We must immediately ban immigration from China and the Philippines after what has transpired over the weekend.

The US president was insulted by China and then called a ‘son of a whore’ by the Philippines. Moron Trudeau doesn’t now whats he’s dealing with letting hundreds of thousands of these people into our country. When they get power over us, they will not hesitate to wipes us out. Visit and live in Asia and then you will know what I’m talking about.

The Philippine president is openly killing his own people in the name of battle against drugs. Trudeau and Mccallam are the biggest morons.

I hope we have a backbone PM who can stand upto Obama like Philippines President did I salute that guy.

I am not worried about Filipinos they work they go home and they STFU they dont act like they own this country. They are one poorest countries they come here work pay taxes not like scumbags Chinese who game the system.

I don’t think he stood up to Obama. Obama wasn’t doing anything, and didn’t need standing up to. China doesn’t want the US to be on good terms with the Philippines since the only way the Filipino fishermen are going to be able to maintain their traditional fishing areas in what are United Nations sanctioned ocean territories of that country is to get the US’s help, since China is building islands there and a military base to try to control the whole area. Probably the Philippines President was tricked into spouting off about something that was not even the reason for the upcoming meeting with Obama and had nothing to do with it. He was probably manipulated by a Chinese plant (the reporter who asked him the question that triggered him). His ego, causing him to blunder.

Luo Yu, the son of a former chief of staff of China’s military, said China’s most politically powerful families had been transferring money out of the country for some time.
“They don’t believe they will hold on to power long enough — sooner or later they would collapse,” said Mr. Luo, a former colonel in the Chinese Army whose younger brother was a business partner with one of Anbang’s founders. “So they transfer their money.”

I had been here 8 years ago for a while. Although the bear sentiment does not change, I sense a dangerous anti-Chinese advocate here, which I don’t think that is what our Canadian core value is. There was a similar post 8 years ago, which was against snob SuperBoy, but ran out of control and being escalated to anti-Chinese. However, it was soon be corrected by the members here, with our Canadian core value – all men are created equal (American’s value too?). Later I wrote a demographic analysis article to categorize different Chinese people in greater Vancouver, that you may still be able to find it in the history post. It may not still valuable as time passed, however, it is still the same story: the majority of the Chinese you see in your daily life here are: –… Read more »

The growing ‘anti-Chinese’ sentiment on this blog is not about the Chinese race, it about the current Mainland Chinese culture. It is polar opposite to those core Canadian values of which you speak of and if we were to choose to sit back and say nothing, those core Canadian values would go extinct in about 10-20 yrs. Most don’t have any problem at all with the local Chinese that are Canadian citizens and got that citizenship the right way. In fact, most of them are equally against the current invasion of Mainlanders. Really it’s our bought government that is responsible for this backlash against the invasion for pandering to their donors and allowing it to get to this point where we have not choice but to stand up for our city and country.

Can’t agree more to you. Just so you know, that some of the new Mainlanders are just like me, as technical immigrants, striving hard here. I don’t have any stats to back me up, but the guts feeling is that the crooks who took the advantage of the loop holes in the system are only a small portion of total new Chinese immigrants. And yes, the damage they caused is detrimental.

You are right on all those accounts. We need to fix them properly by new rules/legislation. When I was looking at the Vancouver house 15 years ago, there was a 2500ft 2-story old house on a corner of a school on the west 41 asking for 400+K, and I felt it was too expensive. When I felt being priced out on 2008, it was already more than doubled. This bubble has been expanding for a long time, and the Chinese hot money is definitely a factor, but may not be throughout the roller coaster ride. In recent several years, the high-end properties are mainly driven by those hot money. For the mid/lower-end, there are more other reasons. We need to fix the source of the problem – the loop holes in our system.

There are 5 or 6 blatantly racist posters on this blog and they are prolific. Please don’t mistake their strident rhetoric as reflecting the opinion of the majority.

Many of us believe that offshore money has become a huge issue for our market, especially in the last 2 years. Whose fault is that? Our own. Most immigrant home-buyers have come here legally and bought their citizenship (legally). Who set the rules by which they came here (legally)? Our own elected representatives.

Those of us looking to find the cause of the current fiasco need only look in the mirror (well, maybe Christy Clark and Stephen Harper’s mirror).

Thanks for clarifying things up, it makes a lot more sense. I was just afraid that the majority being influenced too much by these individuals, just like the result of the communist brain-wash in China/USSR in the last century. There is an easy way to fix offshore money injecting into the local real estate: increase the property tax (2+% of the evaluated price annually), and make the increased portion being income tax deductible. I am sure this way all the scumbags will pay what they should pay (even they bought houses before the 15% extra foreign property transfer tax), and the collected extra tax money can be used to maintain/build more infrastructure, such as increasing the capacity on the bridges over the Fraser River and lower down the toll, which I believe will further drive the Vancouver housing price down… Read more »

Don’t let these guys bother you. They are basically children and cannot be reasoned with. They say they hate Chinese, but I don’t think any of them have ever met a Chinese person and I doubt they could find China on a map. They are just happy to have someone to hate. It makes them feel better somehow. The good thing is that the opinions of a few nutjobs on a blog don’t have any impact on life in the real world.

That is what I guessed too. However, the hatred sentiment is not a good thing for either parties.

I got the feeling of normal people, especially the young guys just fresh out of school, being priced out of the home town. We need to fix it, by introducing rules to patch the loop holes, not by wrong propaganda focusing on a different complication.

Here is a question:

Why would any landlord tick the “month-to-month” box on a lease? What is the advantage of not managing the agreement in discrete units of time with arbitrarily modifiable, conditions, other than the convenience of not having to make plans?

0

Sailor55

My landlord ticked the month-to-month box, just as he did for every other tenant in my purpose built rental building. The turnover is low here and tenants pay around 3K/month, on time, every month. Rent goes up yearly based on the government’s allowable rate. The tenants are high quality and reliable. Management is professional and responsible. Good deal all around.

I get that people do. Mine did. What I am wondering is why they do it. What is the advantage to the landlord? If I were looking to rent a new place, I would insist on it, because I would want the stability, but I am wondering if there is any motivation on the landlord’s side, other than pleasing the tenant, which has made this such a popular practice over the years.

What kind of place could you buy with a 3K payment? That qualifies you for less than a 600K mortgage. You can’t get bupkis for that kind of chump change here.

Add a (historically) sensible downpayment to that 600K and you’d get something reasonable.

Or you can pay no downpayment, rent a way nicer place, collect dividends on the money you saved on the downpayment which is invested, not have to pay the $500 per month maintenance fee, $300 per month property tax, special assessments and a realtor $50K to sell if you want to move. Oh and you also get to avoid the 20% capital loss the average condo took over the past few months.

It’s the bears who spout the false narrative by cherry-picking the bottom of the trough as the “mean” to which prices will surely revert.

At the end of a fixed term lease, the landlord can raise the rent by any amount they want. Month to month tenancy agreements are subject to rent controls. Tenants would probably be less likely to rent from someone insisting on a fixed term.

Because the landlord would eliminate almost all good tenants who may be interested in considering the rental.

I recently signed a 12 month lease that then becomes month-to-month. It is in one of the inner suburbs and is $1250/month. It is an old but well maintained building with a few tenants who have lived here over 40 years.

The property management company seems to want long-term tenants who will form a stable community. There is no sign of crime, everyone is nice to each other, and nobody has disturbed my peace and quiet. This is despite the fact that the surrounding neighbourhood isn’t the greatest.

Bad tenants may pay more rent, or accept fixed-term leases, but they end up costing a lot more money in the end.

I think that the lack of class is actually a kind of ignorance. Global capitalism has confused people; since everyone knows how to trade, buy and sell, scheme to get ahead, etc. it seems as if we all have enough in common that we mean the same thing when we use words belonging to the language of commerce. But deep underlying assumptions are different. There are those with an authoritarian mindset who fundamentally don’t get democracies– they think that at best majority rule or a press corps is a tool available to the despot or gangster to maintain power. They don’t understand personal responsibility or respect. When one person has this view I call it cynicism but when a whole large population of 100s of millions have that view I don’t know what to call it.

As I said before, the words of the Chinese security official who wanted to keep the american press away from photographing obama leaving the plane gave evidence to the authoritarian mindset the chinese have — they think every arriving leader from all the countries is a boss-guy and his minions, with the press and inessential part; they lack the imagination to understand that part and parcel of the president of the US is the press — they are of a piece. It’s like trying to argue with a tree to get rid of its shadow when it crosses into Chinese territory. The tree is not asserting its dominance. It’s just what it is.

Who was “in charge” was not really the issue as far as I can tell, though perhaps that;s the only way China can see things. The real issue is: does China have a clue what a democracy is? I suggest that it doesn’t. That it’s a big blind spot for it and an ordinary citizen like that security official is only able to think in authoritarian terms and doesn’t understand that that the man does not stand alone: the free press (what’s left of it these days) is inseparable from him.

“Sales Prices Decline 8% Since June”
http://www.vancitycondoguide.com/sales-prices-decline-8-since-june/
What we have discovered is that since June, 2016 sales prices decline by roughly 4% for all properties in the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. However, the dip is greater for detached homes, with a correction of roughly 8%.

We determined this drop in sales price by using an algorithm which holds characteristics constant. We estimate using an “hedonic regression.” (In economics, hedonic regression or hedonic demand theory is a revealed preference method of estimating demand or value. It decomposes the item being researched into its constituent characteristics, and obtains estimates of the contributory value of each characteristic.)

I think it’s really unimaginative of them to try to control the little cluster of press that buzz around the U.S. president every where he goes. When they invite various countries to China for the g20 they should be culturally aware and think of the U.S. visit as like that of an alien life form similar to a hive of bees — many entities making a whole. It’s not a matter of permissions, China. The press is a part of the whole and cannot be separated from it. To not recognize this is to betray your deeply authoritarian nature.

I will go into every shop and talk up the NDP person who is running against the Liberal, provided I think that he or she has integrity and intelligence and understands e.g. Chomsky on globalization and knows what affordability means to economists. I am good at persuading ordinary people. I am angry enough to take the time to do it.

Tense exchanges in China between US, Chinese officials mark Obama’s arrival at G20 summit

The G20 summit got off to a contentious start Saturday with Chinese officials reportedly confronting National Security Advisor Susan Rice and other U.S. officials in at least three incidents, as President Obama arrived in China for the two-day international economic talks.

Within minutes of Obama arriving on Air Force One, a member of the Chinese delegation started screaming at White House staff, according to reporters on the tarmac.

Can’t get his head around a free press. Thinks that it’s all about dominance games. Does not understand the rule of law other than in Hobbesian terms.

Was talking today to a lady who recently moved to the Sunshine Coast. It is not that she had secret information from Christy about the tax… She used to live in Kerrisdale, says her community disintegrated in recent years (“for cultural reasons”), so she moved to find a community she can relate to. She says that if the money laundering reaches Gibsons, she will move to Powell River.

Kerrisdale completely disintegrated. Unrecognizable.

Not for not. Her generation just keeps winning real estate lotto tickets whether they try to or not.

Too many people believe money can buy happiness. This is why our communities are going downhill.

I know a lot of “white” folks who’ve left Kerrisdale and bought in Hope and beyond for the same reasons. It’s like the white flight of the 50s and 60s in the US, only it’s because the chinese have moved in.

Yes, Canada must be kept all white and Christian no matter what. If it takes a few genocides, no big deal.
