Maybe we should zone part of kits for exclusive yoga accessory research to incentivize them to stay.

Leverage your way onto the property ladder by any means necessary!

They have a couple of other small non-retail store fronts placed sprinkled around town, but they look like they only have a couple of people in them. Like I am sure they have lots of employees, but 1200 seems like it just has to be including retail employees for their actual corporate footprint.

If they have the whole thing now then 100sqft/person is pretty reasonable I think. 10m2 is average for one-person closed offices. If they're open plan then in 70Ksqft things are still not oppressive.

But they have an air hockey table in the lunch room.

peter banana posted:The concept of "the cottage" just came up at work and I implied that maybe, just maybe no one needs to buy a cottage because it's unnecessarily expensive, of minimal benefit, that's what resorts and rentals are for and it's weird and pathetic to spend all of your holidays and weekends in the same podunk town on the same podunk lake. My coworker (who often talks about how much she dislike her kids, apropos of nothing, but in fairness that's all of my coworkers) said that I would have to tell that to "her son's vanity," as he "often ask when they are getting their cottage." And therefore she is seriously considering buying one "as an investment." I feel the exact same way about cars, no one in Toronto needs a car. I used to be alone with this opinion but I think more people are seeing the light since ride sharing has become so popular.

I was under the impression that Lululemon was dying anyway. They seem to have taken the "gently caress what our customers want" approach and started selling what they want people to buy instead of what their customers actually want, and people are finding alternatives.

Lots of people my age who grew up in the city don't even have their driver's license so I think you're right.

Before leaving Ontario I'd basically given up on visiting my family up north on regular long weekends because I wouldn't be able to show up until well after midnight thanks to the terrible traffic between Toronto and Barrie. Now that it's officially a bedroom community for Toronto I can't imagine how horrific it is now.

On the Canada Day long weekend they estimated that there was well over 1 million individual vehicles that traveled up the 400 between Toronto and Barrie. And that was just the Friday traffic! I seriously cant wait for this cottage fad to die off.

Furnaceface posted:Meanwhile, back in Ontario... quote:A new study by Moody’s Analytics predicts Barrie will soon become the top performing housing market in Canada. The study suggests housing prices in Barrie will go up by 8 per cent every year over the next five years. Nah. Maybe based on housing bubble stats but that's already cooling off with the new regulations. My neighbours in Collingwood bought for $1M a few months ago and their parents just bought too and there was already a drop in prices. They'll lose value on their houses, but they're not using them as investments, so they don't care. It's over here. It's done. Just ride it out.
