    coincidence or correlation... Do you think the 2010 Olmpics in Vancouver Whistler has had any impact on housing prices?

    I can't believe the housing market! it's so hard to find a reasonable rent now in Vernon, I used to pay $700 for a 2 bedroom basement suite with all utilities included and then I was evicted by the new owner so he could make more money. Everything I've looked at is $900 and over, my income hasn't gone up by this much.

    I saw on TV last night the government has a new grant program for housing, gee do you think the Olympics has driven the rental housing prices too high?! I'm not sure ;) it could just be a typical movement in the market without explanation haha it's a movement all right, a big movement of B.S.!

    the olympics will do two things:
    A) SHORT TERM: lots of rich business owners will profit like pirates, while joe and jane paycheck figure out how to withstand the financial punishment.
    B) LONG TERM: it will leave us with the decaying legacy of architectural monuments to the death of common sense, which the government (without the people's input) will feel obligated to upkeep, and therefore taxes will be raised again.

    But then Bob Marley says "have no fear of atomic energy [or other monstrous inventions] because none of them can stop the time".
