Someone asked him why he was so happy about a project going under, and that started the ball rolling. :) Most of the people at the table weren't from Vancouver and everyone had a thoughtful opinion about what was going to happen to the market. Interestingly, NOBODY claimed "everyone wants to move here" or "it's the best place on earth" or anything like that. Everyone had opinions founded on data perceived to be relevant. The people at the table either had bought years ago or hadn't bought at all, there weren't any "new owners" so... the conversation was pretty interesting. <p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-11784">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I didn't bring up the subject, my co worker did….. he got the news about Brio from his girlfriend.

What was the context and did you bring up the topic? I pretty much keep my strong bearish opinions on the market to myself. I have many friends that bought in the last year or two and I don't want to offend them.

I was a big Twin Peaks fan at the time so I used a chess analogy to tie them together. The prof gave me a 97 on the exam and said it was the best essay she'd ever read. My hand was bruised from writing when the essay had finished. :) Believe it or not I was at a work function last night and the subject of this blog came up.

I don't really care whether property prices move up or down; it's only money. Now, English literature...this is the stuff that dreams are made of (not some building on a piece of land). Btw, scullboy, it's never too late (and I don't mean buying property)! <p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-11695">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> scullboy, blueskies,

Meanwhile things get even crazier here while everywhere else is collapsing. I can't figure out if Vancouver is fiddling while Rome burns or I've walked into the Masque of the Red Death.
