That will have no effect.  The Chinese use Vancouver to launder their money. Most of the buyers are multi millionaires at a minimum. 

At their race track 20 years ago, was the first time I ever paid $10 for a pack of smokes.

Seattle real estate:

You might recall we bought in February 2014 and sold in November 2014.  Despite only owning for nine months, our sale price was over 10% more than our purchase price.

Out of curiosity, I (regrettably) looked today to see what the Zillow estimate is on the place.  In the 21 months since we sold, it is up another 32%.   I know Zillow can be off, so I looked at some of the recent comps Zillow showed, and that price is clearly legit.

Not saying I wish we'd waited, but...sheesh.

Should have kept my little house as a rental, but needed the equity badly.  Had I kept, would charge double the mortgage payment for rent and sat on a property that is double what I paid for it in 2001.

Glad to see GM is okay after his first night without his family. Picturing him wandering through a strip club, sans pants, clutching a bottle of BBQ sauce.

Not for long.  They just passed a 15% foreign buyer tax. And most of the buyers are Chinese nationals getting their money out of China.

Yup.  Buying here too.

friend of mine in vancouver just sold his house for $4 million.   i've stayed at his house, its nice but nothing fancy, in Portland it would sell for about 800-900 in a nice old Portland neighborhood,   maybe 700-750 on bull mountain etc.    A year ago he thought he could sell it for 2 mil.    a chinese lady bought his and the neighbors for 8 mil.   stupid money.

Chinese doing in Vancouver what the Hasidics are doing in NY state?   Or do they just buy up the real estate and rent/resell it to locals?

[Henry Ford 60,520]

Hey, when one doctor prescribes Ritalin and then a cardiologist diagnoses you with an aortic aneurysm, that's probably a sign one should stop taking Ritalin, right? Asking for a friend. 

[kevzilla 8,381]

JFC, HF. I hope you asked the cardiologist. I don't think they are necessarily related.

But I may soon have a superpower.  They say I may have the aortic valve of a cow.  Admittedly not as cool as strength of a spider.

One week of freedom from the shackles and chains I call a family.  One glorious week.  Dropped them all off at the harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrport at 5:30am.  Did I go straight into work like a good employee?  The hell I did.  Went straight to McDonalds, got TWO of their breakfast sandwiches, tried to figure out how to work the smart TV at home so I could watch porn in giant TV glory, gave up that perplexing boondoggle and used my phone like some sort of filthy animal and then walked to the office like Sacamano does every day.  Bar trivia tonight after a happy hour at BW3.  Also on tap this week, Top Golf opens up and I just happen to know two of the smoking hot bartenders.

It's okay, good buddy.  They said it's because of my penis, not the speed.

 

 

Although I could have misunderstood what "congenital" means.

It's Spanish for 'with genitials.'

So what I'm hearing out of today's thread discussion is that there's unused speed around.

I'm kind of freaking out about having a cow heart valve put into my heart.  I feel like you're not supposed to cut pieces out of organs and replace them with beef.

Those look like tip boards which we use for pools and stuff but if you can win money and they are tabs you can pull so we'll go with that. Disregard the grammar in that sentence.
