  • Yeah the lots should be reconfigured for better utilization. The backsets on the detached units could be reduced, and the buildings clustered to the right/back corner of the property. The Street could be replaced by a laneway on the property line next to the cluster of homes, freeing up the entire left/front for this common area, and garden/greenery etc










  • My housing coop charges 38% market rate rent, maintains the common area, has a property manager, and provides units fridge/stove/furnace/AC, on 46 three bedroom townhouses.

    So either landlords are wildly inefficient with their expenses, or they are taking a crazy margin over their operating expenses.
