Woodbridge is inhabitable :picard:

Just saw the other day, the condo’s advertised at le jardin were sold out along with the new ones by interchange on jane & hwy 7.


And those are starting from the high 500s

4 years ago you could have bought a condo for 249,999 at highway 7

Back in the 2000’s, woodbridge was farmland and driveways were covered in rubble.

2400-2600 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 2 garage houses all down my street went for 2-300k.

Now? :wow:

Yup lol I remember my dad getting angry at my mom because they spent 320 on a house :mjlol:


I remember condos at Yonge and Eglinton were 199k and that was expensive

Housing costs are ridiculous. As soon as my parents landlord dies or decides to sell, my parents will most likely be homeless. I tried to tell them the rings of fire I had to jump through to get my apartment after being in the same house for 12 years, and they just kind of shrugged it off. They'll never be able to rent a house at today's market cost. I'm sure there are so many people in the same position, just waiting for the hammer to drop. Its wild. I'm 100% sure we will see many a working class homeless person in this city soon.

The Ontario government is scrapping licence plate renewal fees and corresponding stickers for vehicles.

The announcement was made in Richmond Hill alongside Minister of Transportation Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Government and Consumer Services Ross Romano and Associate Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction Nina Tangri.

Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday morning, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the government will issue refunds to Ontarians who have renewed their licence plate stickers. More than 7.5 million residents will receive a refund, officials said.

To receive a refund, drivers will have to ensure their address is up to date on the provincial website by March 7.


Vehicle owners can expect to receive a cheque in the mail starting at the end of March and throughout the month of April, the government says.


“We know the rising cost of living has made many things more expensive and can make it harder for families to make ends meet,” Ford said.

“After two years of the pandemic. People don't need any more hurdles in the way of getting back on their feet and back to normal.”

The move to eliminate licence plate stickers is a strategy ahead of the June provincial election, sources said. Ford's team is looking to gain support from voters in the suburbs, where the majority of people own and drive a vehicle.

The government has allowed people to use expired licence plate stickers since March 2020 to avoid people gathering in Service Ontario locations.

There are more than eight million vehicles currently registered in Ontario.

With files from CTV News Toronto’s Sean Davidson and Colin D'Mello.

This gonna come back to bite us in the ass big time. Where they gonna replace the money that the stickers generated?
