My parents said that one of their neighbours was literally renting out a garden shed a couple of years ago until someone called the city to complain.

It was one of those sheds that looks like a tiny house and they insulated it and ran water, power, and a sewer line to it.

It was something like this: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/cedarshed-bunkhouse-12x12-cedar-shed/1001553867

There are already tons of extremely illegal basement apartments advertised for rent around here, can't wait for the extremely illegal garden shed homes to pop up on cajiji or wherever.

I mean setting aside it's hard to have kids in a bachelor apartment, a ton of landlords wont rent to you if you have children or are visibly pregnant.

Politicians love laneway homes because it looks like you're creating badly needed new housing for renters, but more importantly, what you're really doing is giving established home owners a big rear end new revenue stream that ensures they can take out even bigger HELOCs than ever.

The problem with simply building badly needed apartments is only renters benefit and established wealth doesn't. That's no good.

"Laneway home" is a new one to me, it seems they're just referring to easements, which in a carless world would be fine, but good luck if you're dependent on squeezing past your neighbour's lifted F-950

But those “X 1/2” addresses are so twee and instagramable! Think of the Kinfolk crowd, and Toronto Life and cute Tiny Homes! Wouldn’t they look great with bare pastel walls, string lights and plants? Minimalism is very popular with Millennials who want Authenticity.

I voted for Rana during the early voting just because she was the only one willing to say "Can we try paying the police less?" before I voted. Sure it's throwing my vote away, but I get to be a smug rear end in a top hat about protest voting without actually spoiling a ballot.

This - Bokhari was the least objectionable candidate but lmao at anyone thinking that Murray would actually beat Gillingham.

The media has been making GBS threads on Murray for the last 2+ months - similar to Judy Wasylicia-Leis in the 2014 election, which resulted in the center-right candidate getting in instead and - shocker - the centre-right candidate won again tonight

The purpose of a campaign is to convince people to vote for you and Judy didn't do that. She had a baked-in level of support but gave no reason as to why anyone else should have voted for her. I was wary of Bowman from the sheer number of conservative endorsements he received but was glad when he immediately tacked centre with his bland, logic-based philosopher king style of governance.

It was very unseemly how Bartley Kives et al just attacked Murray while saying gently caress all about Kevin Klein and his long, unhealthy relationship with Peter Nygard 👀 What's the matter, Bart? Did the Super Slider Snow Skate fortune finally dry up?

Bokhari and RFO to me are inscrutable at this point. It's one thing to be a career politician, and another thing to want to be a career politician and throw your hat into literally any ring. Recall that Bokhari led the MB Liberals, a party that has no reason to exist- meanwhile RFO has had many chances to prove himself and has whiffed all of them, which is impressive in its own right. I think I saw one sign for him this entire election.

Crime is getting worse and while more police aren't the answer, the touted alternative is "never arrest anyone for anything ever because the arrest itself, not the crime, represents failure in our system and causes harm to the arrested" :kiddo: Okay. More cops, please!

a lot of the ones in Toronto are way too short it’s insane, I saw one basement apt that had a ceiling clearance of maybe 5’10 max and 5’8 in the shower and the landlord was still trying to sell me on it (I’m 6’1). should be illegal

Every basement I've lived in has flooded. Granted that also happened to me in a 17th floor apartment when the building cladding failed in a "once in a lifetime" rain storm but I think I'll stick to apartments. I also kinda like having natural light and some separation from my landlord.
