Wonder who will buy those big castles that they are building today in the City
Cheers
On lots bordering only five feet from each side of the house, half of the front of the house taken up by a two car garage and the back yard facing a hill which could be terraced two or three times. Did I mention St. Lawrence? Oops! My bad.
I wonder that as well who will buy all these huge mansions being built. As far as I can tell a true middle class home hasn’t been built in this city for twenty plus years… no money in building those I guess. The only affordable housing in PG is run down 40-year old homes in has been neighborhoods.
