The Laneways Have It!

The results from the first poll question, which space would you rather rent, are in, and by a unanimous vote the laneway houses have been chosen, over apartments, basement suites, and a room in a house, as the number one space to rent!

Looks like its time for the second poll question!

How much do you think it will cost to built a laneway house?

This question is meant to raise awareness for the cost people think is involved in building this type of house, whether or not their thoughts are realistic or higher than true costs.

I look forward to hearing your input!
