“The way things are at the moment, I think we would be selling to around 50%, for sure, to the Mainland Chinese people. These Mainland Chinese people not only live in China a lot of them are stationed here [in Vancouver] already… Either they’re upgrading their homes, or they’re buying a second home, or buying for investment purposes.”


Where's my shotgun???

[El Bastardo]

Do you even own a house. If you owned a house that was for sale wouldn't you be happy someone was buying it?

I'm sick and tired of people who can't afford to buy a house complaining about people who can afford to by a house.

[StylinRed]

^^^ well it makes sense if they're complaining about people who don't even live here

[Manic!]

I don't here people complaining about Donald Trump or Jim Patterson or people that own more than one car.

[StylinRed]

they aren't driving the entire market prices up though

ppl like jim patterson/ donald trump buy properties to develop and the developed apartments/houses are made available to the public... now if it was merely people who resided here that purchased those developed properties prices wouldn't skyrocket as they are..

as for cars... the prices of them aren't going to skyrocket when a person buy 3 or 4 of them...

They also own houses they don't live in. Jim Patterson owns Liz Taylors old house that was in the first F&F. Housing prices are always going to go up that's just how the economy works.

[1exotic]

this isn't news.

but too bad their money can't buy driving skills for them.

[StylinRed]

no housing prices aren't always going to go up


where jim pattison owns a house in the states and if he lives in it or not i wouldnt know or care about.. its a different market..

if people in LA want to hate on him particularly rather than foreign owners in general i'll have no problem with it that is if absentee foreign ownership has caused a problem in housing prices for them

In the long run housing prices do go up.

Who cares where the owners are from. The home owners, real estate agents, builders furniture store owners Etc don't care. I would rather have foreigners buy hoses then see whats going on in the US were some people's home values have dropped by 50%.

[StylinRed]

me2 but i can understand the other side

i dont find either viewpoint wrong

[Spooling]

vancouver housing is cheaper compared to their home country

[Culture_Vulture]

[Kim Jong Un]

LOL nah he's just trying to start another racist thread.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

well fuck, i guess someone bought my river green penthouse already. FUCK. haha

[SkinnyPupp]

This is just one of those Revscene moments that makes you go :facepalm:

if you can afford MANSIONs, then go get one before all them mainlanders get it..

but if you can afford it, why complain about it.. it the chinese people dont buy it, others will and will you complain about those races? or just the fact that its mainlanders?

HK built Vancouver back in the 90's and made it the city it is today. That is all.

[Lomac]

I'm sick and tired of people who can't afford to buy a house complaining about people who can afford to by a house.

What about people who typically could afford to buy a house but can't because of rising prices? Many people work in Vancouver but can't afford houses nearby, but when they complain, they're told to go look for houses on the other side of the Fraser River. But then if they buy a house in Surrey or Langley and make a peep about how bad the traffic is going into Vancouver, or how we're now going to be tolled for the majority of the routes, they're then told "Then you should have moved into a Vancouver Shoebox Special" and be damned about actual livable space if you happen to have an actual family.

[eurochevy]

btw i just wanted to say that technically ..if they buy a house, its THEIRS...so as far as the topics thread title goes.... lol

What should a house in Vancouver cost? If house prices in Vancouver did go down wouldn't that just create more demand from all the people that work in Vancouver but live elsewhere, reducing the the amount of houses for sale and increasing prices?

[slammer111]

They need to increase urban density, like along the Canada Line route. That line can use WAY more condo towers.

The problem is with hippies who require X amount of green space per sqft of living space. Our ratio is way higher than other cities. Yes it creates green space but it also caps the height at which we can build, adding to the problem.

[Senna4ever]

I think it's Frank Sinatra's house he owns, unless he owns Liz Taylor's old house too?

[BlackZRoadster]

^ Jim Patterson?

I'm not talking about lowering housing prices; I'm talking about the hypocritical public that fails to see the plight that many people are in when they're looking for a place to live.

[Manic!]

He does own Franks house but thats in Palm Springs and I don't think any of F&F was shot there.



14372 MULHOLLAND DRIVE: The Fast and The Furious: the circular Hollywood house with the pool, where Paul's cop buddies have set up a temporary police HQ (and which they mention is "the house Eddie Fisher built for Elizabeth Taylor"), is probably atop the Hollywood Hills, between Bel-Air and Sherman Oaks.

[Kaolinite]

yeee asians

[LiquidTurbo]

What was the point of that news clip? They stated something that's been known since forever, lols.

[Tim Budong]

Its known forever, but for the average 25-35 whos looking to buy property is tough, even at the condo level.
