Having A Shelter From The Store Called Dome Homes
|
|
Weather systems across the country have become more and more extreme over the last few years. Depending on which part of the country you live in, you could be at risk for tornadoes, hurricanes, tropical storms, floods, or earthquakes. We've all seen on the news, people who live in vulnerable areas have their homes demolished by the elements, only to rebuild in the same spot, with the same type of house. Where is the logic? If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten. This same principle applies to housing options in risky areas. If you know that your traditional stick-built house didn't make it through the last hurricane, what makes you think that by simply replacing it, it will survive the next one? And remember, there will always be a next one.
One solution is to look for alternative housing construction. The best home on the market for surviving natural disasters is the monolithic dome home.

New home construction may be frozen in Kanata west
|
|
A June 22 meeting of the City of Ottawa planning and environment committee could lead to a year-long freeze on new development in Kanata West.
City council is considering the freeze as a way to halt new development until an Environmental Assessment regarding an upgrade to the Hazeldean Pumping Station is completed.
Developers who already have building permits will be allowed to continue with current projects, but no new permits will be issued if the freeze is put in place.
Kanata South councillor Peggy Feltmate attempted to pass a similar motion last fall following the July 24, 2009 rainstorm that flooded parts of Glen Cairn. At the time, she said she believed development had to cease until upgrades to the sanitary sewer pumping station could be undertaken.
