When Selling Isn’t Really An Option
A report from the Montreal Gazette in Canada. “It seems like a person can’t throw a rock in downtown Montreal without hitting a new condo project promising state-of-the-art facilities, a rooftop pool, breathtaking views and a communal lounge. It begs the question: Are there too many condos in Montreal? Anecdotally, the answer is yes. ‘There are definitely too many condos,” says Doug Hollingworth, a homeowner who recently swapped his Mile End condo for a semi-detached in N.D.G. ‘I know more people who are leaving (Montreal) than moving here.’”
The Edmonton Journal. “Renters continue to have the upper hand on landlords in Edmonton. Data compiled by an Alberta property management firm, Hope Street Real Estate, shows that the number of rental homes currently on the market has risen to 5,211, up from 3,820 at this time last year. Company president Shamon Kureshi said this is great news for renters with more options and lower rents, but bad news for landlords. And Kureshi doesn’t see that improving any time soon.”
“‘We did this report mainly just to have something on paper to show our clients when they called to say ‘What the hell is going on here?’ Kureshi said. ‘It’s probably a little alarming for many landlords. There are a lot of factors at play, but the cost of a barrel of oil is the main one,’ he said. ‘There are also a lot of condo developers who can’t sell their units and who are now putting them into the rental pool, creating a tidal wave of inventory. Two years ago that could have been a profitable venture for them, but what we have concluded is that selling isn’t really an option.’”
The Calgary Herald. “Rapid construction of new apartments at a time of high unemployment in Calgary has left a raft of rental housing empty, spiking the apartment vacancy rate to levels not seen in a generation, a new report says. More than 2,500 apartment units were empty in October, up by more than a third over last year’s volumes, pushing the vacancy rate to seven per cent, according to the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. It’s now the highest it has been in 25 years, the national housing agency said in its annual rental market report.”
“Calgary was home to 36,500 apartments last month, up by 1,300 units or nearly four per cent over year-ago levels. It was the biggest annual gain in 22 years and the third straight year of expansion in the rental market. ‘The vacancy rate has moved well above historical averages largely due to a rise in supply,’ Richard Cho, analyst with the housing agency, said in a statement. ‘Job losses have spread beyond the energy sector and into other areas of the economy.’”
The Saskatoon Star Phoenix. “Saskatoon’s apartment vacancy rate climbed from 6.5 per cent to 10.3 per cent over the last 12 months, while the average rental rate for an apartment in the city remained steady at about $1,000, the CMHC reported Monday. About 1,391 of the 13,507 apartments in Saskatoon were sitting empty last month. That represents an increase of 522 vacant units from the 869 that were sitting empty in October 2015. ‘Weak economic and labour market conditions have held back rental demand, while increasing supply in both the primary and secondary rental markets has resulted in a significant jump in apartment vacancies this year,’ CMCH analyst Goodson Mwale said.”
The Moose Jaw Times Herald. “On Monday, the CMHC released data about vacancy rates for apartments within Moose Jaw and around the province. It showed that the vacancy rate for Moose Jaw for Oct. 2016 was 3.3 per cent, down from 3.4 per cent in Oct. 2015. The provincial average was 9.4 per cent. Weyburn, Lloydminster, and Estevan all had vacancy rates above 20 per cent, ranging from 20.2 per cent to 27.6 per cent for Estevan.”
The Dawson Creek Mirror. “Apartment vacancy rates in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John are once again the highest in British Columbia according to new data from Canada’s housing agency, but local real estate professionals are divided on whether the numbers accurately reflect the market. Dawson Creek recorded an overall rental vacancy rate of 19.1 per cent in October, 4.5 points higher than the same time last year. Fort St. John, meanwhile, saw its vacancy rates surge from 12.1 per cent to 30.7 per cent. At 34.8 per cent, the town’s vacancy rate for one-bedroom apartments was the highest single rate in the province.”
“Lita Powell of Fort St. John’s Li-car Management Group said the numbers were ‘bang on.’ In fact, the CMHC might be underestimating Fort St. John’s vacancy rates, she said. ‘The real vacancy in Fort St. John is much closer to 35 per cent,’ she said. ‘The CMHC vacancy rate misses a substantial number of units,’ including any buildings smaller than eight units. ‘When you consider the number of duplex units built in the past four years in Fort St. John, I suspect they make up a substantial number of the vacancies,’ she said.”
From CBC News. “One of Nelson Sturge’s tenants recently came into his office to drop off their keys. But there was still six months left on the commercial lease. ‘One of the comments by them was, ‘We can’t even make payroll,’ Sturge said. CBC News spoke with Sturge and other Fort McMurray commercial landlords who have all said they’ve reduced their asking prices by about half.”
“Some of Sturge’s properties sit on one of Fort McMurray’s industrial parks. It’s not hard to spot ‘For sale’ signs hanging along its streets. Property owners like him, who bought or built warehouses and storage buildings during the height of Fort McMurray’s boom, are now stuck paying high mortgages and collecting low rents. ‘It puts us in a bit of a bind right now, especially with the market that’s out there,’ Sturge said. ‘It’s a tenant’s market right now.’”
If you ever wondered what a recession looks like, this is it.
How do you say fiction peddler in Canada?
“If you ever wondered what a recession looks like, this is it.”
I was gonna say something similar in response to this scenario:
“One of Nelson Sturge’s tenants recently came into his office to drop off their keys. But there was still six months left on the commercial lease. ‘One of the comments by them was, ‘We can’t even make payroll,’ Sturge said.

It’s not a tenant’s market, doosh. It’s a depression. How d’ya like that?
I wish the best for them. It’s gonna be hard.

I hope you aren’t equating my noting the resemblance of some of Trump’s statements to things Hitler said to a “Hitler declaration.” What does that even mean?
Deporting illegals = Hitler
Building a Wall = Hitler
Having men pee in the men’s room = Hitler
Opposing Gun Control = Hitler

Etc.

“I hope you aren’t equating my noting the resemblance of some of Trump’s statements to things Hitler said to a “Hitler declaration.” What does that even mean?”
Still at it, eh? While I cannot speak for anyone else here, everything you say is always held immediately suspect by this poster.
Past lies have that effect. So do past efforts to malign and to cover up and deflect the lies.
I sometimes wonder how you treat others in *real life*. I wonder how long you’ve gotten away with it. By all indications, quite a long time.

I was catching up on some old Podcasts recently, and there was an inordinate number of people interviewed that basically said:
“Based on what we’ve seen during our lifetimes, we didn’t trust HRC to help us at all, so we decided to give this Trump guy a chance, even though he sounds kind of cuckoo.”
I don’t think people were stupid, or not believing in facts. I think they thought the system needed to be shaken up in a big way, and they thought Trump was the person to do so.
You guys are funny. Where did you think you posted all that stuff? What would you guess the word count would be for PB posts here over the past year that include the word “Hitler”?
Rental watch, I posted a link below to some raw vote totals. What you are saying mostly happened, especially in Pennsylvania. Many of those voters crossed the fence from Clinton’s lawn to Trump’s lawn. But there were many others who went to the fence and stayed on it. They either voted third party, wrote someone in, or didn’t vote at all. This appears to be what happened in Wisconsin and Ohio. That’s really where Clinton lost.
I Joshua Tree’d him long ago. I only open his posts if I see replies that make me wonder what he said. Keeps my blood pressure down.
Oxide,
I’ve heard a lot of people say that HRC lost because her voters voted third party.
However, I personally know a number of people who are more than right leaning (generally vote R), but couldn’t stomach voting for Trump, so they went third party.
Said another way, I don’t think HRC lost because her supporters went third party, because I think those votes were cancelled out by those on the right who went third party.
HRC lost because the people who the Democrats usually championed (blue collar America) didn’t believe a private-jet-flying, Goldman-Sachs-speech-giving elite had their best interests at heart. Too many either voted for Trump, or just stayed home.
And while Trump flies in private jets, he didn’t change is outfit or accent to pander to rural America. He was the same brash Trump wherever he went, or to whomever he was speaking. His supporters turned out.
Well said. Crooked Hillary oozed insincerity, arrogance, and entitlement. She let the mask slip too many times to reveal the sociopath beneath. And that screeching voice was cringeworthy.
Are they still in the denial stage of the recession?

I understand it’s convenient to buy paper products in bulk off Amazon. I can appreciate that. But if you knew that your purchase was funding your demise and that of your children, if you have any, would you be tempted to find somewhere else to get those paper products?
I’m not saying it is, but here’s an interesting bit from the story:
“The online retailer has taken steps to soften its image as a difficult employer since a New York Times story last year portrayed the company as a bruising workplace where employees were encouraged to take advantage of one another to get ahead.”
Why put money in the pocket of a sick phuck if you can avoid it?
Costco treats their employees WAY better. I won’t buy anything in bulk from Amazon unless I’ve exhausted all other possibilities.
All private companies are bruising workplaces where employees are encouraged to take advantage of one another to get ahead. At least that’s one good thing about the government job-for-life. You can praise others and give credit to others without taking it out of your own future career.
can we all work for gov?
Cubans made it to about 60% ?
“All private companies are bruising workplaces where employees are encouraged to take advantage of one another to get ahead.”
And you know this how? By having worked at “all private companies”?
Well, I’ve only worked at a handful of private companies over my lifetime. Some encouraged taking advantage of co-workers, some didn’t. I much preferred the ones that didn’t.
I got even with one of the companies that did. They found out it’s difficult to keep on two parasite employees when the host moves on. The manager found it was difficult to collect a bonus on the efforts of non-productive employees.
All private companies are bruising workplaces where employees are encouraged to take advantage of one another to get ahead.
False.
You can praise others and give credit to others without taking it out of your own future career.
I work at a place where praising others and sharing credit is not only allowed, but supported and encouraged.
Donk….. Have yourself a CraterTater Christmas.

Comic relief has arrived
“But if you knew that your purchase was funding your demise and that of your children”
Wow, I never thought of it that way. Now that I look at these paper plates I bought, all I can see are my dead children.
spider, please don’t misunderstand me on this. I mean, every time we buy clothing Made in China, we’re contributing to the agony of the people in those factories. I’ve got a bunch of stuff made elsewhere. I rationalize it in that I purchase most of my stuff (other than food and sundries) second hand.
As I mentioned, some of the bulk paper product bundles on
Amazon come about as a result of some enterprising person going to the Dollar Store and snapping up toilet paper, paper plates, napkins, etc and bundling them and re-selling. Believe it or not, you can find YouTube videos with people explaining how to do this.
I get ya. But that’s not Amazon-specific. Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, Dollar Store — it’s all the same crap from China.
You know those “Made In America” labels you see on some things like major appliances — to make you feel good about buying American. A while back they were saying how that label is a total scam — 99.9% of the appliance is made and assembled in China or some foreign country, then the American import company screws ONE last screw — and therefore it becomes “manufactured” in America and qualifies for the “Made In America” label. So you can’t even believe that.
“I get ya. But that’s not Amazon-specific. Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, Dollar Store — it’s all the same crap from China.”
I just didn’t want you to feel I might fall off a tall horse any minute. I’m well aware of my own part in this clusterfark. It’s not just Amazon by any means, it’s just as you say above.
I liked Amazon well enough when it started out with books and media like CDs and DVDs. It just went all weird and creepy in its expansion. My former buddy fell for all the make-a-million on Amazon hoopla and couldn’t even get to first base with a Chinese supplier to do a private labeling venture, last I heard.
btw, I thought it was funny — going from paper plates to the demise of our children. “That escalated quickly”.
I do my best to support my local businesses when I can. One small example is honey. Buy locally made honey whenever you can, or if there is none, you can buy it directly from beekeepers around the country. The stuff in your regular grocery store shelves comes from China and it’s not real honey, and sometimes it is full of contaminants. I visited my local beekeeper once and she worked with the Secret Service, providing samples of real honey from bees so they had a chemical reference point, for when the SS would investigate fake honey from China — they could compare samples to her known-good honey.
Plus locally made honey is 100x better. I try to avoid any/all food items from China.
Anyway, sorry to go off on a honey tangent.. us spider monkeys LOVE honey!
I don’t know where you are, but there is a resurgence of local food. If you stay away and go to year-round farmers markets and you-pick farms, you can easily eat 80% local year-round, including (grassfed) meat. Some markets even have local milk. As for honey, many of the you-pick farms keep their own beehives for pollination and hire a beekeeper to harvest the honey to sell in the farm store.
Oops.
I meant to say “if you stay away from carbohydrates.” In all my years at farmers markets, I haven’t seen any locally-produced corn or wheat or rice flours. But I have seen almost everything else that grows in my climate.
I had a honey from China once. Nothing fake about her.
I mean, every time we buy clothing Made in China, we’re contributing to the agony of the people in those factories.
actually, that factory work is their best option. without it, their lives would be worse. instead of contributing to their agony, you’re contributing to their wellbeing. granted, they’ll still have a poor standard of living.
contributing to the agony of the people in those factories.
So, we should save those people by shutting down those factories and moving them back to the US where they will be more highly automated, or pay much higher wages to American workers?
Don’t believe everything you read. There are plenty of those workers that are thrilled to work those jobs, because the alternative is much, much worse.
Testify, Brother Ron. Can I get a “Hallelujah!” in the house?!!
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-28/ron-paul-tells-trump-really-make-america-great-again-end-fed
While I agree with ending the fed, I’m totally disgusted at his sniping at Trump from the sidelines and his alliance with the Never Trump movement. STFU, step aside and let someone else carry the message.
I didn’t appreciate Rand carping at Trump when The Donald was already dealing with the pack of jackals in the media and Republicrat establishment. But now that the election is over, it’s time for the anti-Statist candidates to close ranks and deal with the common enemy: the corrupt and venal oligarchy that has had things all its own way for far too long.
Gah! Forgot to post this image that I got off reddit. Who do you think he could be meeting with?
https://i.sli.mg/JKgUr2.png
Trump and Rand during the debates. He did insult Rand, just a little bit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMSN7X16pck
Just to add to the above, it is true that Trump insulted Ron Paul, damning him with faint praise saying something about “You’re a good guy, but you’re unelectable”. That was in 2012, and I was pretty pissed off about it at the time. And Trump further went on to insult Rand during the Republican debates. So I do understand why Trump wasn’t exactly Ron’s favorite person. But the NeverTrump thing was a bridge too far for me.
As to Trump ending the Fed, I got this off reddit, but have no idea who the ex-bank CEO is who wants to end the Fed, that Trump is supposedly meeting with.
Ramp up the printing presses for yet another bailout, Draghi….

And they unleashed on everyone else too. The howling and gnashing of teeth is as loud today as it was two weeks ago.

I’m looking around at these people thinking, ‘the establishment doesn’t get it, it’s not that she’s a woman…Hillary screams I’m your standard politician you’ve seen all your life.

I wonder how many of these woman-power feminist women voted for Sarah Palin because she is a woman.
That guy at 4:14 is the same guy on the “Best of Young Turks” video you posted above. Looks like he was all worried in Ohio but snapped right back to smug once he got back to the Safe Space of his studio. But he did correctly point out that not only were Ohioans enthusiastic for Trump, but they were totally lukewarm for Clinton.
He was right too. In Ohio, Trump gained 4% compared to 2012, while Clinton lost 18% compared to 2012. 18%!! That’ll lose you an election bigly. More stats:

First guy up: “This country just became less safe for (non-whites, latinos, whatever)”
Less safe compared to what? Who is doing anything to these people? We live in a place and a time where the worst run around acting like they own the place and the rest of us are only allowed the pleasure and the privilege of continuing to support them as long as we don’t say “boo” to any of their nonsense.
The massive credit expansion of the past few decades has allowed the USA to raise a bunch of spoiled brats. There will be more tears.
Their disconnect from reality is their biggest problem. Citing Jay-Z’s support of a loser like hiliary as a reason she should have won indicates that your world view is pretty much whatever TMZ is broadcasting. Vapid fools are definitely in for more pain.
Congress or Trump aren’t doing anything to non-whites (if they are legal). However, there is an element of Trump supporters which are still traditionally haters/racists. They may use the Trump victory as cover to carry out some hate crimes. We have seen very little of that so far.

“Era of politeness”? Are the really that deluded? I guess they consider calling a large portion of the electorate “Deplorable” as being polite. Sheesh, even clueless Romney knew that was best done behind closed doors.

A Taste of Baboon and Monkey Meat, and Maybe of Prison, Too
By ELLEN BARRY
NOV. 17, 2007
It takes strategic thinking to find monkey meat in New York. Best to avoid the word “monkey,” for one thing — start with something innocuous-sounding, like “dry meat,” or common, like “grass cutter,” a rodent similar to the guinea pig. Seek out the proprietors of tiny West African restaurants, or the “bushmeat market queens” who do business out of their homes.
That is, if you can find them. And if they trust you enough to sell it to you.
The market in the United States for bushmeat — that is, the meat of African wild game — is obscured to outsiders and virtually impossible to measure. But most everyone agrees it has grown exponentially in recent decades along with immigration from West Africa, thriving in destination cities like Minneapolis and Atlanta.

OUCH! Megyn Kelly’s Book Reviews Are In…..and they are NOT Good

Wow. There has been a lot of hoopla over Megyn Kelly’s new book.

Instead, Donald Trump won and Megyn’s top 5 book reviews on Amazon are pretty much all bad.

What makes you think there is any truth to the story you posted? Doesn’t it seem like fake news?
“Doesn’t it seem like fake news?”
I think that’s one of the reasons the “fake news” label has been dispensed with such ferocity by the “legacy” media, especially WaPo, to keep a lid on this. Those police sketches came out in 2008, it’s not like they were deliberately mocked up recently to smear the Podesta bros. I have to admit, those pictures do bear an eerie resemblance to the bros. Even more eerie is that they “just happened” to be in the vicinity at the time.
OTOH, the legacy media is beginning to catch on.

Lefty college kids played an important role in the Civil Rights movement 50 years ago. Quite a few of them gave their lives in the struggle against segregation.
I’d say that it was the black folks who bore the brunt of that struggle. I also seem to recall that a lot of those college kids high tailed it off to Canada when they were drafted. Sure, there were a handful who were heroic. But in this age of trigglypuffs and wimpy SJWs I would expect them to scatter like cockroaches should push come to shove.
Mark Lippert, current ambassador to South Korea, was the guy who advised Obama to oppose the going into Iraq. After we went in anyway, Lippert entered the Navy as an intelligence officer, working with Navy SEALs in Iraq for about a year.
As he says it, he was never really in danger, but wanted to serve his country none-the-less–in a war that he opposed.
I wouldn’t call him a hero (although some might), but what he did definitely showed character.
I’d say that it was the black folks who bore the brunt of that struggle. I also seem to recall that a lot of those college kids high tailed it off to Canada when they were drafted.
Yes, that’s true. But many of those black people were liberal college students. There also many white kids who went south to work in the movement. The famous case of Schwerner, Chaney and Goodman involved two white kids and a black kid who were killed as a result of their efforts to end segregation.
It’s possible that some of those same students fled to Canada, but the overlap was probably pretty small. If you looked into it further, you’d probably fin that the number of young men who managed to find ways to avoid service, such as Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, was probably much greater than the number who left the country.
They will stamp their little feet, wave their little fists in the air, and wail out their anguish for the world to see on YouTube. Then retreat back to Mommy and Daddy’s basement.
The OSU campus is probably huge. It’s quite possible that the classroom in question was half a mile from the incident. There’s also no mention of anyone wiling in terror.

Democrats Clinch A Supermajority In Both Houses of The California Legislature.
LA Times | November 28, 2016
NOV. 28, 2016. Democrats Clinch A Supermajority In Both Houses of The California Legislature After Josh Newman Wins State Senate Seat
Democrat Josh Newman has defeated Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang (R-Diamond Bar) to win the race for the 29th Senate District, giving Democrats in the Legislature a two-thirds majority in both houses.
The Associated Press called the race Monday evening for Newman, who had been steadily gaining ground as provisional and absentee ballots were counted over the last three weeks.
Democrats had already secured a supermajority in the state Assembly with the defeat of Republican legislators Young Kim (R-Fullerton), Eric Linder (R-Corona) and David Hadley (R-Manhattan Beach).
With a supermajority, a political party can raise taxes, place measures on the statewide ballot, enact laws immediately with an “urgency” clause and override a governor’s veto.
Where do I donate money for Calexit??
Is the push still on to secede? I haven’t heard much recently.
Importantly, will my donations be tax deductible?
But they’ll always have their sunshine (along with the traffic, crime, insane taxes and cost of living, bad air and water quality, etc.) Sunshine!

Much like celebrity promises to move to Canada, it’s little more than posturing.

Trump’s Misguided Flirtation with Keynesianism

In 1971, Richard Nixon declared himself a Keynesian, stunning the Democrats across the aisle. Forty-five years later, is our new president-elect trying to send the same message?

Wannabe buyers are back to the “gotta buy before rates go up” mindset which we have seen countless times in recent years as rates seemed about to go up, but didn’t.
The only path forward is falling housing prices to dramatically lower and more affordable levels.
Enjoy your passive run with the bulls while it lasts.

Roberts says we’re seeing the final evolution of the “bull market psychology” as investors give in to the “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” mentality. Hence, the spike in “passive investing” interest.
But “there is no such thing as passive investing,” he contends. “While you may be invested in an ‘index,’ when the next bear market correction begins, and the pain of loss becomes large enough, ‘passive indexing’ will turn into ‘active panic.’”
Those planning to hold through the turbulence “will eventually be broken,” according to Roberts. “It is just a function of how much loss it takes to get there.”
There’s a case to be made, of course, that this time is different, considering the impact of central-bank interventions, but “there is plenty of historic evidence that suggests such attempts to manipulate markets are only temporary in nature,” he added.
“Most individuals extrapolate past performance indefinitely into the future and become extremely complacent in managing for risk,” Roberts explained, pointing to the illustration below. “This tendency is what leads investors to buy high and sell low.”

Anecdote, tech & VC related: guy I play with in a sports league just told me the other night that his startup is about to burn through the last of their cash. They have enough for the next payroll, but nothing after that. While the VC money was flowing fast and loose, I’m sure that they would have lined up another round by now.
Interesting times…
Suddenly, those “dinosaur” silicon valley stalwarts that actually make real products and hence make money won’t be mocked anymore.
I work in Silicon Valley, and this is happening more than is being let on in the media. I’m watching companies quietly conduct “shadow layoffs” in the sense that when people are leaving their roles the companies are not hiring replacements.
Reduction through attrition is nothing new. Also, cancelling any open reqs also counts as a shadow layoff. Of course, when things really are bad then there is no recourse other than to let people go.
VC funded startups are going to be a bad place to be in the near future.
So apparently Columbus, OH is a sanctuary city, and the muslim scumbag (getting to be redundant, I know) was attending OSU on the taxpayers dime.
How much are you paying for your kids education, because youre paying for scum like this as well with those insane tuition rates. Probably a 70 IQ, couldnt carry a bucket of water across a room without spilling half of it. But he does know his way around a butcher knife while you’re paying 30-50K a year for little suzie to study 17th century finger painting at the same or similar institution. Good luck with that. Go buckeyes!
And don’t forget that admission standards are lowered for these “acts of love”, while more deserving students are pushed aside and told that they are “privileged”. This has become a real issue at the University of California system where Asian American students with perfect credentials are being rejected (because they are “over represented”) in favor of protected class under achievers who will most likely not cut it and drop out.
That probably includes some white kids.
Yes, white kids were also excluded, but since they weren’t as over represented as the hard working Asian kids, they haven’t been discriminated as much. In other words, a white kid with a 4.0 and excellent SATs has a slightly better chance of being admitted than an Asian kids with the same test scores. But both need much better scores than an applicant from a protected class.
I meant that some white kids probably benefited from the limits put on the Asian-Americans.
But I thought there was some sort of referendum that banned racial quotas and that the Asian portion of the student bodies at UC campuses stored the next year.
“hard working Asian kids,”
Mighty was talking about those White Privilege kids
White Male Privilege vs Asian Privilege (Gavin McInnes)

I wasn’t speaking about white privilege. If Colorado is correct - “a white kid with a 4.0 and excellent SATs has a slightly better chance of being admitted than an Asian kids with the same test scores” - the issue is something harms Asian kids and benefits a number of non-Asian groups, including whites.
Also, that little YouTube thing packs a lot of nonsense and nastiness into a few minutes.
My Engineering school in the 70s had an affirmative action program. They lowered the bar for some minorities that had supposedly come from really crappy high schools. To help them catch up, honor students were recruited to mentor and tutor. I took two Puerto Rican students from the Ironbound District of Newark under my wing. They worked hard and didn’t hate anybody.
They worked hard and didn’t hate anybody.
That’s nice.

The first words out of his mouth are something like, “The dominant narrative in America is that white people are evil, white people suck.” This is false. I never hear anyone say anything like that.
Ohio State is $25K/year all included, for in-state students. Much more than I thought.
Report: SoCal to build more housing in ‘17
http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/real-estate/
“San Diego County homeowners saw some of the biggest home value increases in Southern California in the last year, while landlords benefited from some of the lowest rental vacancy rates in the region, said a detailed industry report released Sunday.
While high demand for housing propelled prices higher, industry leaders expect more construction of residential units in 2017 than this year, said the third quarter report from the nonprofit Real Estate Research Council of Southern California.”

How can Calgary have only 36,500 apartments (and 2500+ vacant apartments )in October? Calgary has a population of 1,235,171?
Something is not right about these numbers. Perhaps they are only for a very limited downtown area and not the whole metro?
For the numbers to correct the home ownership rate would have to be above 90% unless a very large fraction of renters live in rented houses and not rented apartments.
My guess is that the numbers are for downtown only.
Wikipedia: In 2012, the combined population of the downtown neighbourhoods (including the Downtown Commercial Core, the Downtown East Village, the Downtown West End, Eau Claire, Chinatown, and the Beltline) was 36,228. However, looking at all of the inner-city neighbourhoods, the combined population was 179,304.[171]
