lpoutine,

VicHockeyFan has just posted a new topic entitled "What driveway treatment would you choose?" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was just dong some work for a client, and I got to thinking about driveway treatments.



If you were building a feature home today, what would you use?

Paving stones are I guess the prettiest, but I guess not all the permeable. I'm kind of partial to the concrete pavers with grass growing up between them.

I'm not sure that works on a largish scale.

UrbanRail posted topic Affordable Housing Question

lpoutine,

UrbanRail has just posted a new topic entitled "Affordable Housing Question" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a question to you. Should the region do more with federal and provincial help to solve the housing affordability issue? What I am getting at is the market has clearly failed as well as our elected officials (mostly provincial and federal) in dealing with the housing issue. Now I know the provincial government announced money recently (election bribery), but should it take an election year for government to respond? The last Coops were built in the 80s and it was the liberals that started the funding cuts with the conservatives following suite.

In my opinion homes and property are way over valued in the CRD and lower mainland. But unfortunately we can't change that or can we?

Should developers do more ( yes there are rentals being built but even their so called affordable rentals aren't really affordable.)

My wife and I were victims of being evicted this past May because of complains of parking issues, it was an illegal suite (run by Newport) and Saanich forced the new owners that bought the house we were living in to go back to a duplex from a four plex. We fortunately found a place but many aren't so lucky.

Shouldn't there be a cap on prices?

Your thoughts?

Good Evening Victoria, I just opened a virtual reality arcade in Victoria at 2822 Nanaimo st, beside the Long and McQuade on Hillside. We have 4 devices and plenty of single and multiplayer games.

More information here: http://www.vicvr.ca/about.html

We are also hobby developers making games for virtual reality, looking for some more people who would like to do some multiplayer VR game development in Unreal Engine. Send me a message at info@vicvr.ca if interested!

Thanks,

Shealand

sirswithin posted topic Axe & Barrel

Rumour has it that the menu is about to change at the Axe & Barrel. From what I hear they're going to be bringing back more items that you'd consider pub grub. The customer numbers haven't been stellar. People that were used to the Loghouse have been staying away partly due to the weird bistro bbq menu and partly to the escalated prices. I doubt prices will go down but it will be good to have more choices on what is a fairly small menu.
