Should also be noted Oakville for the past 10 years has had this phenomenon of rich families buying already rather sizeable houses (2-3 bedrooms), tearing them down, making Monster houses on the land and then selling it for more. Has led to a lot of people trying to get us to move and a lot of Oakville's expensive land (because apparently having rich/stuck up neighbours is something to pay extra for), and has resulted in riding your bike on the sidewalk to be illegal (though granted only enforced by a bi-law).
