I miss my view! Don't get me wrong, I like my current sleeping spot. It's clean, and I sleep really well -- I suppose I could get used to sleeping on a mattress, but I sure adapted quickly, and well to sleeping on a hard surface -- as I was saying, I like the spot, but millionaires stole my view. The old building across the lane from the parkade was a tall, single storey warehouse affair. About a year ago, it finally came down and a three-storey condo complex went up. The brick wall visible in the After image, is well over the old edge of the lane. In fact, The lane is now so narrow at that point, that I watched an ambulance get stuck, and a delivery van actually gouged a bit of the brick wall -- they did a better job fixing it than they did building it! The units still aren't all sold, but, with the view they have, I guess it's just a matter of time.
