Calgary real estate prospects

[Tik-Tok]

Second highest unemployment rate in Canada (for metro-cities), also second highest median income.

Exactly how this city gonna recover lol aren’t DT vacancies approaching 30% lol

I always wonder what % of Canada real estate is actually run up through international buyers/speculators/laundering?
They don't even know this figure and given the uncovering of casinos and money being laundered through Canada, my guess is it's very high.

The laundering here is pretty good... being local I know these deals are utter bullshit, but they pass the bank DD as it’s all very well done. So what can ya do? I catch way more shitty attempts in BC and Ontario than here. BC is so bad I’m convinced no one in that province pays their fair share of taxes... just like Quebec

E, I don't understand the problem. I'm on EI so I have money coming in consistently. Why can't I live in a 800k infill like everyone else? So unfair.

The importance of structure loading of the grill is often overlooked, niche market? Perhaps, lucrative? No; hobby mostly.

For the paying of the bills and financing of OTM 0DTE option contracts I mitigate risks associated with lending currency to some of the riskier of individuals. I use to try and push these down the throats of the same lenders prior to flipping sides, so you can say I’m sort of a professional, but don’t. I am working towards a career that actually has a designation though. Takes 7 years of experience, only got one year down, so long road. But better than glorified 3-D drawor for @gretz ...who also went on to better things

I still can’t believe you turned down doubling up your industry exposure with the world’s worst bookkeeper, that deal would have been borderline predatory (in your favour) hahaha

^^^ Jesus... look at average prices here vs ANYWHERE ELSE.

Ohhh... now it’s prospects outside of Canada??? Riiight.

I mean yeah... for a niche, select few their prospects here are less than elsewhere, for regular people that exist in quantities large enough to actually move metrics, I’m saying this is nothing but a grass is greener argument. It’s not, it’s just another shade of green.

I would wager if you removed purposefully CERB collecting unemployment, and the “I’m too good to work a lesser role” employment. No, it’s not anything worse than elsewhere in THIS country for most people to find work here. Very few can just up and leave these borders

You are hilarious. I had a response written up but we're just going in circles so I'll stop haha.

You also ignored my question about what exactly spurred the growth of our city, if not O&G? What is so obvious that I'm missing there?

I've got it guys. Calgary needs to...diversify.

I'd say our economy is much more diversified since O&G has shrunk 40%. Win!

Hells yeah. This is clearly a denominator problem.

Trick question, we’ve been stagnant for most of our adult lives

But that’s the argument really... most of Canada has seen an undeserved boom. Windsor? Are you kidding me?

But yeah, I have seen incomes from all walks of live from all over and have heard all the stories of gaps in employment, etc, etc. It’s not better anywhere else. At least here it’s overall incredibly affordable. If there is a larger shift to remote, Calgary is attractive. Mostly cause it’s not Windsor

Also, take us for example: HQ is in the heart of Bay St. Office is bursting at the seams. We want more growth out west, Calgary was picked for the west office, we hire out here when we can, space is cheap and we have tons of room to grow the team. Hopefully we see more companies doing that moving forward, seeing that teams can work effectively remotely might actually help us here

Were you gone before I got the 3-D printer? Can’t say I miss that either haha. They stuck me down in the back office off the shop with it. Mmm... fumes, less fumes though than that came off that old drunk that would be in there from time to time though, still no idea what he did? Door assembly?
