And this is the issue with regional lockdowns. Can’t go shopping in Toronto? No problem, lots of malls in the surround areas.Apparently tanger outlets was absolutely rammed today. It looked like yorkdale the week before xmas.

My parents are in their late 70's - I feel bad for them as they have lived in a world of 2 people since March. Fortunately they have a decent size place and are able to get out to walk without interacting with others. I usually see them a few times a month, since March maybe 4 times.
Christmas will be like Thanksgiving. They will be at a table in their garage, me and the kids on a picnic table at the end of the driveway. Only colder.
To be fair, nobody really knows yet officially...todays news was a leak afterall.uh yeah, we're not shutting down lol.

Outdoor transmission is generally considered lower risk than indoors. Standing around a bonfire is probably just fine. If you don't want to do it, then don't.

I'm talking about my work place, we're exempt. I was replying to Brian because we're a client of his.To be fair, nobody really knows yet officially...todays news was a leak afterall.
But I don't expect it to be anything like March and April. And hell, even then it was pretty ridiculous - I went to a place during the peak of the lockdown in April which was manufacturing stuff very specific to amusement parks. Because, you know, THAT was an "Essential business".
The worst part is the number of businesses and factories which have just taken indifference to the extreme. I was at a place Friday where not a single person in the entire factory production floor that I could see (probably 30-40 people) had a mask on or were practicing any distancing, and then I went into the front office to get my paperwork afterwards and it was the exact same thing - 15 or 20 people interspersed with people from the production floor all milling around without a care in the world.
At this point the approaches we've been taking is the government saying "lets cross all our fingers and all our toes and think happy thoughts" while typhoid mary's dance through the streets and workplaces.

As for who you visited prior, it's possible they had other clients who were critical infrastructure. Like us, we're tier 1 and supply stuff direct to DHS (hence our exemption), so by trickle down effect, all our tier 2 suppliers are also exempt and so and so on. You could be an off the shelf distributer of wood screws and if you had the 'right clients' you're expected to stay open and supply.
TBH all of the places that I normally deal with are taking it seriously. Masks, temperature checks, questionnaire, sign-in procedure (for contact tracing), etc. It's not perfect but it will have to do. I know it isn't like that everywhere; the exceptions are causing trouble for the rest of us.
It's a gamble for any landlord. Do they want the space back to potentially rent in the future for more money or a better tenant or are they better keeping the one they have? A lot depends on the relationship. I know some that went pretty well (landlord said don't bother paying rent until business picks up, tenant worked their ***** off to stay current on rent, landlord said your rent is now reduced by 20% for the forseeable future).I'm wondering about the business evictions in trying times.
If I was a landlord and had a renter that had been doing their best to pay the rent and had a good history I would rather have part rent than no rent.
Does the landlord have reason to believe this will soon be over and there will be a high demand for the property at a higher rent?
For renting, it depends on the contract. Maybe the tenant is on a long-term lease at a crazy low rate, getting them out should be a long-term financial win. Alternatively, if the landlord is in the same premises, maybe they want more space and it was occupied by a tenant. For commercial, if the tenant has valuable assets and a high probability of failing, pulling the bandaid off now gives the landlord more to sell and gets the property back on the market sooner.Any landlord who gives a tenant the boot right now, has got to be insane ... but some of them are insane.
Likewise, any bank that forecloses now due to late mortgage payments, is not thinking straight, either.
Anyone having trouble making rent or mortgage payments, or who sees that trouble coming soon, really ought to be having a discussion with their landlord or a representative of their bank, preferably bypassing rule-based IF ... THEN ... automatons if at all possible.
I think landlords are going to be in for a shock. It's not going to impact industrial space for a while, but retail and commercial has to be facing some headwinds.I'm wondering about the business evictions in trying times.

A few of my buddies are being told not to even bother thinking of returning back to work before 2022/23 because the companies are loving the WFH savings.I think landlords are going to be in for a shock.

Some of the big downtown employers have converted thousands of jobs to WFH, I know several big employers who are not renewing large building leases.
Condos in the GTA will pull back for sure, too much supply in the pipeline, too much conversion back from short term rentals, too many frustrated with the 'condo life' in a pandemic. The house market is seeing an increase in demand from the migrating condo dwellers, it also has no short term rental surplus to be absorbed so prices will stay strong for a while.For renting, it depends on the contract.

Foreclosure is an interesting topic. For most single-family homes unless the bank cut a ridiculous mortgage to start (eg. bidding war six figures over fair market value and the bank decided to fund it) their money is safe. Just keep piling up the penalties and interest to add profit with no additional risk. Basically start clawing back equity from the homeowner and let them decide whether to sell to stop the bleeding. For condos, that have a very real possibility of a large price correction, it plays out differently. Do they foreclose now and try to get as much as possible out? I think the answer is probably yes. Obviously that will accelerate the price depression, but the first bank that goes is the victor at the expense of those that waited.
It's one thing to do wfh for a limited period and quite different to make it permanent. Many dwellings are barely comfortable for people to live in pre-pandemic, having one or more people trying to work full-time in that space can easily drive people crazy. I suspect more and more people will relocate out from the city to get more space. As with everything, that will probably overshoot and companies will try to pull some people back into offices, but how does that work if you sold your condo and moved to the Bruce Peninsula?A few of my buddies are being told not to even bother thinking of returning back to work before 2022/23 because the companies are loving the WFH savings.
as for us, we’ve been extended to March with possibly September. It saddens me what’s happening, but the big boys and girls are snapping up failing businesses, buildings, and office space at an alarming rate. Whoever has money is going to make out like a bandit if they play their cars right. Hell I’d snap up a few condos if I could find the capital.
