Too late!

Nice. Needs utility buy-in too. Write to your local electrical utility!

... Although my phone warns me "rain and snow" is heading our way tomorrow....

The weather is lovely in #NewWest

Tuesdays are fully booked for a while. I'll see you all at the park beers edition some time soon.

Anyone in #NewWest a runner? Come join Queen's Park Running Club and run for an hour with us. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7pm at the Arena.

Which ones do you want?

How would you fix it? Who would invest in a low rise retail street like that?

Best you could hope for is another tower with a few dentists in the ground floor.

First step would be to figure out how to attract and retain businesses.
It's too expensive for them right now.

I've seen lots of good bands play at Abbotsford Centre. Can just about get there and back on one charge if I'm lucky.

No Anvil Centre date, but two other local options...

I am ok with bangernomics, but I would hate to spend all the money necessary for a new car.

As for activities, I think families are oversubscribed nowadays. When I was young, playing in the back lane was the activity!

That's good, the trick with Modo and/or Evo seems to be to use them very sparingly, as the costs quickly add up.

Do you drive at all - eg use modo/Evo or rent a car?

Making not like for like comparisons wades into murky territories IMHO. Other examples are: should cyclists pay insurance and licensing? Should they pay for parking?

I've heard the Everything Wine is good, but I have never been motivated to make the trip there.

This is not good.

Recommended read. Especially for people my age.

I hope you didn't take of-fence...

Turn it 100% into a bike lane? That'll fix it!

I'm most concerned about their repeated use of American spelling. Elbows up!

Isn't that standard across BC though?

I looked and PoCo charges 2.7x the residential rate for businesses, but New West charges 3x - even higher!

Ms Singh still wants her RAV4 though, just wants to save up for it, not buy it on finance.

That's right. Most older builds are gravity fed with header tanks for cold water. Newer systems run at mains pressure.

That's what people used to do with their immersion heaters in the UK - put a timer on them and only heat water when it's going to be used.

Over here I notice they are designed to be powered constantly with the thermostat set to 140F/60C to protect against Legionella.
