Does anyone have any info on Halifax? There is a lot of development off the peninsula going on in anticipation of a massive job surge because of the shipbuilding contract. I'm really worried about this because: 1. the only way to get downtown is by car, really, and traffic and congestion in Halifax is already pretty loving bad 2. this province has a bizarre obsession with the whole "If you build it, they will come" thing. The 200 million dollar convention centre they're building is going to sit next to one that's got a 33% usage rate.

Qualified tradesmen and builders do not suddenly exist out of thin air.

Albino Squirrel posted:Case in point of how Vancouver has priced itself out of reality: I graduated med school in 2006 and residency in 2008, both in Edmonton. I had always wanted to live in Vancouver or Toronto, as I'm much more... socialist... than the average person here in Alberta. The reason I wanted to live in either of those places (or Montreal, but that's a hostile environment for family docs) is that I prefer a low-commute urban lifestyle to living out in the burbs. I also prefer older neighbourhoods, most of which have heritage/character homes in them. Just out of curiosity, what district in Edmonton did you end up in? I've been pretty averse to moving out there even though it's the "Promised Land" for my field. Part of it has been politics, but another part of it has to do with racism. I'm not really sure how they treat black people out there; in rural Nova Scotia they seem to see them primarily as farm workers and as a nuisance.

etalian posted:Off-topic but you can look up a interesting solution called the Vienna model for housing. While this is impossible in most Canadian cities, from first glance this seems to be very, very possible in Halifax. Mostly because there are no actual tenants besides the big entertainment complexes/cabaret bars really left in the downtown area. I rarely like the idea of private-public partnerships but this actually seems like a very good way to take care of two problems at once.

I've got a good bit of cash in the bank and I'm just itching to pull the trigger (probably a detached $180K-200K house in spryfield or dartmouth). Halifax, outside of the obvious areas, seems to still be a great place to buy a home. Housing prices in Dartmouth, Cole Harbour, etc. don't seem to be too affected by the hype. Condo prices downtown and anywhere they can lure foreign student investment money is a shitshow. The NDP right now is promising some sort of tax rebate for "young families" who buy a home. This sounds great until you realize that there aren't that many people for whom that would help with buying a home (i.e. if your combined family income is ~40k, making the interest on the mortgage tax refundable isn't going to make you buy a home)

You can always tell who went to KES or the schools with "connections" though - they'll usually be a "Senior" despite having 5 years experience and really not being that good at anything. "Lower cost of living" doesn't mean poo poo when you're making ~1/2 of what you could in another province.

The highest rate in the Maritimes is in Nova Scotia where the highest bracket is 21% and only kicks in above $150k. Not that it invalidates the rest of your post - the only reason I'm not dreading moving back to PEI from Montreal is because I'll still be getting paid my Montreal salary, but paying PEI taxes and living costs. Yeah it's been a while since I lived there  that's far and away the worst rate in Canada, but you do seem to get some societal benefit from it. NS has basically replaced their personal welfare state with a corporate welfare state (we have a history of massive handouts to corporations that weren't really sustainable, and of giving money to people like the Irvings who reallly don't need any)

The building looks ugly but the main reason I hate it is that there seems to be no real attempt to integrate the building into the surrounding area at all. The developers here seem to think that all they need to do is build what they saw in Montreal or Toronto or whatever and suddenly we'll be a World Class City. It's the same thinking that has developers building $1600 dollar condos out in the burbs with swimming pools and movie theatres and wondering how comes they can't sell them.

This somewhat-old article in The Chronicle Herald is alleged to have been written by an independent seller, but given they just let the owner of an oil company write editorials criticising the province for banning fracking under her regular column without stating her interests I really doubt it. This has to be a developer. Otherwise we're all hosed. He basically believes that the Halifax housing market hasn't slowed down due to the simple fact that we have some of the worst wages and taxes in Canada but because of negativity about the housing market. He thinks "free market principles" should be allowed to reign in the housing market... and then calls for a government subsidy for purchasing houses (a writeoff of closing costs). He believes these same free market principles mean that, if there is an oversupply of houses, prices will lower but eventually demand will increase such that all the extra houses will be bought.

Professors are starting to squawk about having a ton of students that can't speak or write passable English despite acing the TOEFL, but the admissions departments smell money and are going full steam ahead recruiting students from China and Korea. It's annoying for the professors but deadly for the other students. Group projects in engineering become nightmares when half the group submits their portion via Google Translate. I know this from personal experience. For those who don't want to try, they can always claim that they didn't understand the plagiarism rules (even if, say, they copied entire sections word for word from Google results).

It's somewhat easy to tell that something odd is going on with commercial real estate in Halifax, I think. Our "main street" downtown is starting to become just as bad as Fredericton or Moncton. Lots and buildings have been sitting empty for a while now. They own the properties but no one's actually willing to pay for them because, due to our horrific urban design, no one can actually get to businesses downtown and not that many people actually live nearby. But don't worry, the new convention centre will save everyone! By taking up the entire heart of the downtown, closing down one of the few pedestrian friendly areas in the city, and blowing 150 million dollars from our road paving fund (and a healthy dose of federal government money)! (To be fair though, everyone who's been in Nova Scotia as an adult knows that "infrastructure fund" = political slush money)

OSI bean dip posted:Halifax strikes me as one of the weirdest places in Canada. Every time I have gone there I found myself liking the place but then wondered what the hell people did for work. A few shipyards, naval base, and an airport in the middle of nowhere does not make for a well economy. Then it's great that you haven't been to rural NS. The lucky parts are one-industry towns. The unlucky parts are straight out of the Rust Belt. Government grants crazy exemptions from environmental regulation and taxation to prevent whole towns from falling apart. Pictou got so bad recently that Paul Sobey himself was reduced to calling into CBC like an angry AM radio caller demanding the government enforce their own laws. It's a great source of cheap labour and smug "Albertans" though. The serious problem facing the Maritimes is demography. Few young people stay and have children. Of those, even fewer are able to find jobs out here (meaning that our investment in education is mostly going to other provinces). We basically only see people during the most expensive stages of their life, and the government doesn't really care about young voters at all. In the past year, they have planned to drop the tuition freeze and revoked $50 million in tax credits for new graduates. They know that anyone out here in that 25-34 bracket is either too hosed socioeconomically to vote or benefits from the status quo.

It's funny because, at least in Nova Scotia, this is another industry that receives huge handouts from the government, usually in the form of "training programs", all so the businesses get to pay less than minimum wage and have the government foot the bill. Except because it's tourism, you can just keep hiring "trainees" over and over and over again. Same thing in the service industry. I even know of an engineer that ended up used in this way and who probably turned down offers out west during the oil boom. So the film industry subsidy's best argument for it is that it might help support our other heavily subsidized industries. Got it. Anyone have any word on whether the rest of Laurel Broten's tax recommendations (cut all the tax benefits, eliminate the top tax bracket (which her and her husband are in), and hike the middle class tax) are gonna be used too?

And then a little later she spent nearly 20 minutes talking about how she was a struggling actress in Toronto and how she met a man who did female movie-star impersonations and how he studied with some great actresses in Hollywood and how he complimented her Marilyn Monroe impersonation and I was like "oh, yeah, this is why people are annoyed at the entertainment industry. This person should probably not hold political office." Lenore Zann? That sounds dumb, but please remember we once elected a 34-year old fiddle player and gym teacher as Premier of Nova Scotia. We also elected a guy who took a selfie with a blackface caricature (and then his party tweeted it from their official account). Maybe no one here is qualified to hold political office.
