A neighbouring #condo corp here in #Whitehorse is spending good money to reduce their property value. The other year, they felled a line of #trees that stood at their property border. Now they are building a high, off-white #fence where they had trees before.

Imagine sitting at your breakfast table, looking out the window, and what you see is that #ugly fence.

They are paying good money to take >$20k off each unit's resale value. 😅

"the living wage to be $31.22 per hour for a single-person household, $25.91 per hour per adult in a two-adult household with two children and $33.95 per hour for a single-parent household with one child. ... the living wage for the two-adult household with two children has increased 41.7 per cent from 2022"

I could feel the trend line, but seeing the numbers... Ouch.

Yukon News · Higher-than-ever minimum wage needed to make ends meet in Whitehorse: reportBy Talar Stockton, Local Journalism Initiative

Finished #reading To the River: Losing My Brother, an exploration of suicide among white men. The author's younger brother, a musician in #Whitehorse walked into the #Yukon River in December and the body was found in the spring. The older brother tries to understand 'why' from a family perspective and from various research, interviews and peer stories. It is another element of the conversation on #masculinity, #addictions, #mentalhealth, and #violence.

Continued thread

#Whitehorse hasn't had an active #railway line since 1982. The "Cousins Airport" is a grass strip for emergency landings (or training) with zero infrastructure and no snow removal. I have never seen or heard it used. The waterdrome gets a modicum of water plane traffic in the Summer, but it is next to a loud hydro dam and gas power station, not near residential areas.

The real noise is from trucks on the Alaska Highway (not mentioned).

Stop #littering the web with #AI #garbage.
