Ottawa chatrooms:

Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

there is a home on my street that is vacant. It hasn't been lived in since the 80s. It's not abandoned, the owner maintains it fairly well. But neither is it habitable - it's an early 60s home, no ductwork, barely working systems, would need a $500k investment to be livable.

Pretty sure he's one of the 1900 complaints.

I take that to mean 1900 owners are appealing?

That's how I read it.
