So a couple of days ago I wrote an article about a property owner in St. John’s who thought he owned his own property on 25 Winter Ave. Of course he doesn’t. The city owns it and just graciously lets him live there. That’s why councillor Dave Lane and ex-councillor shannie duff both broke down in tears at the bulldozing of the old house that was there.
So the power-hungry bureaucrats are also around in Stephenville apparently. A young couple wanted to build a house on their family’s property. So let’s stop for a minute. They wanted to build THEIR OWN house on THEIR OWN property. Why this requires permission is beyond me. Oh right, we don’t own ourselves or our labour. We are just subjects of our overlords! That’s right!
But of course it gets worse. The council required they hook themselves up to the town grid. But then the council REJECTED their application because it would cost the town $2 million to extend the grid to their house. So now the couple cannot build their OWN HOUSE on their OWN PROPERTY! Even if they supply their own GOVERNMENT-CERTIFIED artesian well for water and septic tank for sewer.
To anyone who thinks we live in a free society, I have three letters for you: LOL.
Here’s the story:
