Try try try again! Do not let those commie ndp nay sayers stand in the way of your free enterprise dream!

Right on. If I've learned anything on this site, it's that there will always be a vocal group of naysayers to be against anything you can think of.

Obviously we don't need tourism in Prince George.

"If you want to offer recreation, buy the Bednesti Resort, Whiskers Point or Vivian Lake Resort, they're all for sale"

That should be a clue Mr Chen.

Typical NIMBY's

It is reported that one woman said: "That piece of propety is not a suitable recreation piece"

I am not sure exactly what this piece of property has to offer for recreation. Is it on a lake? Does it have a view? Is it on a horse trail?

Will it be used in the winter? Snowmobiles? Cross country skiing? What exactly are his plans of how to use this piece of property fro recreation?

Where are his plans? What do these 1,000sf "cabins" look like? Recreational cabins sound like he might be interested in building substandard houses. No insulation so cannot be used for winter, for insance.

If they are built to the quality of the cabins at Terracana Ranch Resorthttp://www.terracana.com/index.html they would cost at least $100,000 a piece by the time they are hooked up to services and furnished. We're looking at a $2 million + facility. Anything less than that and it will be a rund down eyesore within a couple of years.

Someone with that kind of an operation needs to do things properly and present some design drawings and a promotional business plan with some pretty pictures at the least.

Perhaps that information was presented, but there is nothing reported on that so assume it was not. Without that, I would be most skeptical and consider it to be a pie-in-the-sky proposal to upgrade the value of his property without spending a dime.

No, this is not NDP talk. This is business talk. This is raising a red flag that something is not quite right here.

OMG! Does mrpg still does not understand the concept of sarcasm. Just google it!
Typical of the extreme right wing though to think that any lame brain business idea is a good one without thinking of the consequences because the taxpayer can take care of any problems .
Kudos to gus for presenting a sane approach.

lol, denaljo. I'm well aware that you're one of the constant naysayers on this site. I was playing around with you a little bit. Sorry about that.

Commie ndp nay sayers? knee jerk reaction.
Actually, people who chose to live in the area many years ago did so for the purpose of agriculture, peace and quiet,and respite from the the teeming masses in the city. I suspect the same is true of any rural residents near a city. It is only natural that they would not welcome the intrusion that an influx of vacationers would bring. Twenty 'cabins'
at one thousand square feet each could bring in a lot of people, traffic, and noise. What is the REAL purpose behind the desire to build these cabins? Vacation? it does not add up, it sounds suspicious.
metalman.

Anywhere else the suspicion might point to migrant workers on a 2 month "vacation".

Zoning will not prevent such a use, nor a reasonable number of people in a 1,000 sf "cabin". Say 4 or 6.

More an more people are brought in for one or two year projects such as mining for 30 days on and 30 days off.

They like to fish and even hunt on occasion. :-)

I guess it's all perspective. I see the automatic suspicion and opposition to be a knee-jerk reaction as well.

It is a knee jerk reaction. It is often called "street smarts", intuition, experience, etc.

Been bit once too often with salesmen bringing lots of trinkets and not having any when they open up the bag. The development game has many of them. Remember, they are trying to sell a proposal. How far do you think this fellow would get if he really was gearing this for migrant workers.

Oh, those "cabins" with 4 or 6 people in them? Depending on the type of workers, double that since they are on shifts and they can sleep in shifts.

Transit bus service nearby? That would be a plus. My house is 912 sq. ft. It ain't what I consider a "cabin". As an an annoying aside, whats with the phrases "18 acres" and "1000 sq. ft"? Mr. Chen fail to grasp metric foisted on us by Trudeau"s bunch? But then again, just buttonhole ANY teenager on the street and ask them how tall they are. Metric? Bah!

gus: "It is a knee jerk reaction. It is often called "street smarts", intuition, experience, etc. "

Just like I said, perspective. Your 'intuition' might not be the same as mine or anyone else's. It doesn't mean it's right. Often the 'truth' lies somewhere in between everyone's perspective.

Let him do it!
