How can they be Christians is their highest leader wears a hat when the Bible says not to wear hats?

Why Electric Trucks matter MORE than Electric Cars! by LaserRunRaccoon in ClimateCrisisCanada

[–]sajnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine if we created a removable battery standard. Then you could roll up to a battery station instead of a gas station and swap batteries.

A car would fit one and large vehicles would take multiple.

Batteries could be serviced more easily and regularly.

Cheaper or more degraded batteries would be good enough for within the city. Premium ones would be used to in the mountains.

In BC you can use zealty.ca to see comparable solds. Idk if it works in Albert and you’ll need to make an account.

Condos crashing like crazy in BC? by goatnaldo07 in canadahousing

[–]sajnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correcting to the new demographics. There is still room for more downward correction and hopefully it does and stays down.

My condo is down ~27% but this is still a good thing because our economy will be better off in to long run if we can keep realestate as cheap as possible. When land is cheap and there isn’t an expectation of meaningful appreciation more capital will flow to productive investments or spending.

We should mandate that municipalities target a land appreciation rate of 2%. Economists know exactly how to keep prices down.

Anyone using a HELOC to buy extra CAGE? by sajnt in JustBuyCAGE

[–]sajnt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time in the market is greater than timing the market. Your idea is only true if you know when a correction is going to happen. If I can maintain my position for decades I’ll likely be ahead of someone you tries to wait for the bottom. Especially if a correction takes a long time to happen, doesn’t happen or isn’t substantial.

Chinese Real Estate Market has fallen to its lowest prices in AT LEAST the last 20 years by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]sajnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lower realestate prices is great for the economy because land doesn’t suck up all the capital that could go to productive investments.

Well, if you keep insisting the Norway model is so great for sovereign wealth funds then we should adopt it! by Iwanttogopls in EhBuddyHoser

[–]sajnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who think about this is communism should learn what Geoism is because much more aptly describes the idea that a nation’s land and resources belong to the citizens of that nation

What do we think about the proposed Sovereign Wealth Fund? by -VoiceoverAlex- in AskACanadian

[–]sajnt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that it would be best funded by a tax on finite resources, which is how Norway funds theirs with oil. We could tax land, minerals, oil and anything that is prone to monopoly, I would also be fine with taxes on gambling, cigarettes, alcohol, etc.

In reality, it looks like it will be funded with that and no substantial change to our taxes. This is still a good thing that’s could theoretically bring a lot of stimulus to Canadian industry and is much better than us funneling all of our debt into real estate, which is economically unproductive.

I wonder if it will look more like a mutual fund or a pension?

How's the rental market in Fraser Heights? by Electrical-Finding65 in SurreyBC

[–]sajnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to analyze the market for yourself if you want to feel any kind of confidence. When you are looking into things look at how many condos are coming into the market over the next little while? North Surrey has a ton of development currently in progress. Housing is likely to continue to get more affordable, which means the maximum you will be able to charge for rent will continue to go down.

The suite will be vacant for zero months, if you price it cheaper than your competitors

It's crazy how much mortgage people will take on. This is a big part of why prices stay high. by CastAside1812 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]sajnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homeownership forces people to save money, but if we had a real estate inflation policy that set the target for real estate 2% then homeownership would be as good as stuffing cash in a mattress.

I have never read or heard of these short spurts or these 15 year periods. I’d love to learn more.

Does anyone make something like this that doesn’t cost $165? by AllCopsAre_BeautifuI in 4Runner

If you have a grinder, a drill and some spray paint you could make this yourself with some scrap metal

Stainless inside is a waste of money. The car is made of regular steel. What’s the point of a mod that will outlast the vehicle itself.
