lpoutine,

tamara.bonnemaison@gmail.com has just posted a new topic entitled "Cohousing & Affordability - can they coexist?" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cohousing is becoming more popular as the benefits of living in community receive greater recognition. Many cohousing projects have been built, or are forming on the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island (ie/ Driftwood Cohousing in North Vancouver, Ravens Crossing Cohousing in Sidney, Pacific Gardens in Nanaimo, and newly forming Victoria Urban Village). These projects generally use a private ownership, strata model, but in urban areas with high land and construction costs this results in low economic and social diversity amongst cohousing residents. It is difficult to construct cohousing projects that are suitable and affordable to families in more urban areas.

This is a forum for brainstorming ideas, financing models, and ownership models that could be used to allow cohousing and affordability to coexist.

Victoria Watcher posted topic What happened to Esquimalt's "bubble house"?

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "What happened to Esquimalt's "bubble house"?" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
June 2019:
Unique 'bubble home' popping up in Esquimalthttps://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/unique-bubble-home-popping-up-in-esquimalt-1.4484363 (https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/unique-bubble-home-popping-up-in-esquimalt-1.4484363)

A one-of-a-kind home has popped up in Esquimalt, largely created out of thin air.
The home's main structure, in fact, went up in just three hours. It's a giant white balloon that serves as a mould for the finished home.
Once inflated, the bubble is sprayed with a polyurethane sealant, reinforced with rebar, and then sprayed with concrete and covered with a stucco exterior.The balloon is then removed to be reused for another project.
The developers, Nouvel Housing, say it's an affordable and energy-efficient alternative to traditional building materials.
"The options are pretty vast," says Nouvel vice-president Brittany Olney. "This allows us to build in half the time, which cuts down on cost."


today:
Duplex building site in Saxe Point. One of a handful of building lots in the Victoria core under $800,000. At the time of listing the only lot and duplex zoned lot in Esquimalt. At time of listing only 1 other duplex zoned lot in all of Greater Victoria is on the market (according to MLS). The other is located in Sooke. Only 8 duplex zoned lots have sold in Greater Victoria since January 2015. This is an extremely rare commodity.

rjag posted topic Wheres Grace Lore

lpoutine,

rjag has just posted a new topic entitled "Wheres Grace Lore" in forum "Victoria Politics".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think we need to start a thread to find Grace Lore.

If anyone has seen her can you report sightings of her here please?

I'm concerned she's missing and nobody has heard from her since she's been elected apart from some posts about her kids and ice cream.

If anyone sees her, please do not approach but report where she is and what she is doing to help the good people of Victoria through this pandemic, economic crisis and clown council.

Thanks for your attention to this matter of civic importance.
