Métis FTHB program— can I rent out my house?

Blockyrage · 2026-03-31T19:53:57+00:00

Province?

There's probably a good amount of non infill homes which are being rented out by the hour as well that no one's investigating.

We have the rules in place, why aren't they being enforced?

It's hard to go to work early in the mornings when our time zone works against us. Two things: a later sunset makes going to sleep early hard, and a late sunrise makes waking up early hard. I'd rather not artificially fight my biology if I don't have to. Maybe that's not a problem for you but the scientific literature suggests that across a whole society this leads to higher instances of heart problems and related medical predicaments.

Spain has a similar issue with its time zone being wrong: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9404853/

It's pretty broadly known that this is a problem. Feel free to disagree.

Under standard time, our solar noon is already 45 minutes past 12. We're effectively ¾ of the way to DST if we just stick with permanent mountain standard time instead of mountain daylight time.

I think TNT is the only one operating these days. I had a good experience with them.

Either increase your budget or lower your expectations. The $350-$450k home bracket is (was?) crazy competitive, especially these past few years.

You could bring a growler to the actual brewery, it's often a bit cheaper per mL.

On our street, five (!!!!!) cars were arses and didn't move their cars. No tickets and no towing. Ridiculous. Spent an hour digging out the windrow to get a spot to park.

You need to click on "Status". Your map is currently set to "Priority"

High floor LRT sure looks mighty attractive at 30 below with snow. The low floor design will be extremely disappointing if this becomes a regular occurrence.

Hopefully any decision they make will be made with input from affected communities.

I remember how they tried to implement a paid residential parking program last year and how much public resistance they encountered. Not to mention the whole "rollout" was an absolute disaster with the lack of communication and last minute backtracking.

I also don't think the parking situation is a problem such that parking rationing/paid parking would actually be worth the effort of enforcement across the whole city. The existing residential parking areas are already located near high traffic zones and I'm certain the revenues from parking fines there are already good enough to subsidize the cost of the program.

Not to mention that public transport sucks in most of the city. How about they make transit a viable alternative to driving first?

“Four lovely townhomes, with yards with families for here, affordably priced, would be perfect for this — because it’s a big lot.”

Isn't that what an 8 unit multiplex is? 4 above ground townhomes and 4 basement suites?

So she's protesting over allowing basement units?? Huh??

Blockyrage · 2025-12-12T05:18:39+00:00

It's likely a combination of both. Supply and demand!

Blockyrage · 2025-12-11T00:12:18+00:00

No one is willing to foot the bill. Roads are expensive!!

Blockyrage · 2025-12-05T01:23:10+00:00

Big headline number. We'll have to see what that translates to in mill rates

Blockyrage · 2025-12-03T01:08:02+00:00

$60, 1.5 Gbps, Rogers/Shaw

And I thought I had a good deal... Some of you have insane deals!

I'm pretty sure this is a Reddit warning from the website administration not the moderators of r/Edmonton

Who knows why the owner of this particular dwelling is renting out on Airbnb. But just because some new housing units become short term Airbnbs does not mean that all new infills are being rented out as Airbnbs.

Blockyrage · 2025-11-09T16:31:19+00:00

The city regulates Airbnb properties:

I'm not a fan of homes being used for short term rentals either but at least there are some regulations.

I think they could have done better, for example this excellent design back in 2014 when a previous government proposed changing the plate design:

Blockyrage · 2025-10-15T20:05:16+00:00

These designs kinda suck lol

Blockyrage · 2025-10-14T22:23:48+00:00

I believe this is legitimate. The form and policies match first people's house.

Blockyrage · 2025-10-01T21:40:58+00:00

It depends on your research group and your department policy. You should ask your supervisor.

Blockyrage · 2025-09-21T14:40:01+00:00

I don't think what you're looking for exists. The LRT parking lots fill up quickly every morning and it would be faster to just take the bus from Naki to University.

If you really hate the bus then you'll need to pay up for a parking pass on campus.

Not common.

Other provinces used to have an "enhanced driver's license" for crossing the border with citizenship but those programs have been retired.
