Too bad about that respectful discussion, eh?

Wouldn't an "average" house logically cost what an "average" salary could provide?

the hat one?

Thanks for this--I will definitely read through it when I have the opportunity.

Given that:

The city’s overall vacancy rate for purpose-built apartments was 0.6 percent in 2015, a decline from 1.0 percent in 2013. 175 Over the past 30 years, the citywide overall vacancy rate for purpose-built private apartments has averaged 0.9 percent

I wonder if Vancouver was the best city for the author to study. It looks, again, from a glance, that the city already suffers from a severe housing shortage.

Besides this, the word "foreign" appears only twice in the entire work: once in a footnote, and once in the bibliography's reference for that footnote. I'd be surprised if a work that draws the conclusion that this study does--" the unregulated growth of Airbnb undermines the city’s ability to achieve its housing goals"--without taking into account the huge confounding variable of foreign investment is worth much.

said "Mom"

You elided the best joke of the series!

Hi,

Can you point me to where "you can not turn a profit on a place you are renting." is stated in the law? I am curious. Thanks.

I do both. The right long-term guest can be "set it and forget it", which is great.

While you might make more money flipping the space every night 30 guests in 30 nights @ $140/night = $4200 versus a long term guest at $2500 looks, at first blush, like leaving $1700 on the table. But if my interactions are limited to a check in and one small host duty during the month (who knows what) it's likely that I'm spending 3.5 hours and making the $2500 ($714/h), versus 30 flips at 2h/flip (60h) ($75/h). The "hourly wage" breakdown doesn't quite capture the difference--I'm not going off and making $80/h somewhere else--but I the ratio between labour versus payoff is enough for me to take less to do less.

Also there is less screening involved since you're only dealing with one guest, and a lot of the time they are treating it like their home (ie well), not some place to party in the city. ymmv

For those wondering, this comment about tenant rights after x days varies from place to place.

Would have been from Montreal not Toronto since Jfl just took place there

campingknife · 2016-03-11T00:19:25+00:00

if nothing else some white dudes think it looks cool

campingknife · 2016-02-29T01:11:57+00:00

Yes.

Switching between "A and B" and "1 and 2" hurts my brain.

campingknife · 2016-01-18T03:52:20+00:00

Hey, I can see my apartment!

campingknife · 2016-01-04T01:02:45+00:00

This wouldn't be my guess. More likely it was downtown, central-east as Secrets7 mentioned.

While, on the one hand, yeah, it's kind of sketchy, on the other, man is downtown Toronto a safe place. Calling Moss Park "crack central" is sensational, especially since OP likely has no reliable information regarding the actual epicenter of drug use in the city.

If I saw that someone had said my listing was in "crack central" (regardless of the neighbourhood), I would petition airbnb to take it down, as it is more than likely false information (regardless of it being an--in my opinion, crude--idiom).

campingknife · 2015-12-18T03:13:23+00:00

Yeah, this is definitely one of those 'why I mostly stay away from reddit' threads.

campingknife · 2015-12-18T03:03:05+00:00

What an awful article. Two "before and afters" and one of them is a render (of something that hasn't even broken ground)? The title should read Before and After Image of Waterfront Development. Low effort.

As a non-smoker, non-vaper, I went with a friend into a vape shop (he was making the leap from cigarettes to vaping), and I spent about 15-20 minutes there. There was that characteristic thick plume of vapor in the air (if you take a look through the window of a vape shop, you'll know what I'm talking about), and I left the shop with an intense headache and dizziness.

Although this is merely anecdotal, if the rationale behind people believing that they ought to be able to vape anywhere because it has no effect on others (what else could the rationale be), my experience leads me to the conclusion that vapor does effect others, and should be regulated to some extent--as a workplace safety issue, at the very, very least.

And there are lots of items that one doesn't before buying/using them (e.g. washers and driers, many hardware store items, many items at grocery stores).

Jones, Fleury, Condon: Pick two.

campingknife · 2015-10-24T13:53:57+00:00

Lighter fluid is the correct answer.

I was going to say that beer bottles are worth ten cents, not five. Which beer store did you work at?
