Saskatoon City Hall's real estate drama was wild this week

Your City Hall was wild, just like a Nollywood movie!

Saskatoon — seven bridges, two rivers, and something happening you haven't heard about yet. My darlings, this week at City Hall, it felt like everyone was starring in their own mini-series, and the main plot? Real estate, of course!

Okay, so this is actually wild. We started with Environment Canada giving us a weather warning that had everyone clutching their pearls. But the real drama? It was all about property.

* Debates over new developments near the riverbanks had council members speaking like they were auditioning for a dramatic monologue.

* Discussions about affordable housing got heated, with some proposals sounding more like abstract art than actual solutions for people living in Nutana or Riversdale.

* And let’s not forget the usual back-and-forth about infrastructure funding, which, honestly, always feels like a soap opera.

Saskatoon is a city that will invite you to a farm-to-table dinner and then make you defend the concept of a city for twenty minutes, so of course, real estate drama is just part of our charm. What a week!
