However not very practical for the long distances between communities here in BC without a recharge. THat being said it would be a fantastic vehcle in cities and large towns. Either way its a step in the right direction and the cost can only go down once they're mass produced. Fantastic vehicle.

You clearly have your mind made up on a number of things. I disagree, but you are free to think how you like. And, yes I do tell client we have historically low interest rates and they will need to account for much higher interest rates in the future. I consider clients who have come under my care, well taken care of and prepared for the worst case situations, should they happen. Randy:

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 06:26:27 +0000 http://www.revelstokecurrent.com/?p=14874#comment-1662 Joel, your argument shows that real estate is a dreadful investment, long or short term. Take some simple numbers: $350,000 average home price, multiple of median-income to median home-price 2.5 times (has been actual North American average for 50 years, with the exception of 2004-2010), Revelstoke median family income $44,661 (2001 Census) (no, it has not increased, how’s your Latin? Service Jobs = Service = Serve = Servitude = Serf ...get it yet?). So based on historical averages, that $350,000 Revelstoke home will again trade at $111,000. The earning demographic is PRECISELY why Revelstoke (and elsewhere) is overpriced! Again this displays AVERAGES and does not take into account the likelihood that any number of events would send Revelstoke home prices significantly below the $111,000 average where real value is/should be today; eg. Interest rates rising above historical lows, Major industry closure, Gaglardi’s L.O.C. being called as Simpson’s was, global financial meltdown Etc. Etc. So you say, ‘short-term price fluctuations matter little to someone who plans to live a home for twenty-thirty years’. Tell that to CA,FL,AZ,NV,OH homeowners who are making monthlies on an asset worth 40% of what they paid...soul destroying! My parents had two careers in their lifetime, I’m at six and counting, my children... ? Overpriced real estate is completely illiquid in a world that is not static; who can say with even 80% probability that they will even be in Revelstoke 6 months from now? Your last argument is completely absurd; what guarantees are there that what I can ‘afford’ today, I will be able to tomorrow? You are basing ‘affordability’ on historically record-low interest rates, do you warn your marks that if rates climb 2 points, (still well below historical averages) their broke? If you do not you are void of a conscience...if you have not thought the above through...you have no place peddling something you don’t understand when you have a fiduciary responsibility to potential clients.
