Fair enough. I was just trying to think of something that could go in with very few incentives.

I think Calgary is ripe for people to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are plenty of people that have saved up more money than the average Canadian and think they got there because they are smarter than they are lucky.

I would love to know more about who bought in to this, and why thought it would be a good idea.

Maybe it will take longer than I think, but I am still convinced that someone will buy low and find a way to make money on this. And it probably won't be the people buying now, but people buying in a couple years from the people that are trying to scoop up the "deals" today.
