since the GOP actively sabotaged it such as diverting funds originally intended for mass transit into building more highways around the city. Which returns to the fact that Austin isn't an oasis in Texas, it's just another lovely regular part of Texas.

Rime posted:All I'm getting out of this is that there is $100B+ in imaginary equity floating around balance books, since "the market" cannot absorb all that property at its currently inflated prices once these elderly or their estates try to liquidate. The moral is if your kill your parents now you'll be rich. Just don't let your parents die after everyone else's.

peter banana posted:Welp, I heard the craziest condo purchase plan from a coworker yesterday. He bought a condo in Thornhill, ON based off of plans and spec (he brought it up because he drove past the site on the weekend and they had broken ground!) which will be move in ready in January 2016. Instead of coming to the developer with a down payment he said, "I paid $5000 down, and I'll pay $1200 a month until move-in towards the down payment! What a great purchase plan!" I wonder if they delay opening the condo if he just keeps on paying $1200 a month forever?

Cultural Imperial posted:YES. And as someone who hates Canada, I can say that I think SFU and ubc are better universities than UCSD. Given that pretty much all ranking should be taken with a bigassed grain of salt you realize that UBC and UCSD are both about 30 on the world university rankings and SFU is like 300.

Grand Theft Autobot posted:In Minnesota (I live in St. Paul), the Local Government Aid program has a formula for distribution that includes: % of housing stock built pre-1940, 10-year population decline, # of vehicle accidents annually, and designation of "central city." It probably also don't hurt that the Twin Cities were hit just about the lightest in the country from the bubble and have one of the strongest economies afterward.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:This is one of those things that infuriates me about BC, but Canada in general as well. Endless moaning about needing to densify, and running out of space. WHAT?! 95% of the loving country is uninhabited, use some of it for christ sakes. Sure, we need to preserve our forest and wild lands, but gently caress, you could literally double the amount of livable space in the country and it wouldn't make a loving dent in anything. I think the people who want densification isn't because room is going to run out it's because they don't want the garbage sprawl you guys already have almost everywhere to be everywhere.
