According to CarMax (https://www.carmax.com/articles/car-color-popularity), the largest used car retailer in the U.S., black was the best-selling car color last year, accounting for 22.25 percent of sales, followed closely by white at 19.34 percent of sales, gray (17.63 percent), and silver (14.64 percent).
i think red is probably up there. then further down the line blue green and yellow. brown and gold probably further down.
so why are most houses some form of brown?

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Habitat for Humanity artist-painted door auction" in forum "Urban Design".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Habitat for Humanity Victoria has pooled the talents of more than 100 local artists for an online auction of their original creations — all of them made using doors.
Artists were given vouchers for a door selling for $100 or less at one of Habitat's ReStores, and then got to work turning it into a piece of art.

lpoutine,
TFord has just posted a new topic entitled "Two fast jets flying low in Vic & spraying something?" in forum "Urban Issues".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've cross posted this as I'm trying to get eyes on it and some answers... (sorry in advance)
Anyone else notice the two jets flying fast & low on each others wing these last few days..? super weird, are they military? they looked white in colour. This morning and this afternoon I couldn't help notice the streaks of vapour across the sky, quite low maybe 300 - 500ft.
I actually watched as the circled Vic West and appeared to spray on and off at will. Huge blooms of white vapour from the wings, on and off.
What the hell is this? I'm not interested in chemtrails or conspiracy theories, just facts please.. I am actually a little disturbed at what I seen. I don't want to sound silly but as they passed directly over head and very low, I almost thought I could taste something in the air, am I losing it????

sebberry posted topic Have Your Say: Neighbourhood Boundaries
lpoutine,
sebberry has just posted a new topic entitled "Have Your Say: Neighbourhood Boundaries" in forum "Urban Design".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
------------ QUOTE ----------
May 10, 2021
Victoria City Council is seeking resident feedback on proposed changes to boundaries in the following neighbourhoods: Fernwood, Oaklands, Jubilee, North Park, Fairfield, Downtown, Harris Green and Burnside Gorge.
"The intent is to understand where people see themselves living in the city and to align neighbourhood boundaries with that sense of place. For example, there are parts of Fairfield that feel more like Downtown so we want to make sure those feelings are reflected in the neighbourhood map of the city," said Mayor Lisa Helps. "Ultimately, the residents of Victoria decide, which is why we're going to go out and ask if our proposed neighbourhood boundaries are right."
Residents are also asked to provide feedback on other proposed changes such as neighbourhood land use review committee structures for Rockland, Fairfield and Gonzales, neighbourhood merging for Downtown and Harris Green, and merging the north and south Jubilee neighbourhood associations.
In 2019, Council introduced an action to "resolve anomalies in neighbourhood boundaries" in the Strong, Liveable Neighbourhoods section of the City's Strategic Plan. In February of this year, Council held a workshop and made several observations including:
possible reconciliation of geographic anomalies that may fit better in an adjacent neighbourhood
opportunities to better match boundaries with where residents perceive themselves to belong
some village centres are divided between neighbourhoods
The City would like to hear from all residents regarding these proposed adjustments. Engagement is open from May 10 to June 7.
Results pertaining to specific neighbourhooods will be provided to the neighbourhood associations to inform their submission to the City on boundary changes. Full survey results will be included in the staff report to Council in September 2021 and will be made available to the public at that time.
If approved, the changes would be formally adopted and the Official Community Plan and Local Area and Neighbourhood Plans would be amended in 2022.
To see maps of the proposed boundary adjustments, and to have your say, visit: engage.victoria.ca.
