Chivalry dies: City councillor Dean Pappas stepped down from last week’s offer to help a “damsel in distress” after hearing about her plight at Monday's council meeting.
The City is tearing down Cindy Buott's house that she rents from homegrown homes (PCHDC); she had an offer from Homegrown Homes to sign an offer waiving away all rights, or face eviction in 11 days or sign an agreement to vacate ASAP or face immediate eviction by the local sheriff.
The houses at 1126 and Chemong sat empty and not offered to the tenant.
The landlord refused to rent the property to the local activist citing political differences existed.
They offered her a ride out of town but she refused as she continues in her attempt to clean up the ruins left behind by derelict property owners.
Talk about going beyond the call of duty!
A Heritage designation was imposed against the property owner of the historic Cox Terrace by City Council in an attempt to stop the demolition, the building fell into serious disrepair, and the expense of repairs exceeded the cost of the demolition.
In spite of public protest and outcry, the city demolished the historic King Edward School.
People could purchase a brick as a souvenir of the historic school.
