The hotel I’m staying in was built in China. Each room was shipped over, completely done and furnished, and then put together like giant Lego blocks. #Nunavut

@NunavutBirder @djohngo Better than the bouncy floors of "The Navigator", surely.

@NunavutBirder
Meanwhile, next door, GNWT seems to think $850k is just a great deal for one br. Social housing units in Yellowknife.

@NunavutBirder yeah, but we have roads and stuff here. For that price you can buy an upmarket detached 4br. House. New'ish 2br. Upscale condo is < $450.
We need someone over here with a bit of creative insight, not just padding the already bulging pocket of the two big "local" developers.
