Coudonc y'a tu un pyromane a Montreal ou les medias exagerent les incendies?

[lord_galathon]

On a eu trois ou quatre incendies majeurs a Montreal depuis deux trois semaines. Celui dans le quartier Chinois, l'autre la semaine derniere pis celui ce matin.

Est-ce qu'on a un pyromane de lousse?

non,

On a un shit load de squatteur et itinérant qui siège dans des bâtiments désaffectés des promoteurs qui veulent des terrains pour des condos.

L'immeuble dans le quartier chinois etait rempli d'amiante, 500K$ pour faire desinfecter. ca sent la crosse d'assurance .

J'ai passé exactement le même commentaire à un ami lundi, disant qu'il y aurai plus de job pour nous à cause des incendies et ce matin encore une fois.

The one in westmount at Park's restaurant was probably a kitchen fire.

The one is chinatown was almost certainly about the insurance. it's not a good lot or location for a condo development.
The one on parc today, was almost certainly for development purposes. The historical building was between the building where the fire originated and an empty lot.

It's unfortunate but protecting and restoring these old buildings is practically like charity work, it's almost impossible to find a new purpose for them or make money redeveloping them.

It's a okay location for condo IMO:

-Proximité Vieux-Port
-Proximité D-Town
-Proximité Metro/Transport
-Proximité palais des congrès, quartier des affaires internationales etc
-Proximité du futur parc au dessus de Ville-Marie.
.....

Dans le pire des cas, un Hotel

You could justify it I guess.
The surrounding area isn't great
I don't know if it's still the case today but it use to hobo central around there. (Old brewery is just down the street)
Consistent construction every year.
Fire station a few hundred meters away

There's literally a holiday inn right behind it. I don't know if the area needs more hotels.
I haven't been in the area since the fire but hopefully it the spread to the clark side of the block, that would make a big enough plot of land to do something.

Problem is developers are not willing to pay for architects to come up with an intelligent plan that involve simply knocking down the building and re-using the facade in an original way with a larger building behind.

Facadism is controversial in heritage preservation circles but it's absolutely not in Montreal. Tons of example. Some nice, some mediocre.

Most of these buildings are complete piles of crap that should be knocked down. You can't save everything old... Everyone only cared about the Chinatown building only after the media reported on it. First movie theater ok? Seriously who cares... same deal with that place on Parc ave. Both were terrible on the eyes and had no hope of rescue.

Est-ce qu'un vieil immeuble inhabité très inflammable rempli d'amiante et de squatters/drugs users est assurable?

Calvaire, il y a des gens qui ont de la misère à assurer leur maison parce qu'ils ont un Pitbull...
