Increasing supply has done nothing to reduce housing costs on some simple supply and demand Economics 101 textbook chart

Especially when #Expo86 and the 2010 Olympics were designed to radically inflate housing equity

This is why real estate is the gold rush

It is with much sadness that I must inform you that the Friendship 500 has sunk. RIP McBarge 😭

At #Expo86 in #Vancouver almost 40 years ago, they had a #maglev #train that went a couple hundred metres. It felt awesome to ride it. And in 39 years there have only been two built in the whole world.

It's time to fix that, hey.

Seriously, divesting is hard

The first ones to go don't suffer from devalued assets

The last to go recoup no costs

Just as #tesla owners, who are starting to see it

#vancouver has been getting worse since before #expo86

Now? It's past the humanity tipping point

Leave now before you lose too much

Don't look back

As someone who cycles frequently in the heart of #Vancouver I've wondered about the big area of undeveloped #expo86 land in the NE corner of False Creek.

So, this article is enlightening and interesting:

I found a free TV at a garage sale this weekend. Apparently will need some fixing but by gosh if it isn't working great so far. (Bedroom TVs seem to be one of THE quickest ways to try out the acid reflux experience, btw)
I looked around for something to buy so as not to be "that neighbor", and there was an #Expo86 mug--which incidentally, there's a funny hashtag to be using--Anyway I was quite pleased, like, "I went to that event!"
And now I own this mug, as if my childhood-in-residence is nowadays hoping for kitchenware I never would have cared one bit about as a kid...
