211 dupes imperial water for my tidus osb , not too bad . <| sep |> i feel like that without it endnotes makes me feel like i ' m not alone . unity in separation , i guess <| sep |>. Do you know who else was born in December though ? s Kotomine Kirei , on December 28 th <| sep |> Sitting around the Thanksgiving table today with so many of my liberal family members was glorious . In fact I was quite impressed with their outrage . The Democrats haven ' t been this pissed off since they were forced to give up their slaves after the civil war . <| sep |> i dont mind it at all lol <| sep |> How do your super nazi ' s beat modern armor ? <| sep |> Here it in in a nutshell The BC Government thought they could reap the revenue of a short term windfall in a heated housing market . A great opportunity in a country that is having financial trouble with a weak dollar , oil woes and other related issues . Problem is that they left real estate unleashed too long and now we ' re in the situation we are in Housing is unaffordable for the middle class worker . The issue now is to try to level off the market . They don ' t want and we shoudln ' t want a fullon correction . The workforce has shifted to adapt and people have changed careers to keep up . I know plenty of highly competent tech workers that that left their careers to go to real estate Flip houses , inspectors , brokers , agents etc . Highly skilled workers careers have changed and now Real Estate is a bigger portion of GDP than it probably should be . A correction would put a lot of people out of work which politically and otherwise , is a bad move . On the other hand , midhigh earning workers are now priced completely out of the market , and are not able to save at a pace which matches real estate appreciation . My mother made more money per day sitting on her porch drinking tea than I did working 60 hours week in a decent paying STEM job . So where does that leave us ? Middle class workers are leaving the city . Many of my friends have left or are leaving to the USA or Europe . A close friend of mine that is a family doctor has retired at 41 after his parents passed away , Sold their house and retired to Kelowna . And as anyone that is looking for a family doctor knows , we need every GP we can keep . Anecdotally my wife is getting some USA qualified certifications in her field so we can transfer , and I ' m in touch with a USbased union to see what my hurdles are to go stateside as well . My Brother moved to Chlliwack because he cant afford to stay in the city yet my mom love her dearly is a late babyboomer living on her own in a mostly empty 4 bedroom house in North Vancouver . Gregor Robertson and Christy Clark own this . Many Provincial and Federal MP ' s denied this a year ago . They are unsurprisingly silent now . Sadly , the only fair fix is time . Through policy we need to keep home prices stable until wages catch up , but that ' s about all we can do . At the risk of sounding like a Trump supporter , we may need to rethink how freely we sell realestate to nonresidents . The 15 % tax is a good start , but imo was too little too late and was a more than obvious ploy to try and save political face . Gregor stopped with the whole ' But your racist ! ' angle thankfully . Both ' political sides ' have a part in this , it bridges the political spectrum . I personally think the recent transit upgrade announcement is an attempt to appease us citizens . A Sorry you cant afford to live here , but we ' re trying to make the commute downtown from Poco less painful ! thing . I ' m not affiliated or locked in to any party , but my number one item when I ' m voting next year will be who do I think can get us through this the best , assuming I ' m still living here .
