manufacturing is in a decades long decline and our economic growth has been entirely dependant on resources for like the past 20 years so that argument is stupid

He bought that condo 10 years ago. I hope they're forced to settle out of court and buy his condo off of him at above current market value. Then the guy can move to a place that isn't loving insane.

This just reinforces the idea that you really don't ever own strata, your strata fee is just rent going to whatever group of busy-bodies has the most time on their hands.

If you have a normal council and reasonable owners, it is way better than a bad landlord. However if you get a couple of bad owners in the strata, it can be much much worse. I have already told the wife that this is the last place I am living with a strata. Now I just need the housing market to move into the realm of possibility. Having said that if you are a freehold owner you are also at the mercy of the biker gang or hoarder that lives next door, so it isn't exactly a panacea.

While in general I agree with these sentiments, in this specific case it makes no sense to say that strata is worse. Just try to find a landlord that will allow smoking. If you're in a condo, how do people know you're smoking, anyway? Is the air handling below standard or what? Positive pressure means that smells shouldn't be entering the hallway, and at least in Alberta, that's mandatory for condos. Honestly, if other people's smells, smoke-related or otherwise, were entering my condo, I'd be upset too.

Dude needs to pay to upgrade the ventilation system for his unit or building otherwise gently caress off with his toxic smoke if any other resident gets a whiff. Same thing for pets, you can have your pet when you sound proof your unit so your neglected un-walked dog's constant mournful howling doesn't ruin life for everyone else.

Big dogs aren't bad apartment dogs though? They don't need as much exercise as small/medium dogs and so they aren't prone to destroying apartments and spending all day barking like smaller dogs. It's the lady who keeps a terrier in her apartment and never lets it out that you get the real problems.

Some jerkwads on my floor just moved in and they have a yappy little piece of crap kick-toy dog, and it's the only dog I've ever had a problem with in the whole building. It always barks constantly when it's in the hallway. Why do people even buy a dog if they have no interest in training it properly? Couldn't they just volunteer at a shelter or whatever if they just want to see dogs?

Same thing for pets, you can have your pet when you sound proof your unit so your neglected un-walked dog's constant mournful howling doesn't ruin life for everyone else. I used to live right above a smoker and it was pretty awful, she would smoke on her balcony or inside her unit with the windows open and it would drift up through my balcony door, which I left open during most of the summer/a lot of the spring and fall. People that smoke in their units basically produce gigantic externalities for the rest of the building and should be fined repeatedly and immediately.

Maybe people would be less prone to smoke in their own houses (or on their own balconies) if there were other options available for smoking. Smokers basically have no options to smoke in a place that isn't their home anymore, even outside.

Smokers basically have no options to smoke in a place that isn't their home anymore, even outside. I mean, if you live in a detached home and aren't blowing the smoke directly into someone's backyard, then go for it (and even if you are it's unlikely that anyone can really do anything about it). But it doesn't work in an apartment/condo setting, and this is one of the few places where stratas can actually be useful.

Yes, we should make it easier for people to do this activity, and allow them to not only make themselves feel like poo poo, but others.
