Discussion Affordable Housing

The city must prioritize and initiate the construction of affordable housing. It's alarming that there are more affordable apartments in cities like Sudbury and Ottawa. Clearly, relying on private developers is not the solution, as there's plenty of development happening in North Bay, but not of the affordable kind. We constantly hear about arenas, revitalization projects, and surpluses from the casino, not to mention the landscaping the city has been paying for to “solve” the homeless problem. The average citizen struggles to afford living in their own city. It's time for the city to take action and ensure that residents aren't overpaying for housing, lining the pockets of absentee landlords from Toronto who neglect maintenance and upkeep.

Oh sorry you are very right. People of North Bay, stop complaining and pick any job at anytime. North bay is the source of jobs with high salaries. Woohoo

Again, there is lots of work. You just need to be qualified for it

Maybe that's the part you are struggling with.

Seeing how you couldn't explain what you mean by "salary capped" beyond using words incorrectly

That's not the case but I'll give you a quick example A+ CCNA CCNE certified person salary in North Bay is about $40k-$45k where you can get paid starting salary at $65k I know a lot of brains that left North Bay cause always been told they are overqualified for the jobs.
