City removing garage sale, real estate signs

City removing garage sale, real estate signs.
Edmonton"s sign police are cracking down on errant ones, removing thousands of garage sale and real estate advertisements from city property. Since May, 7,000 signs have been removed. The city says they are erected in violation of bylaws, look shabby, end up as litter and are hazards for city crews. About 250 people have been fined $110 for each errant sign. City spokesman Keith Scott said council wanted a renewed push on enforcing the sign bylaw. 'It"s unfortunate, but we have to enforce what the bylaw states. [We could be] allowing them to have garage sale signs, but then every other business is going to say they"re selling a product, I should be able to advertise as well.' Anna Wheeler, who holds a garage sale every year, normally puts up signs around her neighbourhood and on the streets.

"No regrets about leaving the UK"

"No regrets about leaving the UK".
One of those Britons who chose to make the move abroad was Roy Bevis, 64, who traded in his home in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, three years ago for one on the banks of Lake Como in Italy. And he has no regrets. A typographer by trade, Mr Bevis said he became fed up with life in Britain for many reasons. He faced problems over his self-employed status after 12 years, he was frustrated with the health service and the cost of transport, he had high blood pressure and he felt his income was being drained by high bills and taxes. .

Real Estate: Repositioning your real estate Is it time to turn on the cash?
We live in perhaps the most desirable place on the planet. And yes, many of us living in the North Bay have had the tremendous foresight ? all right, we got lucky ? to buy local real estate years ago. For some, it?s our principal residence, but for others, it?s multiple single-family residences, or SFRs, and other types of investment properties as well. The great news is that our North Bay real estate, especially SFRs, bought at least five years ago have enjoyed substantial appreciation. As I reflect on our firms? many client stories over the years, my informal survey suggests that their local real estate investments have contributed as much or more to increase family net worth than any other asset category. Patient real estate investing is very strongly correlated with long-term financial success.
