space889 — LOL, the doorways are real emergency exits, not placeholders. As for a quake happening while you're in the tunnel — you have far greater chance of being hit by a car while crossing the street after you leave the skytrain. You're far, far more likely to die early from bad food and no exercise than die in a tunnel. Worry about that.

@bubbly: Reading the article got my anger up quite a few notches until I realized that this is par for the course/regular business practices for RE in BC. I mean how many buildings by BOSA, Polygon, Concord Pacific actually have these companies' name, reputation, and financial backing behind it? pretty much none. It's all just numbered construction companies.

@Ravishing Rick: Dude, your seriously not funny. I know you think we are all laughing our heads off, but we are just ignoring your posts after we see who the author is

Flippers are spreading rumors on the real estate forum (where ShinGaiLi patronizes no doubt) that the Japanese emigrate to Vancouver in exodus. They reported that new students in local schools are fresh from Japan. Geez, they need to educate themselves of what we already knew. Cascadia, the West Coast Fault Line Is "Nine Months Pregnant" " The average time between magnitude 8 and larger Cascadia earthquakes is about 240 years (see page 8, Cascadia earthquake timeline, based on Chris Goldfinger’s data, Oregon State University). The last megaquake, estimated as a magnitude 9, occurred in 1700 — that’s 311 years ago. In geologic terms, Cascadia is “9 months pregnant” and overdue. Even though geologists identified 41 past Cascadia megaquakes, they cannot pinpoint exactly when the next Cascadia earthquake will strike. Nonetheless, engineers can design and build to withstand earthquake shaking. Now… Read more »

@Li Kai Shing:

Yeah Ok, and the idiots who stand in line overnight to by a condo for 3 or 4 times the price it should be, are all Chinese Tycoons wearing masks to look Caucasian.

And the fools, who are captured in the stats on mortgage debt, actually have the money, but they just wanted to borrow the 5% down payment, just for the thrill of being in debt to their eyeballs.

And I guess the same rich Chinese stood in line Vegas, and Dublin, and of course they engineered the bust so they can now start buying up everything a rock bottom prices.

The Chinese Factor has got to be the biggest farce in history. It’s hard to believe the Rich Asian Tycoons are great enough numbers has to great this enormous bubble. Somehow it does not compute-rich Asians loading up the trunk of their Bentley Azure T with their barbecue and heading out early in the morning to get a spot at Spanish Banks. Are these the same people who fight over the last Kotex box on sale at Super Store? Don’t they have more choices than Vancouver? Unless the low lives like Bill Slut, Muir and Levy come up with some hard numbers, I won’t accept the HAM explanation. The Chinese factor is on the scale of 1 to 10 is approximately.0000025%; the balance is hype, manipulation of the media, and an audience who is only willing to believe they are… Read more »
