Calgary Is North America’s Most Affordable Major Housing Market, No Rental Controls – March 29, 2019,

Now, the article I’ll be pointing too, I consider rather socialists, if someone were to ask me what I think of the HuffingtonPost, I’d say the Huffington Post has a lot of people working for them who promote the NDP. So whenever I read anything from them, I typically take what perceive to be their Political affiliations into account.

What’s that you say? That’s commercial space, you say, well if I build a house in the middle of nowhere, or if I build a house or condo that isn’t close to any jobs, will that home or condo appreciate in value? Calgary is a Canadian city that is anticipating growth, I wouldn’t call it so much a central planning idea, it’s more like an unsophisticated investor scheme. On the surface, Alberta economically as a whole is the best place in Canada to live, but here’s the thing Leftist don’t tell you about Albertans, they’re hardworking people, living in Alberta isn’t a walk in the park, especially if you’re an entitled Leftist. So what often happens when most people go to Alberta is that they’re faced with the reality that if they don’t work hard, the free market will eat them alive.

This is why places like Ontario attract so many economic parasites. Oddly enough, Residents of Montreal and Ottawa made the list of Most Affordable Major Housing Markets. Have you ever been to Ottawa? Government job here, Government job there, a lot of people in Ottawa work for the Government, if you were to ask me if Ottawa or Montreal’s population would be able to survive in Calgary, I’d say no! If you visit all three cities, you’ll notice obvious differences in the attitudes of the people. Montrealers and people residing in Ottawa would probably make it their mission to shut down the oil sands and everything related to oil, and then they’d try and replace those hard to do jobs with soft cushy Government jobs.

Now I get it, Alberta isn’t perfect, their economy has issues, but I don’t think Canadians understand how reliant we are on Alberta. When you’re competent and educated about how the free market operates, which many Albertans are, I’m sure on a per-capita basis Alberta’s know more about the Free Market than does the rest of the Canadian provinces. To be educated on Freedom and Free markets, changes are persons entire attitude and perspective on life, it also rewires your brain, as you’ll stop looking at yourself as a victim and instead prepare for the worst case scenarios.

Leftist prefer wrapping themselves in the robe of victimhood and entitlements, which is why they’re often looking to consolidate things like economics, power, social justice. For the Political Left, if they can make the subjective a Law that favors them personally, that’s what cause or causes they’ll spend the most time fighting for. Now, what should spook people out the most about why Calgary is the Most Affordable Major Housing Market is the reasoning behind it.

The people of Calgary have a higher income, that comes primarily from the Private sector and because there are fewer regulations in Calgary’s housing markets prices are forced down, whereas places like Vancouver and Toronto have their prices forced up. One thing, that I have to add regarding Toronto’s housing market and prices, is that Toronto has never had a housing problem, it still doesn’t most major cities don’t have housing shortages, the problem always revolves around rental controls. The moment you create rental controls, landlords and rental housing developers immediately start to fight to house the best tenants. Why? Because of maintenance costs, the main reason rents go up has to do with the tenants, most so-called poor tenants, destroy property and pay their rent late.

Now, prior to the creation or concept of rent controls, the landlord would simply raise rents for compensation, the moment you create rental controls, you take that option away from the Landlord, so instead the Landlord has to then play the law of averages game and base his/her rental pricing on historical norms based on particular types of tenants(demographics). So all of sudden a person’s credit and job history becomes extremely important. I can’t speak for now, but in my teenage years, rooming housing was easy to rent, primarily because the government wasn’t involved. So often times you can live in a rooming house sometimes for $20 a week, sure the landlord could kick you out anytime they wanted too, but you as a renter you had the OPTION to simply move into another Rooming house, which were plentiful back then. I don’t know too much about rooming houses anymore, but being that Airbnb is a big thing right now, and it basically could be a basic rental or rooming house website for travelers, my guess is that the government sunk their claws into rooming housing also.

Demographically Alberta isn’t for everyone, you’ll meet some hard men and women out there, who quite frankly don’t have time for the silly games, either you get it or you don’t. Now, of course, because a lot of people from have not provinces go to Alberta to find work and some settle there, they do have some influence on how Albertans have been voting. I saw Alberta voting NDP because the prior Conservatives were trying to please everyone.

Alberta is Canada’s Texas and what’s starting to happen in Texas is that people from the Democrat shit hole known as Califonia are leaving the disaster they created in pursuit higher paying Texas jobs, the problem is that these people from California are taking their voting patterns with them. Normally a Republic stronghold almost went Democrat, a normally strong Conservative stronghold went to the NDP in Alberta. The problem with Leftism is that once people are infected by it, it’s hard to remind them that there used to be simpler freedom based ways of doing things.

Interesting times ahead
