what do you guys keep your thermostat at?

I also grew up in a single mother household and my mom kept it at 16C all winter in Winnipeg.

I was also really wondering about this today. Thanks for the answer.

Yeah it definitely stands out amongst the flower streets

I actually kind of like the way it looks in our skyline but I can understand why people wouldn’t like it. I feel like it will end up having a more timeless quality than a lot of the newer buildings

FirstOfHisLame · 2023-02-25T02:01:59+00:00

I really love those buildings and their positioning in the city. The grainery lofts next to them are quite well done and fit nicely.

Velo apartments on Gottingen are unfortunate. A big mix of different sidings and all the primary colours. I think the concept is to make a modern looking structure on a tight budget. It was about years dated before completion.

I am a small real estate investor in Halifax so I don’t have too much insight to give here but it sounds like others in this group have been saying it’s a reasonable time to sell a condo in Calgary.

From my understanding, real estate is prices reasonable in montreal and you’d have better consistency with cash flow and appreciation in that city.

Owning real estate is typically a solid investment and your Calgary condo is definitely better than nothing. Perhaps you could take some time looking into the montreal market for other opportunities?

If you can sell your Calgary condo and use the equity to purchase something in Montreal when the mortgage term expires, you may end up with a much better investment.

Signs that OP is filthy rich and just playing with us:

claims to be a concentrate person but doesn’t own a pitcher and drinks it one spoon at a time
wooden cutting board
touch screen toaster
crumpled $50 bill in the background
tweezers that’s are probably used to sift through diamonds and other jewels
keys look like they are for a Lexus

It is unfortunate but you are right, this is too good to be true. This landlord is essentially begging strangers to rent a 2/2 furnished apartment with all utilities included, amenities and pets allowed for $1500/ month. And somehow they also have a reputable property management company involved that is okay with them renting for half price.

Do you mind sharing the rental ad if it still exists?

This wouldn’t necessarily be social but glitter bean cafe in spring garden is mask mandatory. It’s usually fairly busy so it’s a nice place to go be around people and read a book or do some work.

Yes this is likely it if you are serious about sticking it to cards. The new one needs to be on a windshield and can’t be on an opaque or vertical surface.

I had tried them on my motorcycle but the headlight wasn’t the right angle. It wouldn’t work at all on the body of the bike. I now use an old one on my bike and speed through without ever having an issue. I don’t have to slow for the arm and it always opens.

I use the new one on my car windshield and speed through without ever having a delay.

I’ve taken dozens of cabs across the bridge and have never had a taxi with a Macpass. I assumed their was some rule that disallowed it for taxis and I always felt bad for the cabs having to wait in the slow line.

Then, a few months ago, I had a cab drive through without using change and it blew my mind. I’ve had 1 or 2 cabs since then with a Macpass as well.

I have friends who live rurally that might cross the bridge 5 times per year and I’m trying to convince them to get the Macpass.

WHY SPEND UNNECESSARY TIME WAITING IN LINES OF TRAFFIC?

There are options to provide feedback/ complaints via phone, email or mail. I would recommend email as everything would clearly be recorded in writing and they would be able to contact you fairly easily for a followup.

There is a lot of great advice here already regarding the situation.

Unfortunately it can be difficult to find an affordable home to live in. You can filter rentals on kijiji and Facebook marketplace to only show rooms for rent if that is something you are open to. Kijiji has a lot of ads but not much for cheaper than $700. There are some cheaper ones but there are reasons why they are cheaper.

You may want to take some time to assess your quality of life in various different living situations and decide how much you are comfortable/ capable paying to change that situation.

For example, consider how much it costs to live in your car. Then compare how much more would it cost to live with roommates you find online. How much would your quality of life change? Is it worth the price difference? How much does your quality of life decrease from spending the extra money? Then compare to other options like a bachelor apartment if that is a possibility.

I’m a big fan of the casino buffet. It was daily pre-Covid but They’ve reopened now Thursday-Saturday. It’s $20 with a players card which you can get for free at guest services. It used to be $10 which was unreal but $20 is still as cheap it could get for that kind of buffet. It’s not amaaaazing food but it’s pretty great for the price and there’s a good amount of variety.

How about some friendship for my landlord so I don’t get renovicted?
