This is tiny and neat.

After you build a house, you can drag it to the far end of your property for her family to move into.

:lol: Perfect.

The video is all fluffy and lacks substance. They should show construction and an interior view, as well as talk about heating and utility hookup.

This is kinda neat.
Drive to a resort parking lot for ski or bike season, and set it up.

If you tune out the voices you would swear it was Hornby island… Bloody hippies.

is going big on a bike the only way to get you stoked on the sport? what happened to riding with your bros, travelling, and riding unique places, to get people stoked on riding?

fines are useless. there needs to be more punches to the throat.

I always knew Bralorne was paradise, but it looks official now:

http://www.debbiedemare.com/2015/03/paradise-city-gun-lake-logging-gold.html

From the translation:

"Before and after August 2014 this newspaper (World Journal) has reported, BC ‘Ghost Town’ Bradian on the market for sale. Ultimately, it is purchased by a Chinese company for under a million dollars. According to news this company has given ‘Paradise City’ as the name to the development project which is launching its planning stage – build a comprehensive business, sports, resort and recreational facilities in the premise of retaining the little town’s historic characters.

Replication of Whistler

According to Zhong Ya Group’s current planning of the Bradian development project named ‘Paradise City (Tian-Fu City)’, the historic features of the town will be retained while using Whistler’s successful model creating an one-stop smart resort for gold panning, jade picking, skiing, rafting, mountain sports, sight-seeing, vacationing and other recreational activities.

The total project development area of 53 acres will include residential, commercial and green belt areas. The first phase of the project will focus on infrastructure such as making applications to the government for land rezoning to build hotels, shopping malls and other commercial development; phase two and three will focus on retaining Bradian’s historic sites with its mountainous geographical advantages while integrating elements of Chinese customs of countryside development for leisure and recreation.

The company is currently working to organize land surveyors, urban planners and related engineering and technical consultants to make further improvements on the government land use development program, and actively seeking for potential business partners. The specific amount of capital investment and the time to start construction are still unknown."

Don't know whether to laugh or cry. I suspect they're just parking money offshore in case the China bubble busts, but who knows. They've got some obstacles to overcome, that's for sure.

I think that belongs in its own thread. It's worthy of discussion for sure but this thread is about alternative housing ideas for the little guy, not multi million dollar resort developments.

Can we burn incense and protest logging daily while we're at it? I want to live in that world.

Hi guys,
I'm looking at land on forbidden plateau, and I want to build a tiny home (not on wheels) there, thing is I can't find any regulations and stuff about it… only thing said is permit is required above 10m2…
Is that area, inside usable space, or overall foot print? I know in that district i can go up to 6m (18ft) high roof, does that means i can have one story?
cheers for your tips
