satv is satv.I don't think there's any need for speculation.He works in warehouse management for Loblaws. He graduated high school around 1986 and joined Loblaws not long after. He is relatively poorly educated and admits to being more of a jock than an intellectual. His poor English is a result of lack of personal mental organization which also shows up in his debating skills (often producing fallacies and non sequitors). I don't think he's a troll, but he seems to enjoy the fact that he's the pariah here, I think it makes him feel special. The views he espouses are, I am quite certain genuinely felt, but because of his poor critical thinking skills he cannot independently come to his own conclusions and simply relies on what he hears in the mass media (which he attempts to parrot here to 'educate' the rest of us).There. I'm going to bookmark this thread. Next time the whole, "who is Satv?" conversation comes up just refer back to this comment because it's distracting us from our purpose for being here and it's really not relevant.

This is senseless. Look at it this way: SATV is SATV. And if he just happens to be the alter-ego of somebody else, he deserves a break on general principle for such original metaphors. And should this alter ego be a manipulating realtor, wouldn't you rather have this manipulator waste time writing in a manner which takes time and is hard to understand than making up salient and convincing spin?

Things are unravelling quickly. More news, this time on our side of the border."...a report from RBC Financial Group's economics department said: "Our expectation is that generally healthy financial conditions outside of housing will prevent the weakness in equities from continuing.""And that's trying to put a positive spin on things. Interesting how the banks have gone from pretending housing is solid to chucking it overboard as excess baggage on a sinking ship in under a week. Kind of implies that they knew all along that housing was shaky. TSX plunges to 2006 levels

don't think anybody thinks of these newest townhouses as "dwellings" anymore, but merely investments. They're not meant to be lived in, so who cares about the quality. Everyone buys them to sell in a couple of years and they don't expect their lifespan to go beyond thatThat of course is the bubble, or should I say bizarro, definition of "investment" - something without inherent value, but which will be taken off your hands by a greater fool.As opposed to the economic definition of "investment" - an asset that you buy for a price justified by its future yield of income or utility.

Looks like Saskatoon really rocks at almost 54% yoy price increase.Must be the mountains, the olympics, and oh yeah-shortage of land.Imagine what Rennie could do for that market.

SATV "objects are placed accurately, and can not be judge without performance after completion"Sorry most of what I find can be seen easily by an experienced eye. What I see is absolutely no Professional supervision or contractors who are overloaded and understaffed with experienced people. This is not "normal" contruction defects but "sloppy" poor quality workmanship. I've been at this for 30 years and the construction quality is far below the level it was 10 years ago. The design of building envelopes has improved and that quality is better as that is watched closely and covered by extended 10 year warranties. All other building systems only have to last 1 year so they duct tape it together for 12 months! (slight exageration).
