Condos and more condos are the story in Surrey and most of them will be finished in the next 12 months. Crazy!

Government and quasi government projects represent $800 Million in expenditures.

mohican said...

Whalley condo projects represent more than half the total construction spending in Surrey at the moment with 3 projects over $500 Million.

Congrats on the big time CR hit!!!!! You deserve it!

Warren said...

From a budgeting perspective, when do these big expenditures hit the government financial statements? Are they accounted for as soon as they are announced (funds set aside), or as they complete?

Obviously the province can't keep spending like drunken sailors, but if the economy slows in the next few years, will we be bleeding red paying for this stuff?

Mohican asks

"What happens when the projects finish, all the money is spent and the workers go home?"

The brainwashed will say that with India and China creating insatiable demand for our natural resources, our economy will do just fine.

But as far as I can see exports to both of those countries don't amount to a hill of beans.

From what I can tell exports to China in 07 were less than 10 billion and to India less than 3 billion.

We have a trade deficit with both.

TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK

Citation on Calculated Risk for mohican. Way to go!

Crabman said...

Great work Mohican! Interesting that all 6 data points on CR's graph above 7 months were correlated with price drops. But it looks like the magic MOI number for Vancouver could be a bit lower?

Gabriel said...

Tulip to be fair you don't need direct exporting from BC or Canada for that matter when it comes to resources. Since, metal prices and oil is set by international prices for the most part.

So, the idea would be if they're insatiable demand keeps going, the value of those commodities will rise, even if we don't ship it to there.

With that said, Construction and Olympic projects make up much more of the bulk of spending in Vancouver. If real estate falls tax revenue too...

Wow, high rise suburban slums just like Paris! Who says we're not world class!

Congrats on the CR appearance Mohican.
