horiffying

Here is a post off kijiji that someone was kind enough to allow me to post on here...This is the horrifying stuff we in saskatoon get to see all the time and it'd all due to the rental prices!!!!
 
I witnessed this out my living room window this morning!!
 
Some kindhearted person has allowed a homeless man a safer place to pitch his home in the midst of the snow!!!
 
THIS PROVINCE AND CITY OF SASKATOON SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.......MINUS 12 TONIGHT......shame shame shame on those that have no compassion to advocate for the housing cost crisis in Saskatoon! I will be posting on youtube... refered to as SASKATOONS HOMELESS because some arrogant person will have this deleted from kijiji!!
 
 
IS THIS SASKATOONS AND SASKATCHEWANS ANSWER TO THE HOMELESS????

come one come all time to rally together people!!!!

Alright well for anyone and everyone who comes across this blog myself along with others are doing everything in our power now to try and get the rental prices in saskatoon lowered and to have rent control. If you have a story a question or a concern about the price of renting in saskatoon please either write it under the comments or you can email it to me at lynette_1_9@hotmail.com all of the stories questions comments and concerns will be going higher up where they need to go. I would love to see the numbers fly through the roof hundreds maybe even thousands. If we can do that maybe we can make a difference and if we aren't willing to do it for ourselves no one else will do it for us. so come on lets have them.

I AGREE

It has come to my attention that in just the last 24 hours there have been 3+ posts on kijiji about how sick and tired people are of the rent prices....well as the title says i agree obviously considering that is what this whole blog is about lol. Anyway some one posted that we need to open our mouths and raise these concerns to the politicians when they come knocking at our doors and calling us looking for our vote. I thought about that for a minute and they are right somewhere some one has to do something about this and really if they want to be elected in OUR city then we should be able to have some input into what happens and I realize most people go for bad roads and budget but i think this person is right we should start complaining about it.  Obviously the landlords don't want to listen to our posts on kijiji because for as long as we have been complaining nothing has changed. Even though i love kijiji they keep kicking my ad's off every time i post one complaining they tell me it is an OPINION post and that is not allowed, which is why I started this so that anyone and everyone can see it and read it and i know it won't get the boot. I also noticed another post stating the same thing i have said over and over, that we could live ANY WHERE else in canada or even the states for that matter and the same price for a gorgeous FULL house as what we pay here for a main floor that is barely livable at best. I myself have also been looking for a different place now for almost 8 months now due to having another baby 3 1/2 months ago. The chance of finding a full house in this city is slim to none to begin with and then if it's not some run down old dump that i wouldn't even let my dog live in (which by the way most people are asking $1400 + utilities and up for those places) then it's some EXECUTIVE house?????????????? which then they are asking $3000+ utilities. Who really has that kind of money to throw away every single month and even if you do have that kind of money to throw away WHY???? personally i pay $1200 a month for a crappy 3 bedroom main that has NO and i mean NO storage the rooms are small the windows are old and let in a huge draft, only one furnace ( so we have to control the heat to the liking of the people downstairs) 1 water heater ( which is fun when there is 6 people in a 2 bedroom below you and 5 people in a 3 bedroom upstairs). Really even paying that price for this place i feel like i need to have a HUGE supply of Vaseline here every month when rent is due cuz i am royally getting screwed and it hurts.
