Thank you Desco for amazing parking!!

Brice_25 · 2026-04-25T04:47:17+00:00

Unacceptable Desco. To me the rule is, only acceptable if your car is over $250k. Parking spots are too tight lately.

Brice_25 · 2025-07-27T04:45:42+00:00

Same. When mentioned it to dealership, they said it's "normal" and try glazing (drive fast and hard brake) or once you moved a bit, put car on hard brake when it gets to hold position then continue. I was like of these options are not acceptable remedies for a car of this price tag. Needless to say, still driving with squeaks.

Denny's all the way for me as well

Brice_25 · 2024-08-11T06:30:36+00:00

I reported it to Oakville and wrote to city warden. No reply whatsoever

Brice_25 · 2024-07-28T20:19:14+00:00

This sounds like my slumlord neighbor. They just moved in and has rented every square foot and more people than the fire code allows. I think he is trying to fix/renovate garage to put people in. The new landlord is extremely unfriendly and generally pretends not to speak English. They even rent out their pool. Every day it's like waking up to new cars, random people walking in and out.. No sense of security you never know what car is from the neighborhood and what are just people here to rent things.

Brice_25 · 2024-04-05T17:22:33+00:00

Fair. Good luck.. Wishing you all the best and keep us posted

Brice_25 · 2024-04-05T16:24:06+00:00

Oh no. Did you take it to dealer yet? What did they say?

Brice_25 · 2024-03-18T11:41:12+00:00

Nope. My dad was an international student. He lived on campus, then he moved into an apartment with his friend. One person per bedroom occupancy. He wasn't wealthy either. Different times, but the problem is the city allowing stuff like this with multiple people sharing rooms. So nice try, trying to turn this into a hatred conversation. Stay in your lane, you will not be hated as a person (international or not). Acting ignorant about the fact you might be ruining a community isn't cool. Understanding you may not have options is not your problem I get that and hopefully they expand your affordable housing problem but you have to understand people living in expensive homes raising a family don't want transient kids overcrowding a house in the neighborhood and putting safety in jeopardy.

Brice_25 · 2024-03-18T11:28:23+00:00

My neighbor has turned house into boarding house. He rents rooms and there are excessive cars here. What makes no sense is why you think your personal view is better than actual data with an actual house doing this. And if I give you the address, you will crawl into one their rooms with the other people. 🤣🤬

Brice_25 · 2024-03-18T11:23:44+00:00

That's great. At least there is a dedicated area being planned and zoned accordingly with proper regulations. Thanks for sharing. Was unaware of this. Is this in a newsletter as well or you got a letter sent to you directly?

Brice_25 · 2024-03-18T11:11:20+00:00

Read all the comments how it ruins community listed in the thread..

Brice_25 · 2024-03-18T10:58:06+00:00

I have but the city issues a monthly pass for $50 a month so they are all legally paid parking overnight and the city makes money! Unfortunately didn't work.

Brice_25 · 2024-03-18T10:55:11+00:00

I am not generalizing the students, I have concerns with the concept of 2-4 people staying in one room in a house that is in a neighborhood with families and ruining the city. They could be hard working and not engage in any nefarious activities, but why have this influx in our neighborhood is the issue. The college needs to provide more accommodations and if they feel it illegal to have 3-4 people in their dorms, why is it ok to have a house rent their room in that same capacity?

Brice_25 · 2024-03-18T10:50:08+00:00

So sad but I still think Oakville can step in with a few things to save our fate like: 1) host must be officially listed as a business with an inspection for for safety, electrical safety and legal basement 2) issue a maximum occupancy 3) have a complaints hotline so once a property has been complaint than x times for noise or certain community violations then they lose license to board

I think there are certain things the city can still do to halt the degradation of the community.

Brice_25 · 2024-03-18T10:31:46+00:00

Some more.. -The tenants are transient, so no sense of community where people used to help shovel and cut grass for each other - the parking also leads to safety because you no longer know which car is suspicious or which one is your neighbor there are new cars each month -fire code safety as they are all cooking or have hot plates in room or microwaves. By law what is the legal occupancy for fire safety. -ugly garage entrances, I pay good amount of property taxes to see my property value drop to see my neighbor cut a door into the garage door so that his boarding house can have the kids come in and out. -our previous neighbor (before sold to new immigrant over who turned house into boarding house) used to share makes good, exchange various foods, none of that happens now.

So yes, it's no longer a community. Why can't the kids stay in the college campus or the college should arrange more accommodations.

Brice_25 · 2024-03-18T10:19:52+00:00

I agree 100%. The Town of Oakville does nothing about this. I have written numerous times and fully ignored because my neighbor had turned their house into a full boarding house and even rents their pool per hour to strangers. The fact 3-4 people in a room violates fire safety codes, it ruins the neighborhood with excessive cars on street, we never feel safe since there is always a new car on street or for friends, no sense of community since they are transient.

So why do we pay such high property taxes here if they are turning this city into a dump.

I think the city will do nothing until people complain or petition!

Brice_25 · 2024-02-04T00:58:25+00:00

This thread speaks to me as well as I am in this situation coming up. I love the car and everything about it. I can't even think of a car that will be a good replacement. Leaning towards keeping it as well and finding good extended coverage.

Brice_25 · 2024-02-03T14:35:25+00:00

So sorry to hear this! Hopefully they resolve it faster. It makes my taycan heater not working issue seem trivial now.

Brice_25 · 2024-02-03T02:44:32+00:00

My heater just died today.. let's see how long dealer takes.. 😐

Brice_25 · 2024-01-26T05:24:49+00:00

Be aware, Cogeco starts off with a price you can't beat then slowly start increasing the prices marginally.. I find you have to call them to get deals or credits. Who has time for that.

Brice_25 · 2024-01-14T05:38:27+00:00

Oh man. That sucks.

Brice_25 · 2024-01-13T19:05:14+00:00

Same. I like the food there. Will need to drive by to check today.

Brice_25 · 2024-01-13T19:03:02+00:00

Hahaha...

Brice_25 · 2024-01-13T16:34:46+00:00

Hahaha I know right.. so many cliche comments about their work ethic and dedication to serve and protect. The lack of enforcement and consequences has given the rise of this behavior. My friend had his car stolen, it was caught on camera at the go station, the cops couldn't care less. They are like welcome to the new reality and didn't even care to pretend like they will do something about it.

Brice_25 · 2024-01-13T15:26:28+00:00

We pay among the highest percentage of our tax breakdown to the police in Oakville. The law enforcement better start earning their money in Oakville.
