That's because politicians have completely lost the plot. Spending without limit and raising income as necessary to support their largess. Trying to be everything for everyone means you fail at everything and bankrupt everyone. Role of government (at all levels) needs to be drastically reduced...

Partly true but also most jobs in cottage country do not support payments required for $1M+ homes even if you work full-time. While things have pulled back a bit, on-water properties less than $1M are probably the minority now and forever more. People that work in Toronto and make hundreds of...

We complain about foreign buyers, east coast complains about ontario buyers, cottage country complains about citiots. Same crap, different pile. Someone from elsewhere comes in with a warchest that dwarfs the locals and the locals have no ability to compete. Locals are pushed into the less...

What did they pay for it and when? Was 500 a reasonable price when listed? Comparing sold prices to list prices is crap imo. Most listings have stupid and unsupported list prices (many high, many low). Not that long ago, many parts of rural qc had five digit house prices.

I still have a few dos programs that were never updated. It's not worth the time and effort to modernize them as you can get them to run. Most of them were written by governments of the day.

Who is going to do this? Sadly, most things are driven by profit. Conceivably, a rich benefactor like Peter Thiel could finance such a venture to try to dethrone the incumbents.

@Wingboy is the most in tune with that group.

It is a lot of sq ft used up with minimal plus side. How the floors are tied in to chimney will be interesting. I cam think of a few solutions bridge the hole but I have no idea which is the best not which would cause me code issues. While I dislike that permits are used as a profit centre, I...

The upside for you is that doesn't matter. Aren't you in the last month of caring?

Your plan would involve breaking the leases. If we're already going to spend millions in court, we might as well break the leases and kick them all out. The prick plan would be to expand the airport and expropriate the houses for airport operations. As it would be TPA expropriating from the...

Imo, $1.5M for a detached lot in a private (essentially gated) enclave in Toronto is exceedingly low. They are small lots and house size is limited (currently) to 1500 sq ft or so. They could probably price them at $3-5M and sell out to rich people that want cottages close to home. That also...

They don't own the land. 1.5M for a small house on leased land is crazy expensive. No public land should have leases that long (including douggies spa boondoggle). While they have leases, nothing says the leases gives them more protection than other residents of the city. Live near the airport...

To avoid a lot of privacy issues, just have the terminal compare with the one on file for the dl and wanted list. It spits out match, no match or wanted (with more information on crime). Getting useful info out of the database would require fingerprint and DL so a random criminal (cop, cough)...

That idea is far too easy to implement and makes too much sense for it to ever be implemented by government.

It's only 700 km (800-100). Does that give you more confidence?

I'm not saying his cottage is guaranteed to be dirty. A net worth audit would shine light on politicians who were acquiring assets in a shady way. Knowing it was coming would be enough to clean up some of the graft. It's not that easy for a benefactor of your tax dollars to financially enrich...

Compost tomatoes? Sacrilege. Tomatoes become sauce with almost no effort.

Maybe they did? If the current one is better, what was happening seven years ago? I don't keep normally track of when things happened unless they make a difference to me.

Leaf has always been a turd. IIRC air-cooled battery. Those are much easier to hurt and I think are only in the Leaf and prius (not sure about other toyota products).

Douggie is bored of the vocal minority on the island and is trying to drive them out by ignoring their whining. We'll see what happens. Maybe the drone of planes will drown out their entitlement to strangle the city for their own subsidized paradise...
