Re: Sustainable de-growth for Fernie?
Nope, not a single condo, house etc, just an observation of the amount of business that seems to not be taking place in town. Yep the mines are growing and yes the homes are more affordable for WORKING people. Most of the growth is taking place up valley. Very little in Fernie. Like I said de-growth is alive and well. What with basically no housing starts, and many businesses just holding on, and those that want to expand or get going, cannot get by totally messed up parking bylaws, etc etc. Not a bad thing if your fortunes do not rely on the fortunes of the town, but if you don’t work for the city, hospital, schools or are retired, things are downright scary at the moment for those trying to scrap a living. I know my spending here has basically stopped. By the way, I do know many who used to build those condos, etc who have had to move away with their families to greener pastures as part of the de-growth scenario.
