The thing is it only takes an influx of 20 city folk in a town like that, that are used to paying city prices to blow that real estate up with that limited of a supply.

It'd be a good price drop for you guys but for me it's not even worth it.

FYI that same toilet cost 150K in Nanaimo to install. they installed it next to a concrete planter box so you can stand on the planter box and look inside.

The Vancouver Parks Board are the ones that approved this specific project at that particular cost, that has nothing to do with the NDP government.

That toilet thing really blows my mind, I was thinking about it last night. So they are spending 450K on labour, landscaping and plumbing essentially?
I priced a small school addition about 3 weeks ago, 10 classrooms. We do walls and ceilings, our total labour to do exterior and interior walls including soffits and all the ceilings for that 10 classroom addition was $176,000 and included 3,690 man hours.
That toilet must be as complicated as fuck to take 2-1/2 times that to install.

We had a few of these toilets installed in downtown Victoria years ago.
I think it's probably that they don't have existing Sanitary/Domestic Water and electrical lines anywhere near where they're proposing to put it.

Place the toilet in a location where it’s accessible not where you need to reinvent the wheel lol..

so heading up to Vernon on the Easter weekend to look at an investment property? is it too late to find something for a reasonable price? should i be waiting for "the bubble to burst"
What are you guys seeing as rates these days?
I'm 1 year into a 5 year renewal on my current house and will be refinancing to pull out money to cover 20% on a new house. current rate is 2.39% and the refi rate is 2.09%
my broker is telling me a "2nd home" pre-approval right now is 2.19%. that sound right?
am i better to just take all the money against my current home and buy in cash? i have enough equity so that's possible.
i'm told the benefit to doing the 2nd home mortgage is i can write off the interest? any accountants or anyone with experience can comment?

Kelowna spent $750k to replace an existing bathroom with a new one that's heated. Just upgrading the old one would've been $350k apparently.
I'm not sure if that means you guys are doing okay, or if we got fucked even more than I thought.

Example is what they've done to the Robson side of the art gallery street. Brb, spending millions to what was already a common space closed off to cars but let's just dig up the street and re-pave and add no additional value......

I understand you're going to have to do some work to get the plumbing, sanitation and electrical for that toilet working and yes you're going to have to do some landscaping but holy shit use some common sense there is no way it should be this complex in Vancouver to cost nearly 1/2 a million bucks to install the thing.
