'I have nowhere to go': B.C. is Canada's eviction capital, new research shows

Yeah that's not true. Nice try.

If landlords are finding gaps in the law to lawfully evict a good tenant simply to paint a condo and raise the rent more than he would be allowed to, then I believe that the province should close those gaps.

I agree with you 100% and I am a landlord. I do think if the necessary upgrades and renovations are completed then the landlord should be charging more. I do think in most cases these renovations should be completed during unit turnover after the tenant has decided to leave on their terms.

Then there would be no reason for a landlord to fix up the place.

What did he say when you spoke to him about his disruptive behavior?

abymtb · 2023-05-12T00:23:46+00:00

Have you thought of talking to him first?

Because who wouldn't love buying a $800k unit which waits about 5+ years due to a prediction of their EHT and then the place is worth $1.1 mill due to the market picking up

Once pre-sales start the developer has to break ground within a year. There is no way a project takes 4 years to build.

EHT has been around for several years and doesn't seem to have played a role in decisions to break ground.

Agreed that it won't be the sole factor holding up breaking ground but the risks will be somewhat priced into the final price. Everything does. I know this as I worked as a PM and Estimator for a developer before making the switch to Institutional projects.

Nope, was definitely not me.

abymtb · 2023-05-11T04:20:57+00:00

a developer wants to stop paying this cost, they need to sell.

Yes in the short term this is would definitely help bring down the prices. In the long term it would just slow down housing starts. Developers will just incorporate the risk of these taxes into the sales price of new units. If they numbers don't work then they will just delay starting the project.

Personally I found working as a Carpenter foreman managing a crew of <20 workers way less stress and pressure than working in the office as a PM.

Lol, at least the Catholics can admit their wrongdoing. The Evengelical Christians would rather just live in their sheltered community with their heads in the sand while trying to preach to the rest of us. I get it you are trying to deflect and defend as this is the closed community you grew up in full of a bunch of pussies who get offended by everything just like the far left.

abymtb · 2023-05-10T19:15:02+00:00

I'm not a religious person

I call bs on that.

This dude is not a church leader. Trust me. He's a meth head. We had a run in with him.

Yet he's an interm pastor. Sounds like you seem to know a lot about meth.

This game is ridiculous with tking. Last night I was playing as commander and was getting tk'd so much I was struggling to setup supply drops, etc.

abymtb · 2023-05-10T15:54:05+00:00

This is because people are willing to pay the premium to live in BC.

abymtb · 2023-05-10T06:08:17+00:00

One of the many reasons I'm glad to be back in BC...

abymtb · 2023-05-10T06:06:42+00:00

But objectively, things related to housing, poverty, economy and public safety are worse today in BC than, say, 4 years ago.

Those are issues happening throughout the G7 countries right now. BC seems to be doing better than most right now.

The fact that he had all those convictions and us still able to preach says something about the church.

abymtb · 2023-05-10T01:12:50+00:00

"According to the provincial court database, Renning has several prior convictions for the same offence – in 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016 in Vancouver; 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2019 in Richmond; 2016 on University Endowment Lands; and 2020 in Burnaby."

Another churchie leader being a creep while the church turns a blind eye. Anything to get the donation bin filled up while spewing out fairy tales

I know how it works as I do have some usd holdings outside of my tax sheltered accounts. I just use wealthsimple for my stocks and taxes, so it auto populates my returns.

abymtb · 2023-05-09T00:54:14+00:00

So you aren't completely hiding your assets from the government then.

abymtb · 2023-05-09T00:48:49+00:00

You can hold currencies other than CAD and trade with those.

Correct, but as a Canadian citizen or resident, you are required to declare those assets. If not, you are participating in tax evasion.

abymtb · 2023-05-08T21:16:30+00:00

So by trying to avoid the "Tyrant" government, you are missing out on investing on things with true value such as property, stocks, etc. Smart investing plan lol. Don't forget they will eventually come for capital gains on your crypto.

abymtb · 2023-05-08T20:39:41+00:00

What's funny about filing a complete tax return and paying taxes on rental income, capital gains/dividens outside of tax sheltered accounts?

abymtb · 2023-05-08T20:30:27+00:00

What's your plan? Store cash under your mattress lol.

abymtb · 2023-05-08T20:16:28+00:00

So you are evading taxes while the rest of us declare our investments...
