    what to do with Broken Chattel, after closing on condo

    Sounds like a resale so probably no 30 day report. Check to see if the oven is still under warranty. I suspect replacing or fixing a hinge is relatively simple and inexpensive. probably not worth getting lawyers involved before finding out what the repair costs are. You could probably figure out...

    Adelaide and Richmond dead during rush hour

    took me 45 mins to drive from Adelaide / John to Adelaide / York today. Adelaide is ALWAYS gridlocked at rush hour between east of University! We should be making all of our downbtown core streets one way. right now after 9 am it's slow going with parked cars taking up two lanes and street...

    Please rate this Floor plan. Vu South Tower

    That's a massive bdrm for a 750 sq ft place and one of the better layouts I've seen at Vu. I disagree with the suggestion that you put a desk in your bdrm. IMO the bdrm should be your love nest and chill out place. Having a desk there suggests work and not love and relaxation. You have enough...

    Problems w/ buying *lowest* floor of a development?

    Also, vandalism, break ins (I'm not sure whether insurance will be higher as a result) and other undesirables in your "yard". For these reasons and others posted above you might not want to open your windows or curtains.

    Gap between the Rich and Poor

    Germany has unique industrial relations that would have significant influence on this. Unions work with company boards to determine wages. It would not work if the CEO's got huge amounts. I bet if you look at why this is there is a good market explanation. Supply and demand forces work at the...

    Gap between the Rich and Poor

    So GTA Inc., a local company founded by research scientists, has developed a cure for AIDs. Are you saying they should not sell their cure beyond the GTA? The other thing you don't get is that it costs money to bring an idea to market. If the CEO of GTA Inc. told potential investors that she...

    Gap between the Rich and Poor

    We're focusing on the gap between rich and poor. Statistics clearly show that people that go to university are relatively well off compared to the truly poor in this country - even philosophy majors. My undergrad is in Poli Sci by the way (another major that many people consider useless). I...

    Is "condo-sized" furniture necessary for condo dwellers?

    Condo vs "regular" is more of a marketing distinction. Quite often for example you can get a 3 person, 2 person (or love seat) and single person seating in a particular style. Some styles come in even more configurations. I wouldn't get hung up on the distinction between condo and regular. You...

    There's a bus that runs through SLM plus it's two-three blocks from union station - the main connection point for the entire region's transit.

    Gap between the Rich and Poor

    The fact that the rich are getting richer isn't necessarily a bad thing. If someone slugs their way through school, works hard, takes risk, commercializes a great idea or invests wisely then why shouldn't they be rewarded with additional wealth. These tend to create jobs for the majority of...

    Help me configure my sleeping area...

    First Floor - I'm not sure if you have enough space at the base of the stairs. Also, you have dead space in the bottom left corner. You may want to consider wall mounting the tv (assuming it's a flat screen) in this corner with your a/v components underneath. This would free up space by the...

    River City Condos (Urban Capital) - Real Estate -

    I just moved into a place in Corktown - I sure hope that King East is not the new King West. I was on King West on Sat night at 3am. King West is the new Adelaide / Richmond club district. Fun when you want to party but wouldn't want to live there. Seems to be getting worse too.

    Shy Real Estate Agents

    Ric - isn't it in the interest of the seller if the seller's agent calls a potential buyer back? if the agent or seller isn't confortable with acting for both parties, the agent could at least tell the buyer to get an agent. Not caling back is just lazy even if the ppty is sold (which warrants a...

    How difficult is it to sell a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom unit without parking?

    I disagree. I think most potential purchasers of a 2 bdrm will want a parking spot. However, there is nothing you can do about it unless you buy a spot. You will just have to price it appropriately. You may want to find out what it costs to rent a spot. Where I was previously (MOZO) I had one...

    New Bike Lanes on University, Bay, Spadina, and Other Roads

    Seems like most of these bike lanes (and least downtown) run north - south. Don't people bike east - west in this city!?
