I posted to hopefully gather some additional information to what I already have, not to start a shit-storm over this.Not trying to start a shit storm either, it is just really hard to explain Fort Mac to people that do not or have not experienced it.At one time rents were - 4 people all paying 1600.00 each for a 1 bedroom apartment. 7500.00 for a 3 bedroom house, there was 10 people living in that house. Grocery store shelves were empty!!!!, All incoming semi trucks were for the Tar Sands, it is not uncommon for there to be a shortage of staples, and luxury items. Thinking that you are going to do one thing, then dealing with what the rest of us refer to as the Fort Mac Reality is very hard for people to comprehend. I would hesitate to tell anyone that things are anywhere near normal, you are not going to get anything built on a schedule up there, that just is not the way it works. Things do not get done on any normal sane avenue there, what seems normal here or where you are, is nothing like FM is going to be. I wish you all the best in FM, as I said before, it is one of my favorite places, it has a lot to offer, but people need to go into it with their plans being very flexible and expect things to change fast.
