“I have a relative that said that she and her husband would ‘buy their dream house’ when their east Vancouver shack, for which they paid $750K, “doubles or triples in value over the next few years”. She’s a high school teacher; he works in sales.
Such stupidity should not be rewarded.”

I like it how she used her 50/50. In her defense, maybe she’s thinking football quarterbacks.
Pity the stupid. I hope you told her what’s what. Did she change her plan?
‘professionalbroker’ has likely posted the above comment less out of interest in participating in the discussion, and more as an attempt to get traffic to his realtor business in Las Vegas.
Normally we’d simply trash these posts but we’re leaving this one up because:
1 – Realtors in Vegas need all the help they can get, and
2 – the link contains a very cute chart of the Case-Shiller for the Las Vegas boom and bust, breathtaking, actually:

I hope she’s not a math teacher…
Haha, great pic!
I wouldn’t be surprised if she is a math teacher!
You know what’s funny…. I asked my other half the same question and she said the Elephant also…. then I asked her to explain her reasoning … (and in a strange way it made sense) She said “when you look at the moon it looks small and you think large in elephant size”… might be a woman’s thing…. then she added “i figured it was some sort of trick question”. go figure.
I can understand if it was a salesman’s thinking but TEACHER ? Folks in sales are programmed to think positively.
