We also have unprecedented immigration with no end in sight in fact, we are rapidly increasing it. As well, we are allowing more and more temporary foreign residents (students, TFWs, illegals, etc). We need drastically more supply.


The level of supply being made in Vancouver is also unprecedented. I can seriously not overstate this enough. Vancouver is not SF. It builds.

It's like drawing. Sure maybe with a lot of effort anybody could draw a close approximation of a good drawing but unless you are innately talented and driven you will never be at a good enough level to make a great career at it.


What tech titan is worse than Larry Ellison? I have a hard time thinking of any. He makes the Uber guy and the Snapchat dudes seem like mother teresa.


Well I am not a product (ad target) for Larry Ellison, but I am for Zukerberg and Brin.


Specifically, what's wrong with Ellison? Kalanick? and Spiegel?


Ellison lands his private jet during no-fly times and happily pays the fines while local neighborhoods have to take it.

Spiegel has a Steve Jobs painting/poster in his office and is REALLY touchy about it.

Kalanick has a whole "I'm going to squeeze every penny from this industry and call it a disruption" vibe.

Interesting, do you think the same impression migrated to Uber? Do you think they're 'squeez(ing) every penny from the industry'?
