Any one can tell me how to get hold of the lawyer mentioned in this case - George Gregory. I have a girlfriend that is trying to get out of a similar project called Parkside Aviawest in Victoria, BC

Even after this embarrassing error has been up for hours, and its been pointed out in the comments, they still haven't fixed it. Canwest is circling the toilet, folks.

The article is priceless! The headline reads that prices are are up 16% from last May, yet the article reads that prices have dropped 6.6% from the same month last year (May)...

You mean there's a difference?

beau: "Sales may be up compared to last May, but certainly not ‘prices’." If you use average prices and only look at certain areas, then it's true. eg On my block last May an old teardown sold for $300K. This May a brand new multi-suite house sold for $600K. Ergo, prices are up 100% YOY. I agree with whomever said in the previous thread that we should be glad stuff like this is being printed and sales are up. More idiots buying at inflated prices today gives me more selection and less competition in 5 years' time.

I just realized I said the Sun when I meant the Province. I think that's ironic or something.

WOW! RE: the Sun Article. It's not just misleading, it's completely wrong!

Province Article Headline:

"Vancouver area prices up 16 per cent over last May"

http://www.theprovince.com/business/House+sales+h…

How does this garbage get printed? Sales may be up compared to last May, but certainly not 'prices'. Unfortunately there's no writer's name attached to this piece of B.S.

I have The Wife and I ride a motorcycle. HA! Anyway, I wonder if those 200 sqft condos were also 7 ft high. May as well go all the way!

realpaul: The reason council approved this motion is because their revenues from permits have dropped like a stone this year. Despearate for cash, they turn to the only ones willing to give it to them without a fight: the developers. No bloody surprise they'll do whatever it takes to get developers to give them that sweet sweet permit money. The City is addicted to permit revenue just as much as a cracked up DTES crackhead is addicted to crack.
