What is going on with the asymmetry? The longer I look the worse it gets. Not even the right edge of the house is a straight line all the way down. What’s with the door placement and the window jutting out and the random transom beneath? And the weird bump out beside the door. This gives me a headache.
Also is this the back of the house? What does the other side look like?
Seeing the house on Streetview raises more questions about the doors.
It has been awhile since anyone has brought up the horrible plague of unidriveways.
Humanity took a massive wrong turn when it prioritized vehicles over people.
The disease has spread to Quebec, despite the vaunted language barriers.
Snouthouses, you say? Windsor represent:
Clearly this poor Calgary chap doesn't have enough driveway/garages. Just think of the Ford-150s!

$125K. I assumed it was infill given how it looks but the fireplace suggests it used to be a nice, older one lol
Will they accept $99k? To demolish it because it's too far gone from saving. Even those places that will remove old fixtures, appliances, anything that can be saved and upcycle them would be like "there's not much here to salvage. Everything smells like cat piss and tobacco"
That line of sheds is hilarious. Can't be for fishing? What do they even do up in the woods? Skidoos I guess?
Oh God! WTF? That's even worse than the main view Molson posted. I also like the gravel yard used to park the truck and skidoo. Did all of the oil and gas workers from NFLD import the worst design trends (or lack thereof) from Alberta when they returned home?
The unpaved laneways (or alleys I guess) in large parts of suburban Calgary are hideous. It does help with the streetfront aesthetic a lot but I've never understood why they leave them gravel or in some cases basically dirt. Lots of laneways in both central Toronto and the GTA suburbs but I've never seen an unpaved one here. I get the expense aspect, including the fact they are mostly in more affordable areas, but they would only need a fraction of the maintenance a proper street would - especially if the suburban streets were narrower.

You can't even tell which is the front or the back of those multi-unit buildings.
niwell, to me it seems like subdivisions built pre late 90s-00s have dirt/gravel laneways whereas post 90s-00s have paved laneways. I recall a coworker lived in Copperfield and it was paved.
O-tacular what's the situation near you. Paved laneways?
You're not that far off. But that alleyway is still about 3 km from my place. Gatineau is quite socially mixed. There is social housing that's less than a five-minute walk from million-dollar houses in my neighbourhood.

How about this Garage-complex in Stoney Creek? Dude has a decent sized home with an attached 2-car garage - relatively reasonable for a rural estate home. But then he went and surrounded it with 3 more, 2-car garage outbuildings all facing the same fore-court.. total - 8 garages!

Ah okay.
And you're telling me Quebecois don't hate poor people just for being poor like Anglo Canadians tend to?
To be fair, parts of Ottawa from that era are pretty similar in regards to social / low-income housing in close proximity to wealthier stuff. Without getting weird I imagined Acajack living in an area at least somewhat similar to my in-laws place in Briargreen, Nepean. Which is also pretty close to social housing and has places averaging around $1M+ now.
Same goes for Toronto inner-suburbs.

Calgary has gravel lanes throughout the inner city as well as the burbs.
The more up to date street view shows it partially paved with the new condo tower at the end but I distinctly remember driving through that alley to get to the grocery store in the podium and it practically feeling like off roading. The ruts were massive.
