Holy shit. Something I actually agree with Benny on. Poor and desperate is not how I would describe immigrants. Ambitions and determined IS how I would. Been lucky enough to work with immigrants from all over the world and they are straight up my favorite people by far. So many people in this country bitch and moan about the shitty situation they find themselves in. Immigrants actually DO something about it.

From what I've seen Its not unusual for the folks who return to planting every year to be highly educated, I got one bud who got the education/ real job but quits to go back to contracting, they come back to planting cuz they like it, the good planters can make a bunch of money real fast and do something else go skiing or go to school, I got one buddy who goes on the road playing in a Juno award winning band at a high level

Does Canada even have any illegal immigrants? The nets tell me like 100k versus 10.7 million in the US, or about 3 % of the population. To me, this is the biggest reason for the political difference between US and Canada. They are Norway and we are Italy.

there are 10 times as many people in the USA
sure there are illegals but they all want to go to America, sometimes the only reason they come to Canada is to get to America, the only border we need to worry about is with America, there is no country to the north which is so sparsely populated I think I would cross 1 highway if I booked straight for the narth pole form here
the 2 countries may look the same but the political difference is WAY more than that, even in the styles the USA is a democratic republic and Canada is a parliamentary democracyLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

My point is it is not surprising in Canada you have college grads doing manual labor ag work as a career where as in the US you have illegals. One has a difficult to control border, one doesn't. Just like Italy has a difficult to control border, Norway does not.

Most illiquid California RE, I suspect, along with traditional tax deferred savings.
My point was that, f I knew where I was today, scrounging around for affordable beds in ski country, I'd be much better off with a condo tourists and locals paid for. Which is how that squeaky clean couple is thinking about that basement apartment in Dillon I featured above, probably because Mom and Dad were so successful at that in the past thirty years. Except now they expect a lawyer or doctor to pay for it, instead of four dirtbags.

Yeah, that would suck big time. I have heard of a few folks who are building that told their contractors to stop construction after they poured the foundations. Can't delay too long if you are dealing with a construction loan though. But folks paying cash, can sit and wait to see how material pricing goes.

You have to smell it in order to make an offer....
https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/17/homes...ell/index.html
In this wild market, in which record low inventory and soaring demand is pushing home prices ever higher, you might expect that any old thing you put on the market would sell. Mimi Foster, a real estate agent with Falcon Property Company in Colorado Springs, Colorado, decided to put one home to the test.
She listed a five-bedroom home in the Broadmoor Bluffs Estates neighborhood for $590,000. That may sound like a steal, but buyer beware.
he home, which according to Foster is owned by an ailing seller who lives out of state, was rented to a tenant who lived there for a decade. It was managed for some time by a property management company, she said. When the tenant was evicted in the fall of 2019 for not paying rent, she was allowed to return to collect some of her possessions, according to Foster, but instead trashed the place.
Black spray paint covers every fixture, floor covering and surface, said Foster. Even more daunting, Foster said: the freezer in the basement that's full of meat and hasn't had electricity for over a year.
But, Foster said, she's only accepting offers from buyers who visited the property -- because of the smell.
"I'm not allowing sight-unseen offers," she said. When an agent called to let her know she was sending over an offer from a Denver-based investor for $625,000, Foster said she told her: "I'm sorry. You have to come and smell it first.""We don't beat the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living fully." - Randy Pausch

After watching Lt. Joe Kenda, I'd never live in Colorado Springs. Sounds like Albuquerque.
