@d_demelis Walk around the villages and towns in Western Europe. How many dwelling units exist behind the main door? Their society learned to share the urban land a long time ago. Result. Beautiful countrysides. They seem happy. I love those places

[W Dave Watt @WDaveWatt1]

@d_demelis A positive is that some are able to be housed. Two sides minimum to everything.

@EastVanBuilder @KenSimCity @LennyNanZhou @BrianVMontague @LisaDominato @PeterMeiszner @PtFry @christineeboyle @sarahkirby_yung @AdrianeCarr @rebeccaleebligh @MikeKlassen Not looking for a fix for everything. I simply believe competition causes others to look for efficiency. If we could speed up the process in any meaningful way, I think the consumer is better served. We have a housing crisis folks, and many reports speak of red tape

@EastVanBuilder @KenSimCity @LennyNanZhou @BrianVMontague @LisaDominato @PeterMeiszner @PtFry @christineeboyle @sarahkirby_yung @AdrianeCarr @rebeccaleebligh @MikeKlassen One possible solution. Independent permit issuing company. Consumer pays for expidited service. Company employs only professional Engineers, Architects. Etc. No reason this service can not be contracted out. Too much business? Hire more staff.

@davemccr @keithbaldrey During those 5 years of pursuing that teacher’s certificate, did they not take a look at the compensation? I know many who work as much overtime that is offered, or a second job. Sounds like contract negotiation whining to me.

@RE_MarketWatch I would bet that this situation was not the first time the parents tried to hard. Let the mortgage go into arrears. Force a sale and register the 40K against the equity.

@xj6response @MPelletierCIO Spec builders build big space. Expensive parts (price per sq ft) kitchen, bathrooms. Bedrooms, bigger living space low cost. Buyers take average psf cost in bigger lower than smaller. You have to build smaller custom. In the end, you will move but no savings

[W Dave Watt @WDaveWatt1]

@marchaslam1 @jodyvance @LisaMarieBoothe You’re not suggesting that JT judt likes the podium time are you

[W Dave Watt @WDaveWatt1]

@jodyvance @LisaMarieBoothe Criminals and guns. Big issue. However, if going foward, our new laws around guns means law abiding folks won’t have guns around, maybe our future citizens will enjoy a society that abhors guns. I remain hopeful.

@RE_MarketWatch Article to be written. City dwellers swoop in, inflating prices in small town Canada. Many tired of commute. Returning to big city, leaving locals with an overpriced town.

@Anthony92052760 @NewsLambert History shows borrowing rates rise at a faster rate than they do when they fall. The reverse is true for GIC return rates

[W Dave Watt @WDaveWatt1]

@FrankfortReport Already done . GIC for 1 yr. Return of our money more important than return on it

@brettdrc This seems a growing trend. Maybe manufactured housing might be the future for many. Factory controlled quality.

@michellecyca Surrey has some

@SteveSaretsky Cost to build a new car. What part(s) are cheaper. Manufacturers might reduce profit margins to even no profit to simply retain market share. They will focus on those who will still buy instead of those who could only make payments
