The housing market will crumble in Alberta if something is not done to bring down the cost of Gas.
Alberta's economy depends on it.
Typical Albertan, say it enough times they start to believe it as truth.

If the cost of gas comes down, everyone here is fucked. We need high prices to make oil sands production profitable. If the price falls, then how will Syncrude pay people $80,000 a year to drive a truck?
When eastern Canada and the US fall deep into recession, who's going to buy our oil? There's no pipeline to the coast, so we can't sell it to Asia or Europe. So we'll be stuck with a glut and prices will fall. That's when all those tradespeople making $60 an hour will lose their jobs. Then how will they pay for their big screen TVs and giant pick-ups?
Everyone here seems to think the boom will last forever. It's funny, but only 20 years ago we had bumper stickers begging for another boom with a promise not to piss it away, yet here we are, spending every cent that comes in, and not saving anything.
:lol: Tritium ..that trailer you've been eying is almost within your grasp.
Well, when you decide to move out of your trailer home, I'll consider buying it.
The single family houses may have dropped into the shitter, but all those trades people building them haven't missed a days work. Now their working downtown on the 1000's of condo's being built. That story you posted last week Tritium about it only being down 10% was right, when you are looking at the big picture and not just the single family dwellings.
Thank God I'm looking into a condo in the SW.

So what is your point, you don't have wheels. You don't have much of a lawn either. The trailer park my friend lives at in Indianapolis, Indiana has a bigger yard than you as well as a 3 bedroom unit double wide.
He owns his and only pays $250 for the lot per month.
Your dam house is so close to the neighbor, you can hear each other fart in your sleep.
and another one 5 blocks away plus Fish CPark 6 blocks away...I have much better things to do than cut grass
wind surfing has been my choice of late
my walls are not made of paper and balsa wood like yours
Proves nothing, nice try.

The worst part about those houses so close together is if your neighbour's place catches fire, you're fucked. The very best you can hope for is only losing your plastic siding..but odds are your house is going to burn too.
I hate these shitty new sub-divisions with houses 6 feet apart...thank God I don't live in one.

Whats the matter do you want to contribute to urban sprawl, I thought you Liberals all hated that idea.
Mine is covered in brick and stucco (none of that cheap vinyl crap)and was built 15 years ago, there is at least 15 feet between the houses.
you can't afford one even if you wanted one
your 40 year mortgage can't be stretched any farther

Nice pics of your Mom's house! How big is your bedroom in the basement? Do you have worry she'll do laundry when your friends come over?
My 40 year mortgage is going great thank you. Last year, I was able to write off 50% of the interest I paid, as well as paying my condo down by more than $10,000 extra dollars last year (far more than I would have had I gotten a 25 year mortgage). I hope to buy another one next year if the prices keep falling.
The house I've got my eyes on is on Ada Boulevard here in Edmonton, with a stunning view of the river valley, was built about 40 years ago, but extensively remodelled in the mid-90s. Its owned by a friend's parents who are both UofA profs and plan on retiring in 2012...

a quote from your PM
"The house I'm buying in two months has a huge yard and sits about 25 feet from the nearest neigbour. Gotta love those big corner lots!
I take it your 40 year mortgage is stretched to the max
