Unlike here in GP where people are paying $1000 a month for a room in a house.
Actually you’d be surprised just how few houses are on the market right now. On the MLS site there are only 173 listings right now. Approximately 70 of those listings are houses asking less than $100,000 and you can clearly see why. There really isn’t a good selection and not everyone wants to buy a 30 year old (or older) house. As for building on an existing lot… I suppose that’s an option. It might be hard to find a contractor to do it though if enough construction gets going around here.

Until you see the construction going on in GP… in fact Landon you should go around town if you have spair time, with a digicam and take pictures of some of the “HELP WANTED IMMEDIATELY!” signs, and post them on here. The construction in GP is mind bogling… I mean you drive down a road one week, might just be some grass fields or something, then next week or two, you return down the same street to see houses or a new hotel being built… its just nuts. This boom is fueled by hundreds of oil related companies, and there are more than a hundred that have over 200 people on their payrol… I doubt that this one container port, thats expected to bring what, 400 jobs after the second phase, will bring anymore than the pulp mill had once employed. Not to mention that the fishing industry is getting worse ever year.
Well I don’t think anyone is saying that the port is going to bring thousands of direct jobs, but it is very likely to be the catalyst that opens the door for everything else to come. Just look at all of the announcements since they gave the go-ahead on the port and the thing hasn’t even been built yet. Industry attracts industry.

the guy from victoria is coming back in a month with the plans on what he is building and i got this from the mayor himself mayor of port edward as pruedome lake is a port ed jurisdiction not rupert it wont be at city hall
