Your City Hall just put on a whole Nollywood show about real estate

Your City Hall was a whole Nollywood film this week!

Saskatoon — seven bridges, two rivers, and something happening you haven't heard about yet. My darlings, this week at City Hall? A whole production, a real Nollywood mini-series unfolding right before our eyes!

Okay, so this is actually wild. The drama mostly centered around real estate, which, honestly, in Saskatoon, is like asking if the river will freeze in winter. Of course it will! It always does!

The main points of contention were:

* Discussions on new zoning regulations, which some councillors treated like a personal affront. * Debates over the sale of a city-owned lot near River Landing, prompting *many* impassioned speeches. * And, of course, the ever-present conversation about affordable housing, which always seems to bring out the most... theatrical performances.

Honestly, it felt like everyone was starring in their own mini-series, and the main plot? Real estate, of course! 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 this kind of back-and-forth is just part of the charm, eh?
