Quote from: Zetsu on October 15, 2023, 08:26:48 PMI don't like the idea of people hoarding all the homes too

...and yet that's what your people do.
Everwhere they go.

China or Chinese countries do that to their own people to the extent that even their leaders openly and publicly admit it:


And this is how many Chinese families in Hong Kong have to live, Zetsu:


I don't care much for Donald Trump but he was right about China and he exposed them for the fraud that they are.

Quote from: Zetsu on October 15, 2023, 08:26:48 PMbut at the same time no one is pointing a gun at you and saying you must live in Vancouver, if you want the best of the best, then expect to pay up like a man Joe.

A real 'man' is sensible, Zetsu.

He can smell a scam when he sees one.

Y'know the current Mayor of Vancouver Kenny Sim is a real shit Mayor. He's just in the back pockets of developers and offshore money. Bugger sees an open street as an opportunity to tear them down or block them off to build more apartments on them. That's what's happening in Vancouver right now. It's just one big construction zone for the rich.  It's awful. It's a mess here.

You know I don't wanna be prejudiced but I'm starting to think that all Chinese are greedy money whores and they don't care about people or humanity. Just like Vancouver's mayor.

Zetsu

Well yea, I'm not denying the Chinese are greedy and obsessed with money, but like I've said you might think is a scam but whining isn't going to help honestly, be a man and suck it up like what everyone else is doing here.

Believe it or not even in relatively high cost states like Virginia you can buy a house and pay around $1100 per month in total expenses.

She bought a historic home which was in need of major repairs.  She bought the house and land for just $18,000, spent $100,000 fixing it up, and now has a nice historic home which has been updated and modernized and she owes slightly less than $100,000 total.  The house is now worth many times that amount.

What's less costly and more economical?

.....To buy a raw piece of land or a fixer upper like the one you've cited?

Seems fixing up an old house is more expensive than building an inexpensive one from scratch?

Or is that a misconception?

what's yer take, Oerdin?

The worst place to live is anywhere that makes you a disarmed cuck, josephine. A shitty fixer upper where you can have 10 AR-15's is way better than some new hell hole where you have to register your BB gun and only the cops have ACTUAL firearms! You'll learn someday, josephine!

I guess it depends on how far out you really are and what the regulations in that area are.

The link to that W Va house...it was probably one of those old well-made homes.



do you think ya'd find a home that well-made anymore?

Years ago I helped renovate this old home made in the 19th century.

We took out all the interior walls and what was interesting was there was no mould nor leaking - and this was in Vancouver where it rains a lot like Seattle. The insulation was old papaer.

But now they can't even make a house that'll last 20 years
And if it does they fall apart and need thousand$ in repairs.

Hers is not outside the realm of possibility but she also appears to have gotten lucky.

Really?

Then what are all those 20 year old homes on the market that look as good as brand new?

Or are you suggesting that building practices have changed in the last 20 years?

Vancouver has had oingoing problems with leaky condos since the 1980s when building codes laxed, the old tradesmen died or retired. problems we never saw in abundance prior to that Prowler. And they still persist. eg:



...but you don't know that since you don't live here, fool

Christ why don't getta job at 7/11 and do something constructive with your time, Prowler?

You were talking about houses, not condos.

And who would want to?!?!!?!

You complain about it constantly.

You miserable cunt.

Hahahahaha!!!!

If I wanted to work, I would work for myself.

I do not answer to a boss, Joe.  I have not done that in over 20 years.

Old fucks like you should have planned your life better so you could be out of the workforce by now to open up a position for a younger person.

I got money in the bank.

So what? Unlike you I don't use money or car as weapon to bludgeon people. You need that car to vent anger and blow off steam, not merely drive around like normal people do.

But the worst apsect about your personality is that you're an habitual liar.

I can see from the example you set that money can't buy honesty or an agreeable personality. When you're old, you'll regret the person you've been all your life.

Agreed, if Joe was a responsible when he was young, he would not need to be working now. But, he has Thiel now that all else has failed.

...How do you know I don't have any money?

Actaully I was looking for a retirement planner.

Guess you talked yourself out of a job.

Oh well you know the saying...money talks...and money walks.

Joe feels that I have been "bludgeoning" him with my car.

Poor old Senile Joe.
