downtownlandlord, I can only assume you are commenting to me. No nwhere did I mention cutting a home into 7 units, 3,000sq ft or otherwise. But, I can show you some 6's in probably only 2,000sq ft.
I know many of those Toronto neighbourhoods where homes are split into multiple units, and comparing Hamilton to Toronto is an apples & oranges comparison. I'm not so naive to think they are all different, but the people in the Beaches, Danforth, Trinity Bellwoods, Annex, College Street, etc areas of Toronto living in multi-unit homes, aren't the same as the people living on Stinson, Delaware, Barnesdale, Gibson of Hamilton.
jonathan, Every time they close a school in Ward 3 they use declining enrollment as the reason to start the review. I'm confident money ties in closely, but if all the schools were at 80% or greater attendance we wouldn't be seeing them closing. You can read that even last week here; http://www.thespec.com/news/local/article/520128--school-board-recommends-closing-king-george
Rewarding people who break the law is wrong, period. What example does that set and where do you draw the line? Do you turn a blind eye to all those building permits not taken out? Do you ignore the plumbing and electrical inspections not completed? Can't do those properly after the construction is complete? Does everyone who paid for permits, paid for zoning, did things by the law learn they should have just cheated?
If so, I guess the you believe that good guys do finish last. Not a city, or society, I want to live in. I aspire to something greater.
