Superstore, Walmart, and Save-on Foods are cheaper, yet a hassle to visit. Marketplace is 2 blocks away. | They'r not a hassle if you plan ur week in advance. Yes, of coz u'll miss something here & there and it'll be cheaper to pick up at some place close by even if it charges a premium. But overall, ppl can save quite a big chunk of money just by proper planning

I would guess that LD made the decision to push back opening until there were actual residents to turn into customers?

I still cannot imagine how much people who shop only at Safeway/Whole Foods/Urban Fare/Meinhardts/... spend on groceries.  | |

This might be another reason people aren't buying the units: Quote:
At the Albertville winter Olympics, condom machines in the athletes’ village had to be refilled every two hours. And in Sydney the organisers’ original order of 70,000 condoms went so fast that they had to order 20,000 more. Even with the replenishment, the supply was exhausted three days before the end of the competition schedule. (For the record, athletes who were in Sydney report that the Cuban delegation was the first to use up its allocation.) Salt Lake City in 2002 went even bigger: 250,000 condoms were handed out, despite the objections of the city’s Mormon leadership.
"There’s a lot of sex going on. You get a lot of people who are in shape, and, you know, testosterone’s up and everybody’s attracted to everybody," says Breaux Greer, a shaggy-blond Californian who competed in the javelin at the Sydney Games.

People should CSI that shit with a UV light before purchasing a unit.

When it comes to produce, I wouldn't touch Superstore or Walmart with a 10-foot pole.

What's going on here? What happened to all the billionaire chineese investors that were going to buy up every inch of property during/after the olympics??
Oh thats right, the realtors and other industry retards saying that were just trying to make sure they could pay their bills... in the least ethical way possible.
I feel bad for the people who were dumb enough to buy one of those shit hole condos. I'm sure they are all very upset right about now.
