My government ID has Cochrane's address on it, and the experience was so bad that I moved out of Canada. I don't have health issues as such, but there is one doctor for 5000+ residents, a shortage of daycare and schools, and many things we don't think about and take for granted. You can't park a vehicle on the street except in summer (good luck finding rental property and parking if you don't have private properties), and walking in -45 degrees Celsius with frozen, icy, and not clean sidewalks, and freezing rains is challenging (worked with this and previous mayor and gave solution to fix but they don't care). In the 12 years I lived in Canada, I didn't feel racism and discrimination until living in the Town of Cochrane. If you like green food or any food, better have some extra cash saved as it's expensive, and so are all other things you use. Research well before you move, especially considering the nearest airport, etc. It's not fun to live with a family as an immigrant in such a geography, or you have depends and no relatives or close friends around. Taxi would cost $250+ one way to drop airport, although the bus is there in the morning.

For Ontario, the smallest house you are allowed to build is 200 square feet in size. Trailers are NOT allowed for residence, so you can't live in a trailer/mobile home. But it should be possible for the average person to build a 200 sq-ft house for around $50,000 very easily. There are tiny-home builders who will build it for you if you want. I'm in!

It's obvious in the interview that the city isn't interested in small homes, they're looking for developers in order to bring in more people for their mining industry by the look of it. It appears land sale is not intended for the average Joe, and therefore, the cost of the homes will most likely not be affordable.

[@JAIMESIMPSON2001]

How did you come to this conclusion? not being combative, just asking. I was listening and the conclusion I arrived at was that we will have to wait to see what the stipulations would be. Seems like he only said something like, 'land for a reasonable price if you show that you intend to build a home.' Did you hear something different?

[@tomaytotamaato]

@@JAIMESIMPSON2001 No hard feelings, He stipulated that developers were first and foremost on the list of land developers. It's not a stretch to extrapolate that Cochrane is looking for multi home development and not ad hoc, one offs. I could be wrong and I hope that I am, but I don't think I am. My impression from that interview is that they are trying to create a new city north of Sudbury to fill in for the mining sector that is all important to the 'EV' industry. This doesn't bode well for an independent, like I said, I hope I'm wrong but won't hold my breath.

Not exactly interested in a septic tank system in the middle of winter... There's always a catch with these deals. Maybe if you're looking to retire as an individual off the grid it might be a decent deal. Building housing isn't cheap though. It looks like folks have already built stuff and is trying to flip it it for 400k. On a Septic tank in an area with no jobs that's an awful deal....they might want to rethink doing that. There is also a lot of folks trying to flip the lots for 100k. If they paid 10 bucks for them...you might consider giving them their 10 bucks back and tell them to get lost.

Florida, I hear there swamp land down there for you.

[@pablojimenez5736]

That is the 1st step: to make land affordable to people and immigrants to build their house. Why Mr Trudeau doesn’t understand that??? The town should give an step further and say this: Hey, here is the looted land, here are the pre approved designs, if you are a working family, purchase the lot, grab a pre-approved design plan and build your house and be happy, free and prosper. Why the progress of Mr Trudeau cannot see this???

[@ironhell813]

None of them understand it the land is going to developers so they can make money. Poor ppl get shit in Canada.
