nucklehead Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 http://www.cbc.ca/radio/thisisthat/toronto-black-bears-self-taught-doctor-bathroomless-condo-canadian-invasion-1.3772835/mississauga-condo-developer-forgets-to-put-120-bathrooms-in-brand-new-building-satire-1.3773054 Quote Condo living is supposed to be simple. So you can imagine the shock of some Mississauga condo owners when they moved into their units and discovered that something simple was missing: None of the units in the 35 storey building had been equipped with a bathroom. In his interview with This is That, developer Jordan Petrescu, admitted a mistake had been made but surprisingly was not willing to take the blame. "There are no bathrooms in the units, but there were also no bathrooms on the plans or in our show suites," says Mr. Petrescu, "so technically, our customers bought these units knowing they were bathroomless." Click listen to hear how residents are now forced to use a porta-potty in the parking garage as a bathroom. As the building doesn't have balconies either from whence to wee I going to guess this guy pocketed a lot of loot from cutting other corners.

Gurn Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Probably make the tenants pay for washroom installs, like most tenants had to pay for leaky condos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Satire or not that building is an eyesore. Hey let's combine cream-yellow puke-green and a brownish red together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 There's no way that this happened. All architectural plans would be checked by local administrators. There is no way that everybody involved in the design and building of it missed that huge of an omission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I was into that stuff. I only really enjoy it though when mainstream media falls for it and reports it as if it is really true. The Onion has done that a few times and totally embarrassed the media. Not sure if the CBC has ever been actually suckered in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's funnier and less confusing coming from a radio show, than reading it on CBC lol. Seems like it's a click bait, even though the article says SATIRE, facebook and other link doesn't say so. I think CBC is trying to get traffic on their site.

Fateless Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 As others have pointed out - this is satire. And for those complaining about how ugly the building looks, its clearly a stock photo as the amount of units do not line-up with the condo described in the satirical article.
