   UBC economist: the Olympic Village may cost less than the city is claiming

   VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – The costs of the Olympic Village seem to keep going up, but one economist says Vancouverites won’t end up being hit too hard.

   One billion dollars is the latest figure released by the City of Vancouver for the Athletes’ Village. Dr. Tsur Somerville is a UBC economist who says our credit rating may be damaged in the short term, but it’s nothing we can’t recover from.

   “Clearly they’re going to say the City’s financial position is worse, and that it’s likely to affect the credit rating but not in a severe way.”

   Somerville says after retrieving most of the revenue dumped into the project from housing sales, the village should only end up costing Vancouverites about $275 million.

   And he says there is more than enough assets in property endowment funds the City could sell to cover those costs.

   How much they pay this shhhmuck.

   here’s the link.

    Ah Supraboy, I love your comments. I really do.

    I don’t think you’re a RE troll or a racist. I just think you’re a very young guy (let me guess, between 20 and 25) who spent most of his life in Richmond, except for the odd vacation here and there.

    If you replace “Chinese” with “tech worker” and “RE” with “Nortel” you’d be in Toronto in 2000. I can’t tell you how many people I knew who said quite firmly they “would never sell for less then they bought”.

    Well, they didn’t. They discovered they were never millionaire, they were just told they were millionaires.

    The Asians you know aren’t rich, either. And they’ll still have their cash in the bank, so they probably won’t be homeless. But they sure as hell won’t be “millionaires” either. I suspect Richmond shops will see an awful lot of second hand gold jewelry come flooding in during the next few months.

    You’re so cute and naive, I could just pinch you. I can wait to see the surprised look on your face when this all comes down. Really. Do you mind if I take a photo? I think I’ll call it “Millennial discovered the world doesn’t Revolve Around Him.”

    Agree with what you say…people , “in theory ” are or should responsible for what they do.

    However,
    “Buyer Beware” is usually what the Judge will say after you have taken the net and swept everybody onto court.

    The seller of new product has the upper hand via the legal documents, numbered companies etc. Most buyers are stretched -thin ” One – Ofs ”

    Older product…Buyer Beware is no different than a used car… most warranties no longer apply = “As -Is Where -Is ” .

    “Buyer Beware” creates finality…which is necessary in the Big Picture.

    However, the Buyer is not forced to buy. The flaw lies in the Buyers lack of awareness , lack of due – diligence, and little if any knowledge of the product they are buying. The point of no return is when they sign on the dotted line.

    Unless outright deceived or victim of fraud, , the buyer is basically dressed up in a sheep costume and holding up a sign to the seller/vendor ” PLEASE take advantage of ME “.

    Unfortunately,…many sellers/vendors take that cue.
    I’ve explained the cure/prevention earlier.
