Very good point. We can't donate our house to the homeless because we have to change the zoning. The neighbour can refuse, that is the basic legal concept in North America. Just like, the neighbour of the restaurant would not support the license.
Ms. Wang has to re-build the relationship with the neighbour to get their support; otherwise, this business can bankrupt her.作者: ffman 时间: 2007-2-5 16:23
这是真的，发生在美国。把房子捐给政府的流浪汉救助机构，政府当然完全接受，像救世军。政府是不会限制不营业的。
如果房子不是她的，就没办法了。
我们的报道总说她买下的是一个餐厅，其实那是一个在皇后街上几乎专门招待下层和糟糕酒客的街头酒吧。老移民会督促她在购买以前亲往酒局和警局了解这个生意在它们那里的记录记载，会让她尽量远离这里寻找生意、至少不要买下这个生意：须知正是这种情况，如果改成了不卖酒的餐馆将更没有办法生存。作者: 小川的爹 时间: 2007-2-5 23:38 标题: Oh, that's why she wanted to show herself to free charged CTTV, she also wanted to grab most benefits for lowest cost. I thought she knew everything, and her friends advised her also. But to her characters, she wanted to buy a million dollars business only cost several 10K dollars. So only must she buy this business. She thought she could save this business as per she is a sadly single mother.
That's why Chinese immigrants always get ourselves into legal trouble because we are so ignorant.
US is US; there are too many states, cities and counties and their by-laws that we cannot generalize one example to another. We don't know the details of this US case, so we can't comment. The logic is like I heard Bill Gates dropped out from school and now he is a rich man. Should we tell our kids to drop out from school?
In ebay, there are so many properties and acres of land, for example, up the Rockies in Montana, selling for $100 or so, but the zoning is for forest or natural preservation. You can't donate these properties to any charity, because they are useless and the charity will have to pay property tax.
Every property and land in Canada and US is zoned, controling their use and purpose. We can't donate a house to homeless without changing the zoning. Salvation Army will say no, if they don't think they have a chance changing the zoning.
Also, Ms Wang bought the business only. She doesn't own the property. She is like the tenant. She has to pay rent, TMI (tax, maintenance and insurance) and perhaps mortgage/business loan. She has nothing to sell, except the business. Without a license, the business is worth almost nothing.
There must be a license renewal hearing. Ms. Wang needs a specialty lawyer to help her negotiate it with the neighbour. If she does it well, she may get a conditional license.作者: 苗琳 时间: 2007-2-6 12:11 标题: 非常关注 看了第二期的报道. 感觉FIONA非常勇敢. 支持一把! :smile:
也有一点建议, 不知道有无效果. 我以为酒和毒品是把这家店搞坏的主要原因. 是否可以考虑, 在保留酒牌的同时先暂停卖酒, 你是老板, 可以决定卖不卖酒. 这样一来, 酗酒的人至少不会踏入你的店. 这对改变此店铺的形象会有帮助. 试想如果来店里正经吃饭的家庭多了. 鸡们和毒贩子没有市场, 自然就不来了. 第二, 可以先把台球桌收起来一段时间, 以后看情况再说.

如果这房子她已经买下来了，就来个狠的。捐给政府的流浪汉救助机构作为街上流浪汉收容站，和吸毒者收容站。同时宣布破产，去领政府救济(一个没钱的单身妈妈，政府会很高兴资助的，这也是政府给逼得。），住政府屋。捐给政府的房子钱可以以后抵税，让那个区的房价彻底玩完。
最聪明的主意！
再怎么努力也是白费，让那些邻居开会吃白食，吃到甜头了，他们老是阻止开业，急得业主老请他们吃白食，好过开业了他们得付钱买。加拿大人可喜欢免费请他们吃饭，他们还可以教训你。作者: Sedona 时间: 2007-2-7 11:05 标题: Please Help Me 最初由[同行者]发布

Please help me understand Ms Wang's behaviour.
Ms. Wang has a legal dispute, which can be resolved by legal means only.
What is for going to the media, except that she has become the talk of the town?
I also don't understand what CTTV is doing. CTTV is reinforcing the new immigrant to go to the media instead of the proper channel.作者: 酬谢的玫瑰 时间: 2007-2-7 11:28 标题: 一鸡 作者: 心静则凉 时间: 2007-2-7 11:37 最初由[liujacker]发布
