@TalktoARYZE Of course, they start at $1.2 million. More retired Albertans into the breach. Good buildings, sensitively sited and built help rather than hinder neighbourhoods. We need more of them. But not dumb triplexs with no parking out of scale with their lot and their street. 12/12.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

My sometime X pal @TalktoARYZE, just across the street from Oak Bay, took a single big lot and put up what looks like 15 townhouses. He kept the rock wall, and some of the trees, they blend well. 11/

It would bring a lot of life to what is now a pretty vacant, lifeless area - with a community centre and a very pretty 9-hole pitch and putt - right where the need for student accommodation is most acute. 10/.

First six floors of each tower could be student and social housing with dorm, shared, studio spaces for the students and small but pleasant social housing appartments. Top 9 floors, at market condos for those retiring Albertans. 9/.

The dog park and school developments might actually include social and student housing and, done at scale, could actually create downward pressure on the Victoria rental market. 8/.

The proposed Beach Drive development will not be cheap either. The Oak Bay Beach Hotel's condos start at around 1.2 and that is with a street rather than ocean view. 7/.

The St. Patrick street eyesore will provide no "affordable" housing for any on. The triplex will be priced at 1 million and change per unit and retiring Albertans will line up. 6/.

It is, of course, lunacy to continue to allow the out of control immigration which is the driver behind the need for housing. And, at every political level, this needs to be made very clear. But meeting the demand can and should be done while preserving actual communities. 5/.

The two sites out by UVic are a closed off leash dog park and a vacant elementary school with lots of land. Six towers and then four towers, job done and OB's charm and neighbourhoods would remain intact. 4/.

Yes, the design is pretty dire, but it can be improved with the employment of an actual architect. Plus, the only people who will actually see it are the golfers and they should keep their eye on the ball. 3/.

Oak Bay could have three to four thousand new housing units by allowing 15 story towers out by UVic which included student housing plus another 580 at this development just down my street: 2/

I Vespa by this place every couple of days. It is out of scale with the street and, more importantly, unnecessary. 1/
