Content is good but it's very hard to listen when there's so many filler words "like" from both speakers.

Thanks for the feedback, we’ll work on this!

You need timestamps. Half of the discussion is about non sense. Just want the outlook for Vancouver real estate prices.

[@RMD992-f2n]

Not nonsense but not related to Title of video.

Down. Way down.

Real Estate WILL correct back within long term median income servicing trendline.... it is now inevitable, given. the unprecedented in history suspension of 'normal' monetary policy effects that have distorted Financialized assets now so distorted/unsustainable by gdi(income) as derivable from consumer Debt expansion reliant gdp now equally unsustainable. If you believe otherwise ? I would invite you to go look at the people in the Grocery Store struggling to EAT let be feed a Family for context regarding 'where' your further DEBT expansion based servicing capacity is coming from to support your 'wealth' fantasy ?

[@Stormshfter]

I agree. Everyone with the appetite for debt already has all they can handle. Young people are still priced out, so I don't see where any new buyers would be coming from. Not to mention in times of recession it's the young people (first time buyers) who get laid off.

100% false, cry more plz Your problem is you make up baseless stats to drivel out a useless opinion, much like betting on a hockey game based on the number of hits during the game (aka toronto maple leafs are going to win the game because they hit the other team 5 times more)...... you think because it is a game related stat that it must be important. No, your opinion is absolutely in unicorn land. Real estate prices are based on cost of construction.... when that keeps going higher, prices will follow.

How would Business owners be upset about the gst holiday ? Literally driving so much more sales and volume to your business. Updating your systems takes 15 minutes. Just absurd takes

[@vancouver.realestate]

I see you haven’t been a retail business owner nor seen the fine print and exclusions on the policy. They made it non-mandatory at the last minute because of its complexity.

I used to run a toy store with a POS system. We had 3 stores. We had thousands of skus. For us to update this, it would take at least a whole day each way. Doing this during the Christmas rush is just stupid. Now you might say "why can't you use categories to change this?" The main reason is that the categories we used are different than the categories the government uses. Another point is how do you determine what items fit? Ie. Toys for kids under 14 is exempt... many toys don't have an age description. Then there are returns. The only way to make this feasible would be to do this in real-time. But then the problem would be to remember to take it off based on all exceptions. It would take so much more time to process each transaction. Plus there would be more transactions to fix the mistakes. Places like Walmart, costco, etc can do this because they can have someone update the system in the days prior and then upload the changes at midnight. Mom and pop stores don't have that luxury

[@RMD992-f2n]

@ okay even if that is the case. You’re telling me that the headache of all that is not worth the enormous increase in sales and profit you’ll bring to your business as a result of this tax measure ?

[@vancouver.realestate]

Very well said.

[@vancouver.realestate]

What enormous increase in sales? The GST savings is minimal, it’s not going to get people flocking to stores.
