You've just settled into your dream home on the outskirts of town, nestled amidst serene woodlands and rolling hills. But one sunny afternoon, as you're tending to your garden, you notice a group of officials marking boundaries and taking measurements near the edge of your property. Curious, you approach them and inquire about their activities. With a solemn expression, one of the officials informs you that the city has approved plans for a new highway extension, and your property is in the path of construction. Shocked and dismayed, you watch as your dreams of a peaceful suburban life crumble before your eyes. In this week's episode of LIFE's Inside Track, Ken and Yetta unpack what you need to know about zoning, by-laws, and restrictive covenants.

Aired: April 19th, 2024 on CHRI Radio 99.1FM in Ottawa, Canada.
