all nations are receding into isolationism nowadays. Thanks to that orange muppet. People can blame the immigrants for failing economies, lack of opportunities, resources, etc. its the oldest playbook in human civilization.
You would figure with all this internet shit we be more unified and connected. nope... instead its even more divisive because you can easily retract into your own echo chamber and stay there.
Im just waiting for that UFO who shrugged off that hellfire missile to start blasting. This timeline is horseshit.

It's not they... a lot of hard working students / couples who bought in 2023 really got in shit too. Those who risked on deposits on some 3rd tier developement whom just got foreclosed or whatever you call it.
I say the same thing each time people blame the immigrants. Hey, your grandma just sold her 1980 bungalow and now is a 1.5 M from a house that was 300k. You know your mom and dad got a chunk, and grandma also paid for your university... yeah.. no one talks about that...
OH now she can't buy an apartment cause she's really working retail and wanting to live on Burrard drinking $7 Uber delivered lattes wonders why renting is so expensive while her Fido bill is 100GB at $120 / mth.

“The market is shit”
Proceeds to look at 1.9 million dollar teardowns in east Van.
People want affordable housing but don’t want their “investment” that they live in to go down so what is gonna make Canadians happy?

I mean then, you don’t want affordable housing, which is fine. Just don’t ask for it. It’s just that you can’t have both.

We should look to our great ancestors for answers to our housing dilemma (both whites and Chinese) just colonize some poor backwater and kill the natives take their land.
Like Portugal?
Win-win-win!

we have plenty of land. we are just hampered by our inability to exploit it. All these fucking chug treaties are idiotic and holding back the economic progress of canada. You lost the war okay? take your shinny beads and go the fuck home already.
We have super low population density, we just need more people to move to the interior which they would do, if those places had adequate jobs and incentives. We are blessed with abundant natural resources and yet we give it away pennies on the dollar. This country should be rich as fuck.
If the government pulled a move like what they did in Georgia, basically incentivize people to move there by having minimal corporate tax, sales tax, etc. Then we can revamp places like the Yukon, NWT, Sask, MB, etc. Or even the interior of BC, start creating special economic zones ala shanghai or shenzhen. Kelowna and Kamloops should have wayyy bigger populations

K, you fuckers move to Kelowna, Alberta, NWT. Send all the buddy guys there to serve you like indentured slaves.
I'm happy where I am on the waterfront thank you very much.
See where that discourse gets us? No one wants to give up what they have already but we also can't force people to live where it's less desirable.

If the government were to say give kelowna zero sales tax, lower personal tax, you dont think half the people here would flood over there? its all about incentives.

I was just in Edmonton, where I'm from actually but no longer have any ties to. I don't think I'd ever move back there unless I want a giant house for my non-existent offspring to run around in. The city is flat, featureless and dusty. 4 hours to anything of naturalistic interest. Just nah... you'd have to give me a free house and 6 months PTO before I'd consider it. And that's in the summer!
And with half the country on fire for half the year now, that doesn't really sweeten the pot either.

get the fuck outta here? youre from edmonoton too? thats where we first landed. I went to that scared heart elementary school where the nuns beat the engrish into my ass.
i really enjoyed my childhood there. i thought it was very wholesome. We just played street hockey, watched hockey, pushed those IGA karts around pretending it was a race car, and then go to west edmonton mall which was like a heaven on earth for a kid.

Of course hobz was a mall rat.
Edmonton is nice in terms of indoor entertainment, geographically it sucks. It’s so difficult to live a healthy lifestyle there. It’s a good place for certain lifestyles, not mine.

Sorry if this was mentioned earlier, but has anyone been following this situation in West Van? https://globalnews.ca/news/11415256/...ilt-structure/
They built an entire second building with zero permits, and right at the top of an embankment leading down to a creek. District Council voted (twice, now) to force them to demolish it.
