On topic of NIMBYS
I love when people start complaining about "noise", literally anywhere in GVRD. Especially in high density tower locations.
Those of us in trades, are often hitting pots and pans at 7am (opening and closing truck doors, which are "noisy")
Every few years someone will yell off their balcony, or come out and complain that we are too noisy, or that they will call the city on us, usually in the morning.
To which i smile, and say "go ahead, bylaw states noise is allowed at 7am."
Now..... I hate mornings, absolutely despise waking up early to go to work.
But, I LOVE driving to work, to make EXTRA noise, right at 7am. Heck, saturday and sunday work at the same jobsite? Oh baby sign me up. Get me that impact gun, angle grinder, b tank torch.
And man, its so weird that all this copper, ready rod, and unistrut also seems to "fall" out of my truck early those morning too
Dont like noise? I have an idea, go buy a house 100km away from the nearest city in saskatchewan.
