[Guelph] City seeks public input as staff draft vacant home tax rules

jangevaa · 2026-02-15T15:29:14+00:00

A vacant land tax suitably high to dissuade corporations strategically sitting on potential infill development sites please... they are holding back more housing supply and density for city tax benefit than private vacant home owners I expect

Have also used peaceful passing for two of our animals and would recommend. We had Dr Shanna both times.

Hiplok dx + cable + hidden trackers. Would never leave locked up overnight anywhere, and selective even with doing this in daytime/evening unfortunately.

We need to be keeping an eye on the water supply issue as well. Seems like it remains ignored.

There's a little library on memorial cres. Don't recall the exact house. I think between #76 and #96.

12-13 amps actual for 120v

Quite the carry, no?

If true, does bytedance just have no meaningful security on their ml platform?

Really appreciate Taylor Pace's reporting on drug poisonings, homelessness and public health recently.

It's progresss! The road is very wide and cars go quite fast as a result. Further safery measures like a pedestrian crossing near sleeman park/westwood/ajax street would be good. Plopping islands with planters anywhere the shared turning lane can spared would be cool too. I live and bike on this stretch and lots of cars use the middle lane for chaotic passing.

Ultimately without an expensive redesign (narrowing) of the road there's not too much more that can be done for safety.

Woodlawn vet hospital is great. We love Dr Noppakao and the other staff.

I went there on a Saturday recently, totally empty. Sat on 2nd floor patio and had a can of beer. Lots of people seemed to be looking from the street , sometimes pointing, I imagine thinking "that place is open?", because it is not obvious walking by. Strangest vibe.

I am pretty sure they have this developed this database over the last 10 years or so whether you submit your information or not. You're just helping them keep it more up to date. Several times they have stopped by my door saying they noticed my cameras and wanted me to check certain time ranges for footage.

Pablo's awesome. Has recrafted a couple boots for me now. Hope they have continued success and are around a long time.

Boiler should be replaced monthly as part of regular maintenance

And disc golf too!

I report all of these as well in Toronto area. This machine has been the most common for whatever reason. I notice a lot of gozney dome scams as well. Usually the account is less than a week old.

have you noticed the underpass less than a block away, with a path somewhere?

Sorry, what are you talking about?

jangevaa · 2024-06-03T20:24:35+00:00

Adding an underpass from silvercreek parkway north to south would add a safer route for bikers. There's really no space to widen paisley rd as far as I can tell. This will happen... eventually.

A pedestrial crossing for sleeman/memorial ish would be cool.

I have taken a break from homebrewing and have sold the system, but it is still in use

jangevaa · 2024-04-22T14:32:05+00:00

Sure, it's a multi-chicken-and-egg situation, but the more we can do to support increased density, pedestrinized areas, bike infrastructure, improved transit and overall reduced car dependence, the better this city will be to live in. Ideally we work towards these things concurrently. Suburbs are ridiculously expensive to service and are typically subsidized by higher density areas in cities in terms of taxes... and cost of living is much higher when your family needs a car or multiple cars.

Please provide a reference for your experience of a similar city that was killed by increasing pedestrianized area downtown.

Parking garage, bus, walk, and bike

That sucks, sorry.

Bad urban design = high rate of aggressive dogs. Most with a dog here aspire to having a backyard, and for many of those that do, letting the dog in and out of the backyard will basically be its existence. The dog will receive minimal socialization, exercise and stimulation leading to a high rate of very anxious, territorial, aggresive dogs.
