@Sanghera__Aman Preach. Our beautiful and bountiful province has been profoundly mismanaged. It will get worse before it gets better.

@JasonBugra It can’t really “create”, rather rehash whatever it has ingested. I think there’s actually a lot of overlap here with human creativity. The fact remains though—AI is missing the chaotic spark of human creativity.

@BradWestPoCo Brad, really, you don’t have to sell me anymore. I’m already convinced.

Side note—when are you announcing your bid for premier?

[Realtor Braden 🏘️ @braden_leystra]

@BradWestPoCo Thank you for saying this! If you ever need a job, you’re welcome to come to Abbotsford.

BC hydro has changed the rules when it comes to home solar. It’s most unfortunate. The payback time has gone from about 8 years to 20 ish for me. Kinda kills the ROI for solar in BC.

I’ve been a huge advocate for solar. Probably not worth it now.

@BradWestPoCo Can you do Abbotsford next?

@DamirWallener @SteveSaretsky We need housing where you can raise a family. These are stepping stones at best. At worst, they’ll foment another generation with low family formation and forever-renters.

@SteveSaretsky I’ve been talking about this for a year or more now. The pace of construction in my hometown of these buildings is absurd.

[Realtor Braden 🏘️ @braden_leystra]

Here's the cruel reality of the real estate market right now:

Well-presented, realistically priced homes are selling fairly quickly, while anything even modestly overpriced stalls hard.

30% of listings sell within 14 days
40% sit 90+ days

@Sanghera__Aman You’re a brave guy 👏

@JasonBugra So it's basically just a fancy tax. This country is so cooked.

[Realtor Braden 🏘️ @braden_leystra]

BCREA expects prices to fall 1.4% across the province by year end...

And then a 2.9% increase by year end 2027.

Honestly, this could be a best-case scenario.

Purpose built rentals in metro Vancouver are taking 6-9 months to get half full.

3-6 months later they are down to 30-40% occupancy.

[Realtor Braden 🏘️ @braden_leystra]

@kbessey They're building these things like they're going out of style in Abbotsford. I have to assume they're having a tougher time with renting them out than in Metro Vancouver!

[Realtor Braden 🏘️ @braden_leystra]

Realtors: Prices have finally stabilized!

Everyone else: 👀

@MarcD63092 @CTVNews How much of an operating loss is too much—2 billion? 5 billion? 10 billion? Where do you draw the line? Every tax dollar put into Canada post is a dollar taken from somewhere else.

[Realtor Braden 🏘️ @braden_leystra]

@dumbwhitesmart @JacobStewart__ @CTVNews Sure, let’s agree it doesn’t need to turn a profit. Can it at least break even?

[Realtor Braden 🏘️ @braden_leystra]

@MarcD63092 @CTVNews I don’t think anyone cares if it turns a profit. Can it at least break even?
