Poll results: Green roofs

Last week's poll looked skyward to the new green roof bylaw in Toronto (read more here and here), which requires all new developments to include construction of a green roof (or cash in lieu of $200 per square metre) by Jan. 31, 2010.

While we didn't get a ton of responses on this one, I figured I'd share the very close results anyway.

Half (an even 50 per cent) of those who responded said they don't support the new bylaw, while 42 per cent said they were in favour of it. The remaining eight per cent said they "maybe" support it.

This week, we're looking at the pride of home ownership (read more here and here). A recent survey found that the majority of Canadians believe there are more than just financial benefits to owning home, and that many Canadians believe owning a home is a worthwhile investment, even if it is more work than renting. Do you agree that the merits of owning a home go beyond the financial value? Let me know on the front page poll.
