COVID and the housing market

3" EMT........Christ are you planning on putting in a new 350A service in your house? You can run 96 x #14 wires in a 3" conduit (before de-rating). Just make sure you use EMT and not PVC in your house as an inspector will fail your inspection (if you have an open permit).

I just ran a string up my pipe chase to get to the second floor - never used it in 15 years. When running underground to out buildings I always recommend running an extra 1" conduit for just in case, but truthfully so many things are controlled wirelessly now (security and lighting control) the only other thing one might need something is for a hot tub or as EVSE close to an out building
a 3” conduit gives you room for more than electrical wire, and it’s very easy to fish.

I’ve only taken advantage of my pre installed conduits a couple of times. i used the conduit to my detached garage for a hot water recirculating line, an intercom to the house and ethernet cable.

In my sons house, we used it to run a 60amp line and a cold water fill line from his mechanical room to a hot tub behind the house.

Never had issues with pvc electrical conduit inside a house. You can’t use drain line pvc, or abs, but I’ve never been failed on electrical conduit inside.
 
I know nothing but a sixty amp power feed and a water line in the same conduit would keep me up at night .

How is the housing market affecting the investment market? People not in the housing squeeze shouldn't be affected but but those tied into a nearing pre-build closing aren't likely to be topping up any plans.

Are the investment gurus taking a hit with new money?

Is anyone not afraid of domino effects?
 
In the late 90s Brampton mirrored Markham demographically and socially - about 15% of the population were visible minorities. In 40 years that has inverted, with about 81% visible minority today.

In the 80s, Brampton and Markham were largely rural and suburban communities with a mostly European population.

Markham became Canada’s largest Chinese municipality, and Brampton one of the largest south East Asian communities.

Both had massive demographic changes, one community did it well, the other…. Not so much.

I think that has more to do with the type of people that migrated into these communities rather than the migration itself - ability to assimilate, adapt a skill, or trade and become gainfully employed, and avoidance of illegal activities.

It's not the 'ability' to XYZ. It's the 'willingness' to do so.

Many new immigrants, regardless of where they're from, will just outright refuse to integrate and assimilate.

Plenty of Polish, Italian, Portuguese, etc etc that have lived here for 20-30-40 years and still don't bother with English because they surround themselves with their original local communities.
