Large generators get paid wholesale prices and have to deal directly with the market (which means they occasionally sell electricity for $0, or pay someone to take it).

There are prices below 20 per Megawatt-hour here right now http://www.pjm.com/about-pjm/learning-center/price-ticker.as...

That's less than $0.02 per kw-h. As the amount of solar installed increases, that will be $0 on cooler sunny days that don't create a lot of demand for cooling.

I was commenting on the methodology as I heard and watched it explained by the author (Robert C Martin), as well as the way it was presented in his videos.

TDD workflow is fine; it's not thinking about the pink elephant (the source code) idea that bugs me.
It's not really as black and white as that. If a city, such as Vancouver, is suffering from large economic and social problems caused by foreign investors sitting on prime real estate then you have to eventually do something about it for the sake of everyone actually living in the city.

The city is for living in, else it's a dying city. This step taken by the city of Vancouver isn't reactive, the problem has been propagating for 15+ years and has started to have a very large negative impact on the people who want to live there.

I myself, and many others that I know, have moved away from Vancouver or are planning to exit because they can't find or can't afford accommodation. It's not like SF where huge salary and booming business jacks up the prices. Vancouver is just a regular city.
You should always ask for a copy of the HOA bylaws before buying a condo. You might prefer to pay extra to discourage empty investors, and that could certainly be written in. Even without that, you might also ask how many of the other buyers are pure investors or otherwise ask people how they like it there.

Though, it seems like a condominium complex that is 50% empty would give you a greater density of neighbors than a SFH suburb that is 50% empty. And you can get the Chinese to pay for your new roof, to boot.

Somehow I doubt even the Chinese have enough money to turn a high-density city into a scene from 28 Days Later, though.

I consider myself to be very liberal, and I live in New York, and I find that message to be gross as hell. I dislike everything Trump stands for, but I would likely quit if our CEO sent us an email like that.

I'm sure the CEO meant it to be an affirmation of the values that I hold myself to, but it reads more like a specifically political anti-Trump screed.
I think DD must be right, because there are funds like IYR (I don't know about Canadian equivalents) that would be a much less expensive way to get the same real estate market exposure, so the question is why isn't the money going there?
Which is one reason why condo ownership is so ubiquitous there.
Maybe I misunderstand the taxation that BC is applying, but why should 'passive income' be taxed or treated any different to regular income for taxation purposes.

i.e if I earn $100 by working at a job, and $100 through renting out a property, shouldn't I be taxed the same as if I earn $200 through my job instead?

Here's some math that should make this make sense to non-Vancouverites:

A 1200sqft bungalow across the street from me sold for $2.8mm four months ago; it's now back on the market for $3.2mm. If you put 20% down, that'd be a monthly mortgage payment of $11,500. That's 1/6th of the average Vancouver family's annual income, per month!

I have a feeling that if you're paying $11,500 a month on your mortgage, you're not worried about 1% of the value of your house, and you're definitely not worried about renting it out at a profit. You're just hoping it keeps appreciating enough to pay for interest and this new piddly 1% tax.

That's who this tax is targeting. And I welcome it wholeheartedly.

I would be careful about sharing opinions like this on HN. The Politically Correct crowd on HN will tell you to "stop being a hater"and that you need to demonstrate hopeless optimism and positivity or you can excuse yourself from all discussion.

There is no room in modern discourse for criticism - not when peoples' feelings are at stake.
This isn't about a house in the woods; this is about homes in a deeply urban environment which have surrounding services and businesses that are reliant on local residents; and public services supporting both the residents and businesses that are reliant on the active use and fees/taxes generated to sustain.

Empty homes attract crime, necessitating more policing resources, empty homes do not support local businesses but drive up prices, making the area less affordable for residents and less lucrative for businesses.

The 'payment' for living in an urban environment goes beyond just the normal local taxes, it involves a participation because the resident who lives in a home in that environment contributes to the environment.

No house is an island in an urban environment (except maybe in Venice).
Fair points all around. Thanks!

The burden is lack of housing and therefore skyrocketing housing costs, what are you talking about?
What do you mean by that? Looks like very in-theme 80s American ID work. The materials, textures, and forms all speak a pretty clear lineage of western design at the time. This work was done by Frog, a well respected design consultancy and I believe this work was done by their US offices, but it could have been done by their Europe branch (I am not sure, it seems like others in the thread have more knowledge on this).

But if your concept of 80s design is more in line with the work done in the Memphis movement, I totally get why you would see these as outliers to 80s industrial design!
>there are a million reasons why you might need to leave your house for 6 months or longer //

Could you give a few examples? I know some rich middle-class (UK) people who have left their home for a couple of months whilst they've had renovations. And I know a few people, again pretty well off, that have travelled extensively abroad or lived abroad and rented out. Beyond that though?

I do think they should adjust to allow small-scale local-owner rental.

>Policies like this make it crystal clear; you own nothing, even owners are renters [...] //

I think they make it clear that peoples housing needs are being preferred over rich peoples right to profit from those same housing needs.
There's clearly a limit though. We impose laws on all sorts of things that impose negative externalities on society.

Then I wouldn't sign those contracts or I would not move into their properties. I'd move to the outskirts of their neighborhood and build there.

Governments have a perceives authority to enforce their regulations on everyone. No one perceives Joe-blow as having the same power. It is because of this that society can keep people in check when these situations arise but no one can control the government as they are presumed to have abilities ordained allowing them to (unfairly) arbitrate these situations.

There are lot of rich Chinese people. A friend of mine in a Vancouver suburb sold their place three months ago to a buyer from China who paid cash and who left the house empty. That's a fact. Another story I heard which may or may not be fact :) but I tend to trust is that someone came in to a local insurance office to insure 30 houses they owned. Houses in the Vancouver suburb I live in went from about 700K to 1.4M in two years in direct correlation with the arrival of foreign buyers. Some of those actually do live in those houses but a lot of houses are left empty.

China owns $1.25 trillion of US debt. I think this gives a window into the amount of money sitting there. That's a million $1M houses. Vancouver has 47K houses...

Not since the 8th, though.
So your definition of the global elite is that they avoid tax. Other people would say that they earn over a certain amount, or that they are sneering metropolitans, or that they don't have a home country, or that they own too many houses, or that they make their money from the wrong thing. Most of those definitions would fit Donald Trump or Nigel Farage for example, but of course they are not part of the global elite for many.

That's the problem with this sort of term; it is inflated with so many contradictory meanings by so many people it becomes meaningless.
Open Source?
Such stories would not go viral.
The sooner some of you guys get the idea that you own nothing, the sooner NA will become a better society. Living inside a society means your rights are not granted by the god or by nature, it is granted by other people around you, by the society. The right and law of ownership is the same. It is merely a consensus how the society distributes its wealth.

The issue you described doesn't really exist in Vancouver, where it has one of the lowest vancancy rate in the world (0.6 percent), it's a seller market and rent is high enough comparing to local income/maintenance cost.

BTW, Switzerland has the lowest house ownership in Europe according to [1]

Renters are a net drain on any city. It's always a smart move to incentivize ownership.

Making rentals more expensive pulls in more Federal money in low income property and encourages purchases by middle class families.

Also, how were you able to get tested?

Sorry for bombing you with questions, but I'm just genuinely curious as I've wanted to get tested but my primary physician instantly dismissed it and made me feel like I was suggesting voodoo rituals.
Is this supposed to sound like a lot? My house is taxed at about 1% annually and that seems normalish.
> A city should be happy to have the tax revenue with none of the burden.

This is true. The city (actually province & city) receive the tax revenue.

Unfortunately, rental stocks are so low in Vancouver that it's very difficult to find a place to live among all the (apparently) empty condos and houses owned by people who don't live here. The average house price is $1.4 M. A small 2 bedroom condo will still set you back half that. Thus, the pressure is on the rental market and finding/encouraging a larger rental supply.

So while the government is fairly paid by absentee home owners, there is an argument that the government should be doing something for its resident citizens.

It's an experiment. Much like our recent 15% foreign buyers tax reported a few months ago. We're all watching the experiment. Perhaps our role is to serve as a lesson to other cities? :-)
Sounds like all you need is a primary address exemption. IE, a property needs an associated primary addressee, rather than occupancy. You would not be able to claim a primary address for your second or third home, so if it goes unused it can then be taxed.
Interestingly California has a homestead exemption but it's a joke (capped at $70).

> If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here.

That is clearly stating that if you have an ideological disagreement hand in your resignation. Contradicting the claim he supports 'ideological inclusion and tolerance' in the preceding paragraph.

Nowhere in the text does the term 'hate speech' come up. He does make a reference to demeaning behaviour. That could easily mean ideological disagreement. If you find someones views on H1B visas demeaning they should hand in there resignation.

Also he states,

> we do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team.

Again he states there is no tolerance for attitudes he may disagree with. Attitudes are simply ideas informed by ideology. What constitutes a hateful attitude could be any political disagreement of principle. Including voting for Trump.

This seems like a fairly pointed address to Trump voters that they should hand in there resignation.

I don't know why the BC government makes this distinction, but it does. The $100 from working at your job is taxed at a lower rate than the $100 from renting out a property, though I should add that there are various schemes to avoid paying the 'passive income' tax.
Well, it makes sense now why Trump said he wants to streamline the immigration process.

Another thing though is, the United States can not save everyone. In this case, Mexico will have to negotiate with Trump, if they want to send their people to the United States.

Maybe Mexico can even agree to build a wall, in return for Green Cards...
You say it's not enough, but doesn't it just need to be enough to make real estate underperforming compared to other asset investement opportunities? Even during good times, home appreciation isn't much more than 3-5%. Taxing that by a percent makes even money market accounts look palatable.
