  1. Rathbone seems like a great kid. Staying with his family to help support his autistic eight year old brother. I think this guy will be something great down the line.
  2. I'm not quite sure, but, I think Benning may be an idiot.
  3. Gaglardi looks like a slob. Put down the canoles and button up that blazer.
  4. The skinny beanpole in the Boston Lucic jersey was an oxymoron.
  5. Shero needs bodies in all different positions? Hello!
  6. Yep. Having a family was the best thing that ever happened to me.
  7. And it has, tenfold. If opportunity knocks, one has to answer. To not do so is insane. As the Joker said "If you're good at something, never do it for free." I've noticed that some folks out there want to vilify the real estate agents, and find some way to level blame on them for this crisis. That line of thinking couldn't be further from reality. The agent only responds to the market (I know I'm preaching to the preacher, but I need to say this), and don't actually set any rules or codes of practice. You put in the work to get your licence to practice and the hard work to get to where you are, you deserve to flourish. The blame needs to be leveled primarily at all three levels of government for being complicit with the laundering and underhanded business, and at foreign investors who have skirted this country's, province's, and city's unbelievably weak and pathetic laws. Totally. That's really it, isn't it? Vancouver has become such a superficial husk of it's former self, it's tragic. It has become nothing more than a tourist stop dressed up as a city. Whored out by mayors, premiers, and ministers to the wealthiest johns, meanwhile the people who invested their lives and taxes into the city, and all cities in the Lower Mainland and BC for that matter, are forgotten in the mix. I'd like to think that some form of justice will be meted out against this vermin, but this is Canada, where cannibals who cut peoples heads off on Greyhound buses go free, so I'm not holding my breath. Once again Harvey, thank you for the facts and the honesty. These days, they're hard to come by.
  8. Thank you for telling it like it is, and being honest. I guess that's bound to happen when the city essentially sold it's core to the highest bidder. Unreal Which I assume would also be accompanied by a larger down payment required to purchase. Ugly, but expected. Once again, thank you for the real goods when it comes to the overall picture. It's refreshing to hear your take as you have insight that many don't, and offering it to everyone as you do, is invaluable.
  9. While we may not agree on everything, Harvey, your posts on this thread are refreshing in that you don't ever attempt to sugarcoat the truth, rather choosing to realistically present the dire picture that this province is in. It is appreciated. Just curious though, what would the main fallout be from an end to the unsustainable rise in housing prices look like, outside of quite a few "stretched beyond their means" buyers losing everything?
