Hey HRM Planners, Councillors or whomever else is approving all of this construction:
It’s great to create a growing city, but can you slow the fuck down for a minute? Who the hell is going to live in all of these overpriced condo/apartments? And by the way, allowing a building on the baordwalk/waterfront is just gross and you should all be poked with a stick for allowing that to go through.
There was a time when the old boys wouldn’t let anything be built at all, because of historic value, and that was a pain because then buildings just rotted. But now it seems like you’re just letting anything go up and at a rapid pace, without regard for aesthetics, history, architecture or just plain ol’ common sense. Did anyone think to stagger the timing of developments? Can’t you wait to see how what we have now fills up before shoving other unnecessary condos/apartments/retail spaces down our throats? And don’t get me started on the logistical nightmare of manoeuvring the downtown area, where the crane has become the city’s official bird.
This summer was a particular disaster, and it’s not like you didn’t know it would be a big tourism year, what with 150 and Tall Ships and all. Did someone just say “hey, let’s invite all kinds of tourists here and then not let them get around”? It’s like someone is playing a crazy-ass game of monopoly up in here and it’s a fucking free-for-all. Enough! DON’T SELL BOARDWALK!!
Seriously. Stop it. —Developing Distaste

Kijiji Pet Peev
I look through kijiji to find bargains or things that may enhance my home. It is suppose to be a bargain, at a reasonable price. Some of the stuff in nice but rather pricey.
When I look at some of the furniture it does not have dimensions listed. How can you possibly figure out if the item of furniture is going to fit into your home if you don’t know the basics. It is too large for the space? Does it have wide enough shelves to accommodate my favorite serving plate? Have the time I spend requesting of the seller to place post dimensions. ie., Depth of shelf, Height, Width, and weight.
Another thing to mention – Why are the photos posted side ways of up side down? It is of little value to the person viewing it to view it sideways of up side down. It takes a few extra minutes working with the right editing tool to come out with decent photos and ads. This gives the person buying it the confidence in knowing a little care was taken with the item.
