HRM Planning Should Be Ashamed

[Keith P.]

My neighborhood is a good example of how things have changed in a relatively short time. A recently but modestly-renovated 2 story house up the street went on the market after COVID hit (not due to COVID but a marriage breakup instead) and was snapped up by a family moving here from Toronto at least partly due to the virus. They put some money into the place after paying a decent but not exorbitant price for it and now have what I presume is a very expensive property. Across the street an identical house to mine was bought by a single lady moving here from rural NS and she paid top dollar, a sum that made me happy for the value of mine should I ever sell it but which I doubt I will ever do. It also made me glad for the assessment cap as hers is assessed at close to what she paid.
