Haha yeah this! I lived in a HOA and we had to fight over petty details! I moved out as soon as I could! We should have broken down the HOA instead.
The leader of the council had a very small backyard and almost convinced everyone to ban patios and sheds because he didn't have enough room for either... 😑
Yeah, it's challenging... I've seen hostile promoters creating undesirable "condos" just to squeeze out as much profit as they can from a lot, for example by removing all the greenspace and putting parking lots.
How do you propose to manage preservation/improvement of green cities when promoters try to cram as many units as possible in a tiny land?
I want to increase housing density, but not by forcing everyone to live in "Judge Dredd" tenements everywhere...
Great idea! I don't think anybody has a problem with the fact that a building houses more than one family... The troubles begin when a castle tower pops up next to their pool!
How would you manage car traffic in a neighborhood that is slowly converted to houses 3 or 4 times as many families with as many cars?
As much as I believe we need more good multi-plexes, the article makes it look like it's evil not to allow promoters to replace single-family houses by massive skyscrapers of 12+ units on a land that is surrounded by single family homes.
We don't want to replace houses by cheap tenement buildings, we need a more elegant densification where each unit has at least land for a small garden.
Some say "get paid less and be way happier", but I think it's a bit misleading.
When working in Canada, for a company rules by canadian labour laws (health insurance and what not), your actual cost of living is quite proportional to the salary cut.
I'd say "get paid proportional to the cost of living, and be way happier".
Of course, the best scenario is living in Canada and getting a US salary! 😎
We recently went for a picnic in a park (obviously with alcohol), and we ended up sharing extra cake with strangers at the skate park, and my nurse friend helped an injured kid.
Not sure whether it was legal to drink at the park, but we definitely made a positive social impact just by being there instead of a private backyard.
It's possible to flag an account you own as being a bot. A bot account that doesn't enable this flag is suspicious in my view, but clearly marked bots should be ok
Not a trap, an enlightenment!
I don't have a hat like this one but at some point you realize that life is a jungle. Better consider it a safari and enjoy!

Has some rules been changed by the CRTC to explain this behaviour change?
