They buyer simply decides to buy or not. The seller *may* discount the price based on cost to repair defects, but they do not have to. |

I have heard of cases of sellers having to pay for repairs for damages that had not been disclosed. In order not to disclose something you have to first know about it. Having a home inspector check the place out should find things that need to be done and the seller can fix it or discount it to make the sale. We had a funny situation two doors down from us. There was a small bungalow on a narrow lot, deep, but very narrow. An older couple bought it with the intention of tearing it down and building their dream house as the back end of the property, which would put their house right next to our next door neighbour's house, and they were a privacy loving couple. The started to gut the house while they applied for relief from bylaws to allow them to build closer to the property line. We neighbours fought it. His argument that he had already gutted the house didn't work. He was rejected. Now he had to sell a half gutted house, and, as it turned out, there were major issues with the septic bed. There wasn't one. The farmer who had owned it years ago did not put in a proper bed, just a lot of gravel with a short line to the tank. The guy had to spent a small fortune to put in a new septic tank and bed. He also had to restore all the drywall he had ripped out. |

About 50 miles from us a builder was putting up a new house and it was 6' from the house next door instead of the required 12'. House was nearly done and they had to tear it down and rebuild another 6 feet away. They were warned but figured on a variance. |

They were warned but figured on a variance. I heard a funny story from my thesis advisor, who was not one to lie or exaggerate. He said a friend had put up a fence on the property line between his property and the nei1ghbour's. The neighbour waited until the fence was finished and then complained to the city that the fence was 6" over the property line. The city came to check and made him take it down and move it 6". He did better than that. He moved it a foot. About a year later the neighbour rebuilt his house and based the location of the property line on the fence. The professor's friend waited until the house was finished and went to the city to report that the house was 6" too close to the property lawn. The city made the guy tear down the new house. |

No. actually there it heats inside better. I gather cleaning the pipe is more problematic though. |

How about talk to the normal folks here, just curious to learn more? I just googled it a bit. Interesting. It sounds like they have a lot of interesting and different street foods. Like many, they blend food cultures. I did find references to more spicy-hot things, but it seems more of a side? |
