Tenants who think they should pay $600 a month forever?  I therefore demand my mortgage payment, heating, maintenance costs, property taxes, etc can't go up more than 2%/year.  Why not limits on food increases too.  Gasoline?  Tires?  Electronics?  Fair is fair

 

...and you wonder why these buildings have reached the end of their lives?  News flash with rents at $600 a month there is no money for maintenance let alone upgrades 

 

We need to do away with limiting rent increases, we live in a capitalist country.  Maybe these people can't afford to live in Victoria?

^ I agree.

As a resident of Treelane Estates, at 103 Gorge Rd East, I am very concerned about this development.  I recently bought my condo and appreciate the view I have.  This increase in height of the proposed development, to 7 stories will pretty much ruin my view of the Gorge and The Inner Harbour and will negatively  affect property values in this building.

Yeah, that's unfortunate, regarding the view. Your realtor should have mentioned this project was proposed. Did they not tell you?

You mean "will lower housing costs".

 

That's what we want, no?
