When Being Right Isn’t Always Good.

An Edmonton green homeI was cruising through the Edmonton Sun this morning and came upon an interesting article titled Fight over Riverdale house turns ugly.  Interesting enough its about Edmonton Real Estate.

The article goes into detail about an house that has been left unfinished since 2008. The twist to the story is that the owner was forced by the neighbors through city hall to stop building because his house was too big and too close to property lines. This has caused numerous trips to the architects office and city hall. The owner is now out of money and is having to pay contractors as he earns money.  The misfortune in this all is that the CITY OF EDMONTON approved his permits in the first place. Man would I hate to be in Con Bolands shoes right now.

The moral of the story… Becarfull what you wish for!
