Winnipeg ...It's not only happening in Niagara. Winnipeg is a cesspool of incompetence and corruption. Developers are in bed with city council. The city is coercing homeowners of older homes to sell by making their lives a living hell. Lying to constituents who request information, then accusing these same people of building against the bylaw. Then threatening them with high penalties which they attach to your tax bill. Which means you have to pay it or they take your house. But developers are allowed to damage your property and the city says it's a civil matter even though the city issued them a permit to build. For instance: I wanted to extend my house 5 feet in the front, they said it was "injurious" to an abandoned house slated to be demolished (and the city was aware of that),because these fictitious people would be looking at a 10 foot wall. Then they allowed the developer who owns that very property next door to extend his house 30 feet beyond my house, and they collapsed my sidewalk by digging under my property. They get a huge monetary return on a new house but on my old home they just get the same old taxes they always have. So they don't mind throwing me under the bus.Monique Choiselathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212160352620782372noreply@blogger.com
