...reason why I support a Land Hoarding Tax, Prowler.
I don't mind if people have a large first home even a mansion and nice vacation home.
But it's when they own 5,6,10 or 20 of them that it contributes to a land housing shortage in our city. That's not even free market capitalism. It's akin to one guy buying up all the fancy graphics cards in a sale from Best Buy, leaving nothing for the other customers. That's why stores like that have signs that say 'Limit 2 per customer'. Because they wanna make sure there is an available supply for their loyal customers and a 'free market'. So that's what should be done to real estate in Vancouver. Limit the hoarding. Punish the hoarders so they'll subsidize everybody else instead of single home owners subsidizing them.
This is why I hate fucking China where Zetsu is from.
Because they're like a bunch of locusts who hoard the land and push up rents like that. Then they push vulnerable people like that woman onto the street.
I also hate the fucking Mayor of Vancouver Kenny Sim too and his ABC party too.
he thinks our public streets are valuable real estate to block off and tear up. We're actually losing streets and ramps to real estate hucksters who just wanna make a quick buck at our expense. Our road system is a fuckin joke. They wanna double the populaiton density while cutting/hacking our public road system in half.
That's why sensible nations are right to keep fucking China out so they don't displace the local popuation.

What I think should be done is anyone buying more than 1 home should be taxed progressively so with each home added, they pay more tax. So if they buy 10 homes, then 10th home will be taxed muc higher than the 1st or 2nd.
And people who use shill buyers will be fined accordingly as well.

There's a real problem here with real estate investors buying up houses and turning them into rentals. They deplete the available supply at the same time they raise rents. I'd love to see a law saying "You can't buy a house unless it's going to be your primary residence". Maybe then I wouldn't be seeing all these people living in motor homes and tents on the side of the road. An absolute disgrace is what it is.
A house is supposed to be a home, not an ATM machine for some investment group.

I have no intention of buying a bottom of the barrel $400K condo in Vancouver. That's precisely the trap the developers and the ruling elites want us all to buy into, Prowler. 99 and 50 year leases with tenuous ownership clauses. Looked into it, I can buy land with permanent title for 1/2 that price or less outside the city. Same climate, same environment but even better since they still have open space as opposed to a crowded and congested city. No crime either.
Another thing the City/Province did was to lower the threshold to unload and bulldoze perfectly viable housing developments. At one time the approval 100% of strata owners to sell and vacate a development if someone wanted to go in and bulldoze it, build something else in it. Now it's 80%. The rules were 'relaxed' for the benefit of developers at the expense of the homeowner. So of course, now these poor seniors who bought into them in the 1970s thinking they had something permanent in their elderly years are Shit Out of Luck now, because their fellow strata owners decided to sell the place even they voted to stay. And when they try to go back and buy in, now they need a million or so to get back what they had. Of course, they're only offered $200,000 or so for the homes they once thought permanent. In all probability they'll just keep lowering the requirements till its 60% and 50%?
The politicians here are very greedy, power hungry and have sold the most vulnerable out to the highest bidder.
All those shitbox condos are, is the gift that keeps on giving to the developers and the politicians. I recently met someone who must have paid upwards of $1 million for hers and now I heard she heard she lost her job.
BTW, I can always sell my collectibles and gold and get 100% or more for it.
But your camaros won't sell for more than 20 cents to the dollar.
Far fewer people will want your gas guzzling monsters esp when fuel reaches $20 a gallon, Prowler. Personally, if I were going that route, I'd buy a vintage show car such as 1957 Corvette to rent out to the movie studios and advertisers for photo shoots.
You think I'm 'money obsessed' to have that mindset, but that's exactly how the largest limousine company in my city thinks. Star Limousine - go look them up. I've been there. They have 100 cars on their lot. When they spend $200,000 on a brand new Mercedes, they wanna see revenue out of it. So if they can't pull in as much as they paid for it, it's a money losing proposition for them and they get rid of them if they can't turn a profit. If those things don't make money, the limo companies get edgy and begin to lay off staff and unload expensive unnecessary cars in their lot.
In my books, a person should make money from high priced assets. At least as much as they paid for them or be able to sell/unload easily in the future. Otherwise, they just become an expensive paperweight.

I find idiots buy expensive cars which go down in value. You can't put earn stupid behavior which is why there are so many people making $300,000 per year but living pay check to pay check. Smart people live below their means so they can save and I very the difference. BTW 400,000 isn't a small hick town.

Quote from: Oerdin on November 03, 2023, 02:57:37 PMI find idiots buy expensive cars which go down in value.
Consider this....
A few years ago, I was in the market for a sports car.
I like new cars, not used cars because I value being the first driver of the car, and I value the brand new car experience from breaking in the engine to the pristine interior.
I have always liked Corvettes, and the new Corvette looked good and was getting stellar reviews.
So I wanted a new Corvette. So I got on several waiting lists and when my name came up, I bought the car I wanted.
I paid cash. I did not take out a loan. I did not sacrifice any other want or desire in life in order to buy my Corvette.
I consider my Corvette to be a means to something I enjoy very much (driving a sports car). I consider the price to be fair for the amount of pleasure I get out of it.
I am sure that at some point the value of the car will go down and that is fine with me. I think the pleasure than I gain is worth the price.
I expect it to be like my 2002 Camaro Z28. I got 21 years of pleasure driving from it and I do not feel it owes me a dime.
Do you think buying my 2002 Camaro Z28 in 2002 was a mistake? Do you think buying my 2023 Corvette in 2022 was a mistake?

Actually Zetsu, I'm planning to get out of Vancouver in the near future.
The more I think about it, it's the only way to avoid becoming like those poor people on the street or live in their cars. The developers in Vancouver and the politicians they bribe simply don't care about the common folk they displace.
Y'know, I spoke with a very well-known wealthy local radio broadcaster when I drove limo. He said exactly the same thing to me. He bought a house, cuz he doesn't trust Condos and the fragility of that form of home ownership.
I figger the only reason a person would ever buy a condo is to rent it out hopefully at an exhorbitant monthly rate and make their money bock on those shit boxes as fast as they can. then sell the damn thing hopefully for a profit.
But as far as providing secure home ownership, never go there, eh.

Yea I get your point Joe, but if you want affordability ya gotta give up some of the convenience and luxury and move to the countryside.
Having a dad and seeing him buying properly no difference from groceries, all I can say is it's extremely heavily monitored and driven by supply and demand, simply to say you get what you pay for in 99.9% of the cases, but if you have no kids you have the advantage of not having to look for a quality school in the area, which will save you a few hundred grands already from the Asian competition.

Yeah, I got friends who've got kids, and they're essentially grounded fer life primarily cuz they started families too late.
OK if ya like that kinda lifestyle, but unless a person is in it for the long haul, it's a tough grind.

And your health too. Cripes I know a guy who's 75 and he still has 15 year old son to support and I know he hates it. He's a single Dad and divorced from that woman who bore his son. And at 75 he's still doing menial jobs for not that great a pay. But he can't stop so he'll probably have to support his son til he goes to the grave.

A bit off topic but this is why I'll never vote for Liberals, they want more people to have kids but there's not enough, so they import immigrants, immigrants drive up housing prices and demand, increase in housing prices drives up living cost, increase living cost no one wants or could afford to raise kids, sprinkle some sky high taxes, etc etc, and the cycle continues. :Doh2:

too much infrastructure to lay down?
I was thinking of a plot of land where I could do what Dove did, and put a trailer on it. something portable.
But I don't know if this is viable.
this guy talks about the pitfalls of actually owning raw land:

Still, when a piece of land can be bought for as low as $30,000 USD as opposed to a condo $300,000 and up, I don't know how viable it is to purchase a condo either.
My uncle has a condo, and he's draining his equity all the time by taking out reverse mortgages. the condo association asks him for $10,000 for this $20,000 for that. Reverse mortgageis the only way he can afford to remain there. so he gets nickel and dimed ta death. I suppose at the end of his life, eh will have no equity left from that condo.
seeing what he's gone through, I'd rather avoid his fate.
Joe is not capable of buying land and turning it into a place to live other than in a tent.
