Why does that matter if everyone's change is relatively proportional? Taxes would be the same, no?

Units there were going for $1000 / sq ft during peak stupid buying season.
Built without a 4th, 13th and 14th floors but mostly Latino migrants in it now 
All the high rises in that area are pieces of shit.

Selfishly I don't want to see it but the reality is that it needs to happen since prices are so unaffordable.
City revenues are starting to see the hit - Vancouver just temporarily cut their development fees by 20% and are allowing 75% of the fees to be paid at occupancy while Burnaby had to lower their inclusionary zoning requirement to make condo development feasible. It's going to get worse as cities have been charging really high development fees that have been making new housing unprofitable.

Decline yes. Adjustment yes. Few years a of higher interest rates is meh... cause we did see a great 2-3 years of low interest rates during COVID. People never talk about the 40% increases.
Are prices affordable, in a way, I feel it's a correction. People did spend beyond their means and took it for granted. Unaffordable is defined differently for many. Who's ubering each day instead of taking the bus. Who's doing BBT on Skip every 2 days are the SAME people complaining while using a $100 phone plan with 100GB of data - "oh no.. Freedom sucks" (yet they are on wifi at home 80% of the time). I'm on the other hand saved $1000 end of year cause I moved form Rogers to virgin.
It's complaining about "I wnat to work from home"... shut the front door. It's been 2 years since COVID, it's getting back to normal. 100% work from home jobs are rare and almost like unicorns. You'll be lucky to be finding roles right now for a job.
No more 2 offers from 2 jobs and finding a job every month.
I see it as an adjustment.

This is lower than I expected for SFH in East Van. $1.29M which is 25% lower than the latest assessment and even lower than the last sold price in 2018. https://www.zealty.ca/property/BC/Va...T-mls_R3063477
The 1 bathroom was probably the deal breaker for most.

I think at peak we might've got $1.55M at best.
Realistically the land would make sense for assembly in the future, but there's plenty of other SFH lots in between Joyce station and our house that can be developed first so it'd be some time.

For swimming, I've been kicking around the idea of buying a wetsuit and do some winter ocean swimming at Jericho. I do distance swimming there and Third a lot in the summer, but never when it's cold.
Might be a new hobby.
Anyone here do any open ocean swimming in the winter?

I'm sure less people would replace these if their colours weren't so period specific.

My Seymour pass was $460 and I go about 20x a season. Whistler for 3 day epic card was $360 instead of $330 for a SINGLE DAY. I'll likely do one day cat boarding for my birthday too which is about $500/day, but every time you go its the literal best day of your life.

Loved the Grouse Y2K pass !! You buy it near the end of the season, get that time and the next year ski/snowboard pass. Under 16 was so cheap, accompanying adult was very reasonable. Hypothetically of course, if I had kids.

Seymour man, I wish I could get into that mountain, I find it so damn boring. Feels like you spend more time sitting on the lift than actually skiing on that little mountain.

Depends on the time you go, and especially what you’re doing. It’s the best place to ride park by a long shot. When you’re hitting jumps and cliffs and side hits it’s so goddamn fun. Cruising it isn’t much to do though. I usually go Monday or Tuesday day time then an evening on the weekends. Both really chill times.
