I think the shameless pitchman is experimenting with some program which redirects posters from IPs which may challenge his bull.

Re the cost of social housing.

QUOTE:

$326K for 250 sq.ft is $1304 per sq ft.!!!!!!
Holy Christ!!! Talk about ripping off the Donors who financed this. New construction is less than $90.

They probably have the same bean counters as the 2010 games.

By the time they bring these things up to Gov’t standards, the cost rolls up BIG time.

In THEIR world , if they built it NEW up to Gov’t standards, it is “only slightly more expensive”…….that is THEIR term of reference. Gov’t tends to go Cadillac when Chevy will do.

However, they have lots of SRO’s the BC Gov’t bought..maybe the Gov’t envisions renovating these as make work projects in a slow economy. However, the 2010 Olympics are just over a year away, and no solution for the homeless etc, yet that I have heard of.

“You don’t have it in strong hands, you have flippers,” said Shiller, who helped create the S&P/Case Shiller real estate price indexes. “These speculators are preventing the market from crashing now, and when they get out it could fall again.”

Schiller is describing the ‘dead cat bounce’ which will sucker in new buyers when a first false bottom is percieved. In a crash, things crash and then crash again, then a recovery seems to be in the offing for a while unti wham, it crashes again. Bear markets are ugly, they want to take as many victims down as possible.

Re: Dell transferring jobs from Ireland to Poland. Ya, depressing for the Irish, but think about how happy the Poles are!

Apparently Wall Street used a lot of computers during the roaring 2000′s and now they don’t need them, hence the layoffs of the Chinese firm.

“Slightly more expensive than new construction”? Excuse me? Did they really say that?

$326K for 250 sq.ft is $1304 per sq ft.!!!!!!
Holy Christ!!! Talk about ripping off the Donors who financed this. New construction is less than $90.

What is $1300 ? This amount of money away to some union contractor at 20 times the going rate for new construction.

They could have given the homeless person an income of $1300 per month for 20 years !!!!!

326,000 divided by 1304 = 250 ( months) divided by 12 (months) equals 20.83 years.

BTW the students at Emily carr had a presentation of housing designs of 250 sq.ft which had all the same amenities which could be built for $1000.00.

Whoever donated money for this project will probably not do it again. No one likes to get ripped off by politically correct ‘shit for brains’ at City Hall.

Not even a radical advocate for the homeless can rationally support this boondoggle. It just rips off the money that should be going into homeless projects and lines the pocket of a rip off political club.

Hey Skullboy, it looks like squirrel is a delicacy now so it may not be around when the crunch hits! We’ll have to eat rats!
